OSO Super Xpress VIP 150L Unvented Direct Hot Water Cylinder Pre-Plumbed

OSO Super Xpress VIP 150L Unvented Direct Hot Water Cylinder Pre-Plumbed

The OSO Super Xpress VIP SX150 is a 150-litre direct electric unvented hot water cylinder with a unique pre-plumbed, pre-wired patented design that conceals all pipework, expansion vessels, valves, and cables under a clean top lid. It is the only direct cylinder with all connections on top — reducing installation time by up to 70% compared to conventional cylinders. Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) technology gives the SX the lowest SAP score of any direct electric cylinder, while the twin 3kW INCOTEC immersion heaters provide dual-tariff electric flexibility and deliver up to 20% more usable hot water than comparable cylinders of the same volume.

Lowest SAP Score of Any Direct Cylinder
The OSO Super Xpress VIP achieves the lowest SAP energy score of any direct electric cylinder — a key benefit for housebuilders and developers under Part L of the Building Regulations. The combination of VIP insulation and the ability to downsize the cylinder (due to 20% more usable capacity) further reduces both heat loss and material cost.
Key Features
🌡️ VIP Vacuum Insulation Panels

OSO's award-winning Vacuum Insulation Panels give the SX150 a standing heat loss of just 47W / 1.13 kWh per day — far below any conventional foam-insulated direct cylinder of the same size. This directly reduces running costs and SAP score.

💧 20% More Usable Hot Water

The SX150 delivers 254 litres of hot water at 40°C delivery temperature (via the blending valve) — approximately 20% more than competitors' 150L cylinders. This allows the use of a smaller cylinder, saving on purchase cost, space, and heat loss simultaneously.

🔧 All-Top Pre-Plumbed Design

Every connection — cold water in, hot water out, both immersion feeds, the mixing valve, T&P valve, and both expansion vessels — is factory-assembled on top of the cylinder. A fitting template is supplied to speed up pipework preparation. Installers report up to 70% time savings over conventional designs.

⚡ Dual Tariff INCOTEC Immersions

Twin 3kW INCOTEC immersion heaters (upper + lower) enable dual tariff operation — the lower element heats the full tank on cheaper off-peak rates, while the upper element provides a rapid top-up boost at any time. Both are compatible with solar PV diverters and smart tariff systems.

📦 Integral Dual Expansion Vessels

Two 6L expansion vessels are factory-fitted inside the top lid — no separate vessel to mount on the wall or pipe in. The flow-through expansion valve minimises pipework to the vessels in accordance with Building Regulations approval, keeping the installation compact.

🔒 ULTRAWELD Stainless Construction

The 1.3mm stainless steel inner vessel is built to OSO's ULTRAWELD standard — superior weld quality for long-term corrosion resistance in all UK water conditions. Backed by a class-leading 25-year tank warranty.

🧺 Washing Machine Footprint Compatible

The SX150 can share a footprint with a washing machine using the optional OSO washing machine frame — a significant space advantage in small utility rooms or kitchen installations where every centimetre counts.

📊 Part L & SAP Compliance

The SX VIP achieves the lowest SAP score of any direct cylinder — a key advantage for housebuilders and developers seeking Building Regulations compliance under Part L. Downsizing the cylinder (enabled by the 20% capacity advantage) further improves the SAP figure.

⚠️ G3 Unvented Installation Required
Must be installed by a G3 registered competent engineer. All work must comply with Building Regulation G3 and Water Regulations. Ensure a minimum 6mm² twin & earth cable is provided for each immersion heater circuit. Do not operate the cylinder empty — fill with water before switching on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the SX150 deliver 254 litres of hot water from a 143-litre tank?
The SX stores water at a high temperature (up to 70°C) and the built-in blending valve mixes it with cold water to deliver at approximately 40°C — the typical shower temperature. Because the stored water is hotter than the delivered temperature, mixing produces more total volume. OSO's design specifically maximises this ratio, giving around 20% more usable water than competitors' cylinders of the same nominal size.
Is the SX150 compatible with a heat pump?
The SX150 is a direct electric cylinder and is not designed as a primary heat pump cylinder. For heat pump installations, OSO recommends the Delta GeoCoil DGC range, which features a large tube heat exchanger optimised for low-temperature heat pump operation. The SX immersion can serve as electric backup in a hybrid system, but it should not be the primary heat source.
Can I use the SX150 with an Economy 7 or off-peak electricity tariff?
Yes — the twin immersion heater configuration is ideal for dual tariff (Economy 7/10) operation. The lower immersion heats the full tank overnight on cheaper off-peak electricity, while the upper element provides a top-up boost during peak hours when needed. This is a cost-effective way to reduce electricity bills for all-electric properties.
Can I connect a solar PV diverter to the SX150?
Yes. Either immersion heater can be connected to a solar PV diverter (e.g. myenergi Eddi, Solic 200, iBoost) — diverting surplus generation into free hot water. The upper immersion is typically used for solar diversion as it heats the top of the tank most quickly, providing usable hot water with minimal delay.
Does the SX150 need to be near a drain for the discharge pipe?
Yes. As an unvented cylinder, the SX150 requires a T&P relief valve discharge pipe (tundish) that discharges safely to an appropriate drain or external location in accordance with G3 Building Regulations. The tundish is included in the integrated G3 kit under the top lid. The discharge must be visible and routed correctly — your G3 engineer will arrange this during installation.
