Rheem Gas Heavy Duty Water Heater Models 265 Litre and 275 Litre Installation And Owner's Instructions page 38

GAS INLET PRESSURE
IMPORTANT – CHECK the gas supply pressure at the inlet to the water heater
with the water heater and all other gas burning appliances in the premises
operating (burners alight). The minimum gas supply pressures are:
Natural Gas
Town / TLP
If this minimum cannot be achieved, it may indicate the meter or the gas line to
the water heater is undersized. It is important to ensure that an adequate gas
supply pressure is available to the water heater when other gas burning
appliances, on the same gas supply, are operating.
TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater on completion of the installation,
such as on a building site or where the premises is vacant, then:
•
Switch off the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the water heater(s).
•
Close the gas isolation valve(s) at the inlet to the gas control(s).
•
Close the cold water isolation valve on the cold water line to the water
heater(s) to shut down the entire system, or;
