About U-Cyl Plus Slim
U-Cyl Plus slimline (475mm) universal pre-plumbed heat pump cylinder with tank kit, 150L and 180L. U-Cyl Plus Slim is designed and built in our own UK factory.
The specification above lists the U-Cyl Plus — Slim models from our current product data. Other sizes, connections and configurations are built to order.
See the rest of our pre-plumbed cylinders, or our Packaged Cylinders overview.
U-Cyl or U-Cyl+?
Both are universal pre-plumbed cylinders, for any air source heat pump, with the same buffer, coil and factory-fitted pipework. The difference is the electrics (and the U-Cyl+ comes with the tank kit).
- U-Cyl+ has an electrical control box with two relays. One lets the heat pump switch the immersion heater (a 13 amp load some heat pumps can’t switch themselves), for legionella protection. The other switches the heat pump on and off through a volt-free contact, for heat pumps that need one.
- U-Cyl has no electrical control box. Choose it when the heat pump’s own controls, or other controls on site, switch the immersion heater and the heat pump.
Not sure which your heat pump needs? We have air source heat pump (ASHP) wiring instructions: ask our technical team and we’ll send them, or try our pre-plumbed cylinder selector. See the U-Cyl.
