INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER
THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY.
THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.
Check the water heater is suitable for the gas type available (refer to the rating label on the water
heater)
INSTALLATION STANDARDS
The water heater must be installed:
by a qualified person, and
in accordance with the installation instructions, and
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local
regulations, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater prior to its installation.
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable
water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or
business, then there should be redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the
continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason.
We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building backup redundancy
into the hot water supply system.
Note: This water heater is not suitable for installation or operation as an in-series gas booster to a solar
water heater, and must not be used for this purpose.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
The water heater should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with
safety and service in mind. Make sure people (particularly children) will not touch the flue terminal. The flue
terminal and air inlet must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.
Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The water heater must be accessible without
the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the entire front panel can be removed for service. You must be
able to read the information on the rating plate. Remember you may have to take the entire water heater out
later for servicing.
This water heater must be installed vertically upright with the
water, gas and power connections on the underside, pointing
toward the ground. The back of the water heater can be
either against a wall or supported by a frame.
Note: The water heater must be well secured to the wall or
frame using two fasteners each at the top and bottom of the
unit (refer to page 21 for
of the water heater). Use the screws provided only if they are
suitable for the wall or frame type. Otherwise select and use
alternative fasteners suitable for the application. The
fasteners must be capable of bearing the full weight of the
water heater so it may not work loose 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
or frame type and load bearing requirements.
