Tundishes

Tundishes for Cylinders are essential safety components used in unvented hot water systems. They provide a visible discharge point for water released from pressure relief or safety valves, helping to prevent water damage and ensuring compliance with UK regulations.

About Tundishes

Tundishes are funnel-shaped devices installed below safety or pressure relief valves on hot water cylinders. When excess water is released, the tundish allows it to flow visibly and safely into a drain, preventing unnoticed leaks and water damage. They are compatible with various cylinder types, including unvented and sealed systems, and are available in multiple sizes and materials.
