ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY?
Installation requirements are
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.
In New Zealand, the installation must conform to Clauses G11, G12 and H1 of the New Zealand Building Code.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (864 series) if it is installed as an
in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the
controller setting can be delivered. If a solar water heater has been installed to an existing water heater
installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.
The pipe work between the solar storage tank (if one is installed) and the in-series gas booster has a minimum
recommended pipe size of DN20, MUST BE of copper and be fully insulated 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.
