Are the dwelling connections mixed up in the Ubbink/Brink Vigor/Flair docs?

Looks to me like the arrows on 1 and 3 are the wrong way round, no? And what is it with their multiple brand/product names - is this not confusing enough already?

Why would 1 and 3 be the wrong way around? Just check mine, not the same make but exactly the same terminal positions.  Only difference between different units is if they are configured to be left or right handed, but then 2 and 4 and 1 and 3 swop positions.

Maybe different brands for different countries, or selling you the same thing at different price points via another name

Oh I see now:

 

 

That's meant to be a little house, so it doesn't mean the flow is in the direction of the arrow (no, sirree) it means the flow is into the house. The flow is actually the opposite direction in the pipe. That's clear then 😁.

I got done like a kipper fitting one a couple of weeks back lol. Was looking at the symbols from the back of the unit and my poor little brain didn't allow me to mirror it. 

 

An hour or so of swearing and looking like a tit in front of the client, and all good.

 

Noticed just after I had finished fitting the self adhesive neoprene insulation to it...ffs. 🥲😭🥲

Yeah it's a bit confusing! Easy to read them as directional, which they're not. Just imagine the main unit in the loft of the little house, and it makes a bit more sense. 

 

Regarding brands, they're also sold in Germany by Wolf (also owned by Ariston) as the CWL-2. Knowing the various names helps when comparing prices on filters etc!

Well I'm glad it's not just us DIYers who have to think carefully about it!
