IN-SERIES BOOSTER – REMOTE LOCATION
The pipe work between the solar storage tank and the in-series gas booster has a minimum recommended
pipe size of DN20, MUST BE of copper and be fully insulated with a closed cell type insulation or equivalent
in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4.
The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. The insulation must be fitted up to the
connections on both the solar storage tank and the in-series gas booster. A full flow isolation valve must be
installed on the water line to the in-series gas booster.
GAS INLET
The gas connection is made at the underside of the in-series gas booster. The pipe work must be cleared of
foreign matter before connection and purged before attempting to operate the water heater. An isolation valve
and disconnection union must be installed to allow servicing and removal of the water heater.
Note: Refer to the Gas Installations Standard AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1 for the correct method of sizing the
gas supply pipe to the water heater. The pipe size selection must take into account the high gas input of the
in-series gas booster (refer to table on page 30)
Warning: Always isolate the in-series gas booster before pressure testing the gas supply system.
Disconnect the in-series gas booster after the isolating cock to prevent the risk of serious damage to the gas
control. The Rheem warranty does not cover damage of any nature resulting from failure to observe this
precaution. Refer to rating label for gas types and pressures.
