15mm x 22mm Tundish Straight With Plastic Nuts AP-400010

The Essential Safety Net for Your Heating System

Ensuring a boiler or unvented cylinder installation is safe, compliant, and built to last is the hallmark of a professional job. This 15mm x 22mm straight tundish from Altecnic is a go-to choice for this reason. It’s a small but critical component that provides a visible, safe discharge route for water from temperature or pressure relief valves, preventing cross-contamination and giving you total peace of mind.

Why This Tundish is a Must-Have for Any Installation

Every heating engineer knows that a job isn’t just about connecting pipes; it’s about guaranteeing safety and adhering to UK Water Regulations. This Altecnic 15mm tundish is a critical component for achieving just that, especially as it’s suitable for use where an air gap or air break is required in sealed or unvented systems. It expertly creates a visible Type AA air gap, which acts as an instant fault detection system, allowing you to spot any discharge from relief valves immediately. This simple visual check is your first line of defence, alerting you to potential issues with an expansion vessel or the system's pressure, protecting the integrity of your entire heating setup.

Imagine the alternative: a hidden leak from a pressure relief valve going unnoticed for weeks, leading to potential water damage or masking a serious system fault. This discharge pipe tundish eliminates that risk entirely. Seeing water flow through it isn’t just a sign of a leak; it’s a clear diagnostic signal that something needs attention. Crucially, this visible air gap also protects the potable water supply by preventing any risk of backflow, ensuring your installation is fully compliant and safe for the homeowner. It’s a non-negotiable piece of kit for modern plumbing and heating work, delivering confidence to both the installer and the end-user.

Crafted by Altecnic, a trusted name in the industry, this durable and reliable 15mm tundish is also quick to install. The straightforward 15mm x 22mm compression fittings with plastic nuts make for a secure, time-saving connection. This level of quality and ease of use means it integrates perfectly, whether you're working with high-performance pumps from Grundfos or robust plumbing fittings from Polypipe. A reliable system also depends on precise control, and pairing quality fittings like this with trusted controls from brands like Danfoss ensures every part of the system works in harmony. You’re not just fitting a part; you’re upholding the safety standards of the entire system and demonstrating true professionalism.
