Introduction 03
Small unvented water heating
Mains pressure and high flow rates at all hot taps
Balanced hot/cold water supplies
Ideal for multi-basin installations
Flexible siting - no need for cold water cistern
Can be used with standard taps
Heatrae Sadia's small unvented range has products to suit all
applications from a single basin to five high usage basins or
seven low usage basins.
Unvented systems are now in widespread use and their benefits are recognised by
specifiers, installers and end users. Fed directly from the cold water mains supply,
they offer a number of benefits compared to conventional vented systems.

04 Features and benefits
Multipoint is the market-leading range of small unvented
water heaters and is ideal for any situation where a single heater
is required to service the needs of multiple outlets. Multipoint is
supplied with a factory-fitted temperature and pressure relief
valve, is quick and easy to install and is offered in a wide range
of capacities and ratings.
High-grade copper is used for the Multipoint inner container
because of its optimum performance in terms of durability and
corrosion resistance. Copper requires no sacrificial anode and
therefore avoids the need for regular inspection and
replacement. Unlike other lesser grade materials, it also
withstands shock and vibration during delivery, installation
and maintenance.
10 and 15 litre capacities
Choice of 3kW and 4.5kW ratings
Five-year inner container guarantee
Replaceable long-life alloy-sheathed element
Externally adjustable thermostat 10C to 70C max.

Accessory selection 07 06 Accessories
A full range of accessories is available for installation with
Multipoint 10 and 15 litre water heaters. These are supplied as
Accessory Packs.
Thermostatic blending valve, Pack U3 (TMV2) and Pack U7
(TMV3), can also be used with Multipoint 30 and 50 litre units.
When installing small unvented water heaters, it is essential that
the correct accessory packs are used. The selection guide on
page 07 indicates the appropriate pack(s) for different heaters
and situations.
If the expansion in the cold main is restricted, for example by a
stop valve, check valve or water meter, an accessory pack which
includes an expansion vessel must be fitted. See diagrams 2 and
3 on page 07.
A knowledge of the maximum incoming water pressure is an
essential requirement prior to installation; where this is not
known the local Water Authority should be consulted.
Multipoint 10/15 ACCESSORIES Multipoint 10/15 ACCESSORY SELECTION
The Pressure Reducing Valve limits water pressure to
3.5 bar (50 psi).
The Strainer filters coarse impurities from the water
supply.
Connection 1/2" BSP female.
Installation Pack U1 must be installed on the cold inlet
side of the heater and before the expansion vessel.
Where possible, installation should be on the mains side
of the cold water tap draw-off. This will result in balanced
water supplies and is particularly important when mixers
are to be used.
Where Pack U1 is fitted with a Multipoint, it must be
used with Pack U2.
Pack U1 for use with Multipoint 10 and 15 litre:
Combined pressure reducing valve and strainer
The Expansion Vessel, when fully charged, will absorb
all expanded water produced by the Multipoint heater
during normal operation.
Connection 1/2" BSP male; Precharged 4.1 bar.
The Check Valve prevents backflow of hot water and
eliminates any possibility of cross-contamination
between cold and hot water.
Connection 15mm x 15mm compression.
The Expansion Valve opens at 6 bar (87 psi). It acts as a
back-up to the expansion vessel.
Connections Inlet 1/2" BSP male; drain 1/2" BSP female.
Installation Pack U2, where used, must be installed
in close proximity to the heater on the inlet side as
shown in diagrams 2 and 3 on page 07.

Multipoint pack selection guide
A key factor in the selection of accessories is the maximum
incoming water pressure at a particular location. Where this is not
known, installers are recommended to consult the local water
authority for more precise information. When fitting small unvented
water heaters it is important that, where necessary, the correct
accessory packs are fitted to suit local conditions. For assistance in
their selection and fitting, consult the following guide:

protection, and is ideal for the control of Legionellae and the extension of
system capacities.
08 Features and benefits
Multipoint 30/50 FOR UP TO SEVEN BASINS
Vertical models only. *Based on a five-minute shower @ 12 ltr/min., 40C capacity, recommendations are based on BS 6700.
Multipoint 30/50 are ideal for commercial applications such as
cloakrooms, kitchens or washrooms, where a single heater is
required to service multiple draw-offs. The 50 litre product may
also be used for single point showering. Versions of both
products are available with 1kW elements for use in locations
where electrical loading is restricted (horizontal unit 3kW only).
Multipoint 30 and 50 units are supplied complete with necessary
installation accessories. A thermostatic blending valve can also
be used. See page 06 for details.
As with all unvented units above 15 litres, it is a Building
Regulation requirement that installers are competent to install
Multipoint 30 & 50 litre units. This normally means having
successfully completed a course in unvented systems.
