About Horizontal Unvented Cylinders

World Heat Cylinders provides a comprehensive range of Horizontal Unvented Cylinders, expertly designed for installations where vertical height is limited. These space-saving solutions are perfect for locations such as lofts, attics, under eaves, or crawl spaces, delivering high-performance mains pressure hot water without compromising on capacity or efficiency.

Our Horizontal SuperFlow Unvented cylinder range, manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, is specifically engineered to provide maximum efficiency for horizontal unvented cylinder applications, with standard sizes from 120 to 500 litres and bespoke cylinders built to order.

Advantages of Horizontal Unvented Cylinders

Choosing a World Heat Cylinders Horizontal Unvented Cylinder offers several distinct benefits, especially for challenging installations:

  • Space Efficiency: Primarily, their horizontal orientation allows installation in areas with restricted headroom where a standard vertical cylinder would not fit. This makes them ideal for maximising unused spaces.
  • Mains Pressure Hot Water: Enjoy powerful showers and fast-filling baths, as these cylinders deliver hot water at mains pressure to all outlets.
  • High Flow Rates: Designed to provide excellent flow rates, ensuring consistent hot water delivery even when multiple taps are in use.
  • Durable Stainless Steel Construction: We manufacture our horizontal unvented cylinders from high-quality Duplex stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and ensuring a long, reliable service life.
  • High-Performance Insulation: Featuring foam-injected zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) insulation, these cylinders minimise heat loss, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing running costs.
  • Versatile Capacity Range: Standard horizontal sizes run from 120 to 500 litres, and we build bespoke sizes to order.

Applications & Bespoke Horizontal Solutions

Our horizontal unvented cylinders are suitable for a wide array of applications, including:

  • Domestic properties with loft conversions or limited cupboard space.
  • Apartments and flats where plant room height is restricted.
  • Light commercial installations needing a space-saving mains pressure solution.
  • New-build projects designed with horizontal cylinder placements.
  • Retrofit applications replacing older horizontal tanks.

Bespoke Options Available On Request: We understand that standard sizes don't always fit every project. Consequently, if you require specific dimensions, connection orientations, or additional tappings for your horizontal unvented cylinder, please discuss your requirements with our technical sales support team. Indeed, we can often tailor a solution to meet your exact needs.

Quality & Manufacturing Standards

At World Heat Cylinders, we build every horizontal unvented cylinder to the highest standards:

  • A 25 year guarantee on stainless steel unvented cylinders up to 300 litres reflects the quality of materials and our manufacturing expertise.
  • Stainless steel cylinders over 300 litres: 12 months on the vessel, against a material defect or manufacturing fault.
  • We use foam injected zero ozone depletion insulation for superior thermal performance.
  • While the inner vessel is stainless steel, units can be supplied with a high-grade white coated galvanised steel finish for external durability and aesthetics.
  • All our cylinders are British Manufactured under a BSI audited ISO9001 quality management system, ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
