Mains pressure water supply
The water heater is designed to operate at mains pressure by connecting directly to the mains water supply.
The water heater is supplied with a temperature pressure relief valve with a pressure rating of 850 kPa and an
expansion control valve with a pressure rating of 700 kPa.
The maximum mains water supply pressure for the water heater is 680 kPa when an expansion control valve
is installed. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds this value, a pressure limiting valve must be
installed.
The supply pressure should be greater than 350 kPa for true mains pressure operation to be achieved.
