Factory-Plumbed Cylinder Solutions

EXCELSIOR pre-plumb cylinders are designed for projects where speed, consistency and reduced site work are important. Based on Fabdec’s stainless steel water heating, buffer and heat pump compatible vessels, each unit can be plumbed at the factory before delivery to help simplify the installation process.

By completing more of the pipework and component assembly before the vessel reaches site, pre-plumb cylinders can help installers reduce time on site and create a cleaner, more repeatable installation. This makes them a practical option for projects where a faster, more prepared cylinder package is preferred.

Configuration Area Options
Vessel Type Water heater, buffer vessel or heat pump compatible cylinder
Plumbing Arrangement Factory-fitted pipework prepared around the system layout
Connection Positions Reviewed to suit access, pipe routes and installation requirements
Component Options Pipework, valves and associated fittings can be considered by project
Installation Benefit Designed to reduce site work and support faster installation
Project Basis Specified around vessel type, system demand and available space

EXCELSIOR pre-plumb cylinders are specified around the vessel type, system layout and installation requirements. Instead of a fixed standard range, each solution is reviewed around the project so the plumbing arrangement can support a faster and cleaner site installation.

Why Choose EXCELSIOR Pre-Plumb Cylinders?

EXCELSIOR pre-plumb cylinders are built for projects where a prepared cylinder package can reduce installation complexity. By completing key plumbing work at the factory, the vessel arrives on site with more of the system assembly already in place.

This can help reduce site labour, support a cleaner installation and improve consistency across repeat projects. It is especially useful where access, time pressure or project sequencing makes on-site assembly less efficient.

Because pre-plumb options can be based on EXCELSIOR water heating cylinders, buffer vessels or heat pump compatible vessels, the solution can be adapted around the system requirement rather than limited to a single vessel type.
