With the increasing demand for air source heat pumps (ASHPs), Baxi is helping engineers simplify and speed up installations with the launch of the Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder.
Designed specifically to work with Baxi ASHPs, the Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder provides optimal heating and hot water performance while helping homeowners save energy.
The cylinder helps installers save time on installation as much of the pipework and fittings are already in place. Additionally, the cylinder comes pre-wired, further simplifying and reducing time needed on electrical connections.
The new cylinder is available in capacities of 170, 210, 250, or 300 litres to ensure installers have the flexibility needed for a wide range of projects. Its compact footprint also enables installation into an airing cupboard or smaller space.
Due to its extra-large coil, explicitly designed for use with heat pumps, Baxi’s ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder delivers faster heating times and increases the availability of hot water. Thanks to the high flow rate of 76 L/min and its in-built backup immersion heater, the cylinder is well-suited to homes with multiple bathrooms.
The intuitive integrated controller enables direct control of domestic hot water and central heating. With the addition of an optional accessory kit, heating can be controlled across 2 zones.
To simplify commissioning, the cylinder comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity so that engineers can wirelessly connect to the Baxi Commissioning Tool via the Baxi Start App. The homeowner can access remote comfort control if used alongside the Baxi uSense 2 Smart Room Thermostat.
Manufactured from “Duplex” stainless steel for superior quality and corrosion resistance, the tank comes with a two-year warranty as standard, with a 10-year warranty on the inner tank.
Rob Pearse, Residential Business Director at Baxi, said: “We’re continually looking for new ways to support installers, and that’s why we’re excited to bring our new Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder to market. It’s been designed from the ground up to make installation and servicing simpler for engineers and provide the reliable and efficient heat and hot water that will keep their customers happy.”
