INSTALLATION
WALL BRACKET
It is recommended to secure the water heater to the wall. The top of the unit is
to be secured to the wall (or screen) with the wall bracket provided using
fasteners suitable for the wall type and application.
The fasteners must be capable of bearing the weight of the water heater so it
may neither work loose, pull away from the wall nor impose any load on the gas
and water pipe work connected to the water heater. Refer to the fastener
manufacturer's information and recommendations for the type of fastener to use
for the wall type and load bearing requirements.
To fit the wall bracket:
•
Position the bracket against the wall,
ensuring the bracket is centred at the
rear of the water heater top, and mark
the fixing points on the wall where the
bracket is to be secured.
•
Drill holes in the wall to receive
suitable fasteners for the wall bracket.
•
Fix the wall bracket to the wall using
suitable fasteners.
•
Secure the bracket to the top of the
water heater using the self-tapping
screws provided.
ANODE
The vitreous enamel lined cylinder of the water heater is covered by the Rheem
warranty when the total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is less than
2500 mg/L and when the correct colour coded anode is used. If an incorrect
colour coded anode is used in the water heater, any resultant faults will not be
covered by the Rheem warranty. In addition, the use of an incorrect colour coded
anode may shorten the life of the water heater cylinder.
The correct colour coded anode for the water supply being used must be
selected and fitted to the water heater for the Rheem warranty to apply to the
water heater cylinder (refer to
Selection table
on page 19). The black anode is typically fitted as standard.
If an incorrect anode is used, there is also the possibility the anode may become
overactive and hydrogen gas could accumulate in the top of the water heater
during long periods of no use. In areas where this is likely to occur, the installer
should instruct the householder on how to dissipate the gas safely (refer to
"Caution"
on page 20).
