WATER INLET AND OUTLET
All pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before
connection and purged before attempting to operate the
water heater. All olive compression fittings must use brass
or copper olives. Use an approved thread sealant such as
Teflon tape on all sealing threads.
An isolation valve and non-return valve must be installed on
the cold water line to the water heater. An acceptable
arrangement is shown in the diagram
multiple installations. Refer also to
page 21.
A disconnection union must always be provided at the cold
water inlet and hot water outlet on the water heater to allow
for disconnection of the water heater.
This water heater has a dip tube in the inlet fittings and the
outlet fittings. This must be in place for the water heater to
function properly. Do not remove or damage them by using
heat nearby. It will be pushed into the correct position as the
fitting is screwed in in the inlet and outlet fittings (see
diagram). These must be in place for the water heater to
function properly.
This water heater is intended to be permanently connected
to the water mains and not connected by a hose-set. A
braided flexible hose or semi-flexible connector may be
used for connection to the water heater, where permitted by AS/NZS 3500.4.
PIPE SIZES
To achieve true mains pressure operation, the cold water line to the water heater should be the same size or
bigger than the hot water line from the water heater.
The pipe sizing for hot water supply systems should be carried out by persons competent to do so, choosing
the most suitable pipe size for each individual application. Reference to the technical specifications of the water
heater and local regulatory authority requirements must be made.
