Plus System Kit: the complete solution to all installation
complexities. The Famar heating fireplace meets the long-
standing need to manage a system with a solid fuel heat generator
(open circuit) and interface it with another generator (closed
circuit). This need is satisfied by the Famar heating fireplace
which, upon request, can be equipped with the completely pre-
mounted Plus System Kit, assembled and accessorized with all the
necessary components, in order to avoid significant energy
expenditure and guarantee savings in labor and materials. In fact,
Famar heating fireplaces are meticulously detailed: connections,
copper piping, and a stainless steel expansion tank, offering safety
that complies with current regulations. In this way, the plumber
has a series of connections available at the bottom of the heating
fireplace shell—on either the right or left side as preferred—to be
linked to the main manifolds.
THE ADVANTAGE OF A PRE-ASSEMBLED KIT
The Plus System Kit includes, within a compact and pre-
assembled space, the stainless steel expansion tank and the
connections between two heat generators. This setup resolves
the issues normally found in open-circuit systems. In this way,
it is no longer necessary to install an open expansion tank—
along with its relative safety and loading pipes—on the ceiling
of the home where the system is located.

THE SMART SYSTEM KIT ON THE HEATING
FIREPLACE
The Smart System Kit offers a versatile interface for control
between an open vessel and a closed vessel, equipped with the
same functionalities as the Plus System Kit. Its hydraulic
simplification, characterized by the absence of certain components
(as indicated in the diagram), makes it an effective and intuitive
solution for specific needs.
