Selecting Installation Location - Takagi GS-20W-AU5 Installation Manual And Owners Manual

SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION
CAREFULLY READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING THE WATER HEATER. WHEN A
LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION HAS BEEN SELECTED, THESE PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED EXACTLY.
• Every care is taken to warn THE PUBLIC AND THE OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING OF
ANY RISK OF INJURY that may occur from falling tools, open trenches, water connec-
tions or any other general hazard.
• Make sure the water heater will have enough combustion air and proper ventilation.
• Keep the area around the water heater clean. Particles may clog the air vent, reduce
fan function, or cause improper combustion.
• Locate unit for easy access and maintain proper space for service and maintenance.
Install the unit so that it can be connected or removed easily.
• The water heater must be installed outdoors only. Do not install the water
heater indoors.
• Do not locate your water heater in a pit or any location where gas and water can accu-
mulate.
• This is a water heating apparatus only and the final quality of water delivered is de-
pendent upon the quality of water supplied to this system.
• Although the water heater is designed to operate with minimal sound, you
should not install the unit on a wall adjacent to a bedroom, or a room that is
intended for quiet study or meditation, etc.
• Locate your heater close to a drain where leakage WILL NOT DAMAGE SURROUND-
ING AREAS. As with any water heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some
time in life of the product does exist.
• Check the proximity of gas & electrical lines so as not to create a hazard and avoid access prob-
lems for other services.
• Heater must be located in accordance with the requirements of AS5601 and have sufficient
clearances from eaves, windows, vents etc. – see the diagram on p. 9.
• "Exemption from Prescribed Statutory Requirement": AS5601 Clause 5.13.6.5. This relates to
the physical separation distance specification where multiple appliances are employed. That
equates to a minimum 150 mm horizontal flue separation distance allowing appliances to be
placed side by side in the same vertical plane.
• Most load bearing walls such as brick, brick/veneer, weatherboard and stud-frames are
suitable locations.
• Securely fasten the unit to the wall with screws or bolts in the top and bottom brackets. A min-
imum of two screws on the top and at the bottom must be used.
