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, and either 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.
This water heater is not suitable for pool heating, or as part of hot water circulation flow and return system, or
as an in-series booster for a solar water heater, and MUST NOT be used for these applications.
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 back-up 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 back-up redundancy
into the hot water supply system.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
The water heater is suitable for outdoor installation only and 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 and gas 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.
If the water heater is fitted on a wall of combustible material, the
wall must be protected by a fire resistant heat shield. Refer to
Shield"
on page 16 for the size and location of the heat shield.
Note: The water heater must be well secured to the wall or frame
using two fasteners at the top and one fastener at the bottom of
the unit (refer to page 18 for
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
