Hot Water Outlet and Temperature Pressure Relief Valve: Fit the Reducing Bush (R3/4 M x RP1/2 F)
20.
to the hot water outlet.
Screw the temperature pressure relief valve into
the Reducing Bush at the hot water outlet.
Orientate the hot outlet of the temperature
pressure relief valve toward the rear of the tank
and away from the electrical cover. The valve
drain connection on the opposite side of the valve
will be orientated forwards and must be
downward from the horizontal to permit drainage.
The hot water pipe work and drain line from the
temperature pressure relief valve must not be
installed in front of or prevent access to the
electrical cover of the water heater.
Connect the copper hot water supply pipe to the
temperature pressure relief valve using the G½

Insulation of the temperature pressure relief valve: Fit the insulation provided to the TPR valve. Ensure
the lever of the TPR valve is accessible after strapping the insulation.

Protective Film: Peel the protective plastic film from the solar storage tank. The protective plastic will
bake on and deteriorate if exposed to sunlight, reducing the aesthetics of the installation and become
difficult to remove.

Installation Check List: Refer to the
connections and filling the system with water.
Plumbing and Electrical Connections: Refer to
24.
cold water and hot water plumbing and
connection.
Notes:
Penetrations through the roofing material must be:
at the high point of the roof tile or metal sheet;
made neatly and kept as small as practicable;
waterproofed upon installation of the hot and cold pipes.
Exposed pipe work between the solar storage tank and the penetrations through the roofing material
should be kept to a minimum to maintain the aesthetics of the installation.

25.
the closed circuit with the closed circuit fluid.
