ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
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.
MODEL TYPE
®
The Rheem
water heater model you have
chosen is suitable for outdoor installation only.
®
The model is a 347 series Rheemglas
4 star
gas water heater.
Water is stored in a vitreous enamel lined steel
cylinder and heated by a gas burner located
under the cylinder. The heat produced by the
burner is transferred to the water through the
base of the cylinder and through the wall of a
flue pipe which passes through the centre of
the cylinder. A flue baffle in this flue ensures
the efficiency of the water heater is correct. The
gas supply to the burner is controlled by the
thermostat so the water is heated to a constant
temperature.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water
maximum thermostat
heater to provide safe and efficient operation.

Plumbing Standard the temperature of the
stored water must not be below 60°C.
Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the
growth of Legionella bacteria in potable water. This water heater can satisfy this
AS 3498 requirement provided it is operating and the thermostat setting is 60°C
or higher, including when it is used as an in-series booster water heater for a
solar water heater.
