Antifreeze, approx (40% concentrate)

Measures — Heating circuit

  • •Propylene-glycol antifreeze to −30°C in non-potable circuits — never in drinking/DHW
  • •Or boiler frost-protection mode: keep +5…+10°C
  • •Insulate pipes in unheated zones (XPS/foam rubber)
  • •Self-regulating heat cable on outdoor/attic runs + thermostat

Propylene glycol is for heating/non-potable circuits only. Potable lines must never use antifreeze — depth, insulation, cable and drain-down only. A heat cable without a thermostat wastes power and is unsafe.
