PulsaCoil BP

Hot water cylinder utilising off-peak electric

Gledhill Building Products has developed the PulsaCoil BP, a thermal storage cylinder that provides mains pressure hot water utilising off-peak electric, specifically designed for use in new build apartments.

The PulsaCoil BP is an open vented thermal store, which does not require a pressure and temperature relief valve and subsequently does not need any discharge pipe work. It therefore overcomes the requirement of the Part G Building Regulations which prohibits the connection of a discharge pipe from an unvented cylinder into a soil stack.

The PulsaCoil BP’s innovative design helps make installation and ongoing maintenance straightforward for the installer.

Other benefits of the PulsaCoil BP include the fact that the immersion elements are situated in the same primary water at all times and this water is not renewed so no scaling takes place, even in hard water areas. As the cylinder can utilise the off-peak electricity supply it keeps the running costs for the householder down to a minimum.

Pulsacoil BP thermal stores do not require any annual maintenance, unlike with an unvented cylinder. The product fully complies with the HWA (Hot Water Asscoation) specification for thermal stores and is fully 2010 Part L1A (new build and refurbishment) compliant.
