"Requirement G3 does not apply to -

(a) a hot water storage system that has a storage vessel with a
capacity
of 15 litres or less;


Interesting potential loophole in that it doesn't say has _only_ a
storage vessel with a capacity of 15 litres of less.....


Are you think that if you install half a dozen 15 litre units in parallel
then you can get around the rules 8-).

The intention of the rule is to separate out the smaller unvented
cylinders usually electrically heated and intended for single point

He can fit a number of 15 litre units and DIY it. But why, when he can fit
a vented heat bank and DIY that.
