INSTALLATION
REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be
insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation
must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.
SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the
water heater jacket, we recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a
maximum length of 13 mm. Should pre drilling be required, extreme caution must
be observed when penetrating the jacket of the water heater.
Note: If the cylinder is damaged as a result of attaching pipe clips or
saddles to the jacket, any resultant faults will not be covered by the Rheem
warranty.
