CONNECTIONS – PLUMBING
GAS INLET
The gas connection is made at the underside of the 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 (refer to the
Note:
Refer to the Gas Installations Standard 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
gas booster (refer to table on page 31)
appliances in the premises.
Warning: Always isolate the gas booster before pressure testing
the gas supply system. Disconnect the 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.
SOLAR 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 fittings.
The solar cold outlet and solar hot inlet connections are located at the top of the solar storage tank.
Notes

It is important not to cross connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the incorrect connections.

The solar cold pipe connects to the bottom of the solar collectors and the solar hot pipe connects to
the top of the solar collectors on the opposite side to both the solar cold pipe connection and the hot
sensor connection.

The solar hot inlet connection is located in the centre of the top of the solar storage tank (the
connection is marked by a label on top of the storage tank).

The solar cold outlet connection is located toward the outer edge of the top of the solar storage tank
(the connection is marked by a label on top of the storage tank).

Connect the solar pipes to the solar storage tank using only the fittings supplied.
To connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the solar storage tank:

Remove the compression nut and olive from the
solar hot inlet fitting at the top of the solar
storage tank. Remove the rubber washer from
the union and discard.

Remove the plastic cap from the solar cold outlet
pipe end at the top of the solar storage tank.

Fit the compression union supplied to the solar
cold outlet pipe end.

Connect the solar cold pipe (flow to the collector)
to the nipple in the solar cold outlet using the
compression nut and olive supplied.

Connect the solar hot pipe (flow from the
collector) to the nipple in the solar hot inlet using
the compression nut and olive supplied.
