Installation - Rheem Water Star Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING
The Water Star has been designed to be installed with a continuous flow gas
water heater.
The Water Star water heater must not be installed with a continuous flow
water heater that is rated to deliver temperatures not exceeding 50°C in
accordance with AS 3498.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to a continuous flow
water heater when a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a
temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a Water
Star is installed to an existing continuous flow water heater installation, then all
controllers must be disconnected and removed.
The installation must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4,
AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New
Zealand, the installation must conform with the New Zealand Building Code.
All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater prior to its

installation.

WATER HEATER LOCATION
This water heater is suitable for either outdoor or indoor installation. Whether
located outdoor or indoor, the Water Star should be installed as close as
practicable to the continuous flow water heater and its position chosen with
safety and service in mind.
The maximum allowable length of pipe work between the Water Star and the
continuous flow water heater is:
5 metres of DN20 pipe, or
10 metres of DN15 pipe
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 cover
over the temperature pressure relief valve lever is accessible and the front
cover, thermostat, heating unit and temperature limiting valve 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.
A clear distance of at least 200 mm must be left either side of the water heater
to allow the removal of the screws securing the front cover.
