Product detailed description
Vaillant – Connection Kit for aroTHERM plus Outdoor Unit, Bottom Installation with Cover
Original complete connection (mounting) kit from Vaillant for the solution of pipe routing to the aroTHERM plus outdoor unit from below – that is, where the pipe comes to the unit from below, through a concrete foundation or compacted ground, and not laterally through the wall of the house. The kit includes a complete casing made of thermal insulation material meeting the requirements of current legislation on building energy efficiency (in Germany marked as GEG-conform, equivalent to our requirements for limiting heat losses through building envelope constructions).
Kit Contents
- 2× stainless steel corrugated (flexible) tube, length approx. 250 mm, with flat gasket DN 25 and double-sided sleeve nut G 1 1/4"
- 2× connectors (type Beulco or equivalent) suitable for PE pipe with diameter 40 mm, for connection to the underground routing to the indoor unit/hydraulic module
- Complete cover/casing made of EPP (expanded polypropylene) – meets the requirements for thermal insulation of the transition, is resistant to bird pecking and weather influences
- Cover plate and mounting consoles/feet for complete finalization of the transition
Purpose and Use
The kit provides an aesthetically and thermally clean transition of pipe routing (return and supply branch of heating water) between the outdoor unit and the underground routing to the indoor unit, while maintaining the required thermal insulation parameters of the transition (to prevent heat loss through an imperfect or insufficiently insulated transition, or the formation of condensation and mold at the transition point). It is suitable especially for installations where the outdoor unit is placed on open ground (on pedestals or elevated base) near the house, with a short underground route.
Technical Parameters
- Dimensions of the complete cover assembly: approx. height 450 mm, width 355 mm, depth 425 mm
- Weight: approx. 6.2 kg
- Cover material: EPP (expanded polypropylene), UV and weather resistant
- Connection to the unit: via a set of stainless steel corrugated tubes with sleeve nut G 1 1/4"
- Connection to the routing: connectors for PE pipe Ø 40 mm
Compatibility
Designed for aroTHERM plus outdoor units, including versions with the uniTOWER plus module (models VWL 75/6 A, VWL 105/6 A, VWL 125/6 A with uniTOWER). Combined as needed with connecting hoses (pressfit or threaded version – see our separate products) and, if necessary, with the extension kit "Extension" (0010027972) for route extension.
Installation
Installation includes placing the lower part of the cover into a prepared excavation/foundation so that the pipe transition is at the level of the unit's floor/foundation, connecting the flexible stainless steel corrugated tubes to the unit's connectors, connecting the PE routing via the supplied connectors, and finally closing and insulating with the cover. Implementation must be carried out exclusively by a qualified person authorized for heat pump installation, in accordance with the current manufacturer's installation instructions and the requirements of applicable legislation on thermal protection of transitions.
Common Questions
How does this kit differ from the "through the wall" version? This kit solves the pipe transition from below (through the foundation/ground), while the alternative kit (0010027974) solves the transition laterally through the wall of the house – the choice depends on the installation layout.
Is it necessary to purchase connecting hoses separately? The kit includes short corrugated hoses for direct connection to the unit; for a longer route to the indoor unit, it is combined with additional connecting kits as needed.
Does the kit meet current energy efficiency requirements? Yes, the thermal insulation casing is designed to minimize heat losses at the transition point in accordance with current standards.
Operational and Service Recommendations
During the annual service inspection, we recommend checking the condition of the transition cover (integrity of the EPP casing, possible signs of rodent damage or mechanical damage) and the tightness of the connected corrugated hoses. In case of cover damage, we recommend its replacement to maintain the declared thermal insulation function of the transition.
Related Accessories
In case of route extension, use the additional part "Extension" (0010027972). For connection to the unit, choose the appropriate type of connecting hose (pressfit 0010027976 or threaded version 0010027989) according to the preferred installation technology.
Warranty and Professional Installation
This product is covered by a warranty period of 24 months. Installation involving the transition through the foundation/ground and connection to the heating water routing must be carried out exclusively by a qualified person authorized for heat pump installation.
Shipping
The product is shipped as a standard parcel; we recommend ordering it together with the outdoor unit and related accessories for joint installation.
How to Choose the Correct Connection Kit
Vaillant offers several mutually combinable parts for connecting the aroTHERM plus outdoor unit to the heating water routing, from which the installation company assembles a complete route according to the specific building layout:
- Type of transition – from below through the foundation/ground (kit for bottom installation) or laterally through the wall of the house (kit for wall installation) – the choice depends on the unit's position relative to the house and the routing layout in the project.
- Type of end connection to the routing – pressfit (permanent and maintenance-free after crimping) or threaded/quick-release (removable, does not require professional crimping tools).
- Need for route extension – in case of greater distance between the unit and the transition point (e.g., when combined with an elevated base or with larger units with the uniTOWER module), the basic kit is supplemented with an extension part.
All parts are designed to form a continuous, thermally insulated and mechanically protected route meeting the requirements of current legislation on limiting heat losses through building envelope constructions. We recommend leaving the exact selection and combination of individual parts to the installation company based on the specific building layout.
Installation Procedure Step by Step
- Prepare the excavation/foundation for the lower part of the cover so that the pipe transition corresponds to the level of the unit's floor/foundation.
- Mount the lower part of the EPP cover and connect the flexible stainless steel corrugated tubes to the unit's connectors.
- Connect the PE pipe routing via the supplied connectors (Beulco or equivalent).
- Perform a pressure test of the connection before final closing of the cover.
- Close and insulate the transition with the upper part of the cover, or install an extension part if the route is longer.
- Backfill/adjust the ground around the transition and put the system into operation.

Easter Bunny in the logo - intended for the success of the company
Pink dwarfs and cute animals stand around and admire the miracle of the egg. Johann Vaillant is fascinated by the scene and decides to buy both the picture and the copyright. For Vaillant, this means the establishment of its brand and an extremely successful story.
Very distinctive brand profile
Since 1899, the motif has adorned all products, catalogs and brochures. In a few short years, Vaillant built an excellent reputation that spread throughout Germany and even beyond its borders. Vaillant gave its logo clear lines and outlines. "The Bunny in the Egg" remains the central theme, but the word "Vaillant" is added.
Many Germans know that the Vaillant Bunny belongs to a company based in North Rhine-Westphalia. Moreover: more than 70% of all Germans have heard of the company Vaillant. In Austria and the Netherlands, the company achieves similar results for its image.
