Everything you need to pass your unvented course first time — from how the controls work to discharge pipework, the regs and full commissioning, all explained in plain English.
Built for plumbers and heating engineers taking or refreshing their unvented hot water storage qualification — whether it's your first time or you just want the detail fresh before assessment.
✓ You're working towards your unvented (G3) ticket.
✓ You want the controls, discharge and regs to actually make sense.
✓ You'd like the key numbers — pressures, temperatures, D2 sizing — to stick.
✓ You want to revise on your phone rather than wade through a manual.
Clear teaching across every part of the unvented system, with the safety-critical detail front and centre — then a quiz to test yourself as you go.
What an unvented system is, storage vs non-storage, direct vs indirect, and exactly why stored water under pressure has to be treated with respect.
The inlet control set in order, taking up expansion, the difference between a PRV and a pressure-limiting valve, and the balanced cold supply.
The three-tier temperature protection, how indirect systems shut the heat off, and preventing scalding at the tap.
Copper or steel, direct or indirect heating, the two ways to take up expansion, twin-coil (solar) cylinders and insulation.
D1 valve to tundish, the tundish itself, D2 to the outside, how to size the D2 and where a discharge can safely terminate.
The rules that govern the work, who can install and how it's notified, siting the cylinder, and reading the discharge to find the fault.
The full step-by-step sequence — from setting the expansion vessel pre-charge, through filling and testing the safety controls, to the heat-up cycle and handover.
Symptom-to-cause fault tables, common installation defects, safe actions when a part isn't available, and routine servicing.

Unvented hot water storage systems end to end: the system types and safety risk, functional and safety controls, cylinders and expansion, discharge pipework (D1, the tundish and D2), the regulations and siting, fault-finding, maintenance and full commissioning.
No. It's learning and revision support to help you understand the system and prepare — it isn't a substitute for your training course or the assessment itself.
Sixty days from the moment you buy — time to learn it, revise it and go back over anything that hasn't stuck.
Just a phone, tablet or laptop and a web browser. Nothing to install.
