The Ferroli Bravo 10L Under-Sink (MPN: SN10SVE2.0U) is a 10-litre unvented storage water heater delivering mains-pressure hot water at the point of use. Rated at 2 kW at 240 V with an IPX4 splash-proof rating, it is suited to under-sink installation in bathrooms, cloakrooms, and wet areas where a larger hot-water reserve than a 5-litre unit is required. Compatible with standard and thermostatic mixer taps — unlike vented heaters — the Bravo 10L ships with a reinforced hanging bracket, built-in cable, and 2-year warranty. Note: as an unvented unit, installation requires a G3 accredited competent person.

⚠ G3 Competent Person Required
The Bravo 10L is an unvented water heater. Installation must be carried out by a G3 accredited competent person in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document G3. All electrical connections must be completed by a qualified electrician to current IET Wiring Regulations.

ℹ Under-sink model — confirm orientation before ordering
The SN10SVE2.0U (this listing) is the under-sink variant — cold water enters from below, hot water discharges upward. The SN10SVE2.0 (without the U suffix) is the over-sink model where cold enters from above. Selecting the wrong model will result in incorrect water flow direction. If you are unsure, check with your installer before ordering.

ℹ Unvented — compatible with standard and mixer taps
Because the Bravo 10L is unvented (mains pressure), it can be used with standard shut-off taps and thermostatic mixer taps — no open-outlet spout tap is required. This makes it the right choice where a conventional or thermostatic basin mixer is being fitted alongside the heater.

KEY FEATURES

Unvented — Mains-Pressure Hot Water

As an unvented heater, the Bravo 10L stores water at mains pressure, delivering hot water to the tap at full mains flow rate — no loft tank, no pump. This makes it compatible with thermostatic and pressure-balancing mixer taps that require balanced hot and cold supplies, unlike vented (open-outlet) alternatives.

10 L — Greater Reserve Than a 5L Unit

The 10-litre store provides approximately twice the hot water volume of the Novo 5L, supporting multiple hand-wash cycles or prolonged sink use between element top-ups. This is particularly valuable in busier cloakrooms, accessible toilets with higher footfall, or applications with frequent handwashing demand throughout the day.

IPX4 — Bathroom and Wet-Area Safe

IPX4 splash-proof protection allows installation in bathrooms, cloakrooms, shower rooms, and other wet areas, subject to current IET Wiring Regulations zone requirements. The shockproof ABS outer casing protects internal components from the accidental knocks typical in confined under-sink spaces.

Reinforced Bracket — Secure Wall-Mounting

A reinforced hanging bracket is supplied, allowing the Bravo 10L to be securely wall-mounted inside a vanity unit or directly to a wall under the sink. At 340 × 330 × 300 mm, the unit fits within most standard under-sink cabinet dimensions — measure your cabinet depth and width before ordering to confirm clearance.

Built-in Cable — Adjustable Temperature

A pre-fitted electrical cable (without plug) is included for connection to a dedicated fused spur. A user-adjustable thermostat allows temperature to be set to preference. The rust-free construction and easy-access design facilitate straightforward periodic servicing in the under-sink environment.

Part of the Ferroli Bravo Range

The Bravo range spans 10, 15, and 30 litre capacities, available in both under-sink and over-sink configurations, with element ratings from 2 kW to 3 kW. This allows a consistent Ferroli specification across multiple washroom locations within the same building. Contact us for other Bravo variants and matching open-outlet tap accessories.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the SN10SVE2.0U and the SN10SVE2.0?

The U suffix denotes the under-sink model (this listing) — cold water enters from below and hot water discharges upward to the tap. The SN10SVE2.0 without the U is the over-sink model, where cold enters from above. Both are 10-litre, 2 kW, unvented units, but they are not interchangeable. Installing the wrong orientation will reverse the flow direction. Always confirm the intended installation position before ordering.

Does the Bravo 10L require an open-outlet tap?

No — because the Bravo 10L is an unvented unit, it stores water at mains pressure and does not require an open-outlet swivel spout tap. It is compatible with standard quarter-turn shut-off taps, monobloc basin taps, and thermostatic mixer taps. This is a key advantage over vented heaters such as the Novo range.

Does the Bravo 10L need an expansion vessel?

As an unvented point-of-use heater, the Bravo 10L will require appropriate unvented safety controls to be installed as part of the G3 installation — this typically includes a pressure reducing valve, expansion relief valve, and T&P relief valve to protect the stored water volume. Your G3 competent installer will specify and fit the correct components for your supply conditions. Confirm whether a dedicated G3 kit is supplied with this unit or must be sourced separately.

Can the Bravo 10L be installed in a bathroom?

Yes — the IPX4 splash-proof rating means the Bravo 10L is rated for installation in areas subject to water spray, including bathrooms and en suites, subject to compliance with IET Wiring Regulations zone requirements (BS 7671). Your electrician will confirm the zone classification of the intended installation position and any additional protection requirements such as RCD protection.

How does the Bravo 10L compare to the Novo 5L?

The Bravo 10L and Novo 5L serve similar applications but differ on two critical points. First, capacity: 10 L vs 5 L — the Bravo supports more extended or higher-frequency hand-washing use between top-ups. Second, pressure type: the Bravo 10L is unvented (mains pressure) and works with standard and mixer taps; the Novo 5L is vented (open-outlet) and requires a swivel spout tap but does not need a G3 installer. Choose based on tap type required, installer availability, and usage demand.
