The Ferroli Bravo 30L (MPN: SN30VE3.0) is a 30-litre unvented over-sink electric storage water heater, supplied complete with a G3 expansion kit and factory-fitted T&P relief valve — the largest model in the Ferroli Bravo point-of-use range and the only one in the series that includes a T&P valve as standard. Powered by a 3 kW element at 240 V and rated IPX4, it delivers a substantial store of mains-pressure hot water for kitchens, utility rooms, workshops, outbuildings, and commercial washroom applications where a full cylinder installation is impractical. It ships with a reinforced hanging bracket, built-in cable, and 2-year warranty.

⚠ G3 Competent Person Required
The Bravo 30L is an unvented hot water storage appliance. Installation must be carried out by a G3 accredited competent person in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document G3 (England & Wales) or equivalent Scottish / Northern Irish regulations. All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician to current IET Wiring Regulations.

ℹ Over-sink model only — standard mixer taps compatible
The SN30VE3.0 is an over-sink (above-sink) model only — it is not available in an under-sink configuration at this capacity. Cold water enters from above and hot water is discharged downward to the tap. As an unvented unit storing water at mains pressure, it is compatible with standard shut-off taps and thermostatic mixer taps — no open-outlet spout tap is required.

ℹ T&P valve fitted — unique to the 30L in the Bravo range
The Bravo 30L is the only model in the Bravo series to include a factory-fitted Temperature & Pressure relief valve as standard. On the 10L and 15L models, the T&P valve is not included. This reflects the larger stored volume and associated unvented safety requirements at 30 litres — a further reason why G3 competency is essential for installation of this model.

KEY FEATURES

Complete G3 Package — T&P Valve Fitted

The SN30VE3.0 ships as a complete, G3-compliant package. The expansion kit and a factory-fitted T&P (Temperature & Pressure) relief valve are included as standard — the only Bravo model to feature a factory-fitted T&P valve. This simplifies procurement: no separate unvented component kit required for this unit.

30 L Mains-Pressure Storage

With 30 litres stored at mains pressure, the Bravo 30L provides substantially more continuous hot water capacity than the 10L and 15L Bravo models — supporting prolonged sink use, light commercial hand-washing demands, or kitchen applications where larger volumes of hot water are needed without a full unvented cylinder installation.

3 kW Element — Faster Recovery

The 3 kW heating element at 240 V — rated higher than the 2 kW elements in the 10L and 15L models — delivers faster heat recovery after draw-off, maintaining a ready supply of hot water during periods of sustained use. Suitable for connection to a dedicated 13 A fused spur on a standard ring main.

IPX4 — Bathroom & Wet-Area Rated

IPX4 splash-proof protection means the Bravo 30L can be installed in bathrooms, cloakrooms, utility rooms, and other splash-risk environments, subject to current IET Wiring Regulations zone requirements (BS 7671). The shockproof ABS outer casing provides robust protection in commercial and industrial installation environments.

Reinforced Bracket — Simple Wall-Mounting

A reinforced hanging bracket is supplied as standard for secure wall-mounting above the sink. The bracket is engineered to take the full weight of the unit when filled — important at 30 litres where the loaded weight is considerably more than the compact 10L and 15L models. Ensure the wall structure is adequate for the filled weight before installation.

Rust-Free · Shockproof · Adjustable Temperature

Rust-free internal construction and a shockproof ABS outer casing give the Bravo 30L long service life in demanding environments including workshops, outbuildings, and commercial premises. A user-adjustable thermostat allows temperature to be set to preference. The pre-fitted cable (without plug) is ready for connection to a fused spur by a qualified electrician.

Versatile Installation Locations

The Bravo 30L can be installed wherever there is access to a cold-water supply and a power source — not only above a kitchen or bathroom sink, but also in utility rooms, outbuildings, garage workshops, garden rooms, holiday lets, caravans, and commercial premises requiring a local, self-contained hot water supply without running pipework from a distant cylinder.

Ferroli Bravo Range — Consistent Specification

The Bravo 30L shares the same build quality, ABS casing, and mounting system as the 10L and 15L Bravo models, allowing a consistent Ferroli specification across multiple washroom locations in the same building. The 30L is the only Bravo available solely as an over-sink model; 10L and 15L are available in both under-sink and over-sink configurations.

WHAT'S INCLUDED AS STANDARD

Bravo 30L over-sink water heater (SN30VE3.0)
G3 expansion kit (unvented safety components)
Factory-fitted T&P (Temperature & Pressure) relief valve — only Bravo model with this fitted as standard
Reinforced hanging bracket
Pre-fitted electrical cable (without plug)

Note: an open-outlet (swivel spout) tap is NOT required — the Bravo 30L is unvented (mains pressure) and is compatible with standard shut-off and thermostatic mixer taps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can the Bravo 30L be installed under a sink?

No — the SN30VE3.0 is an over-sink model only. Cold water enters from above and hot water discharges downward to the tap below. The 10L and 15L Bravo models are available in both over-sink and under-sink variants, but the 30L is produced only in the over-sink configuration. Ensure adequate clearance above the sink and sufficient wall strength for the filled unit weight before installation.

Does the Bravo 30L need an open-outlet (spout) tap?

No — the Bravo 30L is an unvented unit storing water at mains pressure. Unlike vented water heaters (such as the Ferroli Novo range), it does not require an open-outlet swivel spout tap. It is fully compatible with standard quarter-turn shut-off taps, monobloc kitchen taps, and thermostatic mixer taps. This makes it a much more flexible choice in terms of tap selection compared to vented alternatives.

Why does the 30L include a T&P valve when the 10L and 15L do not?

Building Regulations and unvented system requirements mandate a Temperature & Pressure relief valve as a primary safety device on unvented storage heaters above a certain stored volume. The 30-litre stored volume at mains pressure represents a significantly higher stored energy level than the smaller models, making the T&P valve a code requirement. Ferroli factory-fit this valve on the SN30VE3.0, simplifying installation and ensuring G3 compliance without additional component sourcing.

Is the Bravo 30L suitable for a workshop, outbuilding, or commercial premises?

Yes — the Bravo 30L is well suited to workshops, garages, outbuildings, holiday lets, caravans, and commercial washroom applications where running pipework from a central hot water cylinder is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Its IPX4 rating, shockproof ABS casing, and mains-pressure delivery make it a robust choice for demanding environments. The 30-litre store supports sustained use at sinks without constant recovery waits.

What electrical circuit does the Bravo 30L require?

The Bravo 30L draws 3 kW at 240 V, equating to approximately 12.5 A. It should be connected to a dedicated 13 A fused spur on a ring main circuit, or a separate radial circuit if required by your electrician for cable run length or circuit loading. The unit ships with a pre-fitted cable without a plug — connection to the fused spur must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with IET Wiring Regulations. A 30 mA RCD is recommended in the supply circuit.

Can the Bravo 30L be installed in a bathroom?

Yes, provided the installation complies with IET Wiring Regulations zone requirements for bathrooms (BS 7671). The IPX4 rating confirms splash-proof protection suitable for areas subject to water spray. Your electrician will confirm the zone classification and whether additional protection such as RCD-only spur protection is required. The unit must be positioned securely above the basin with adequate wall fixings.
