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
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 33)
other gas appliances in the premises.
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.
TEMPERATURE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The temperature pressure relief valve is shipped behind the lower front cover of the water heater. The
temperature pressure relief valve must be fitted before the water heater is operated. Before fitting the relief
valve, make sure the probe has not been bent.
To fit the relief valve:
•
Seal the thread with an approved thread sealant such as Teflon tape - never hemp. Make sure tape does
not hang over the end of the thread.
•
Hand tighten the valve into the opening marked "Relief Valve" (refer to the
page 34)).
•
Using a spanner engaged on the valve's spanner flats and applying medium pressure to tighten, turn the
relief valve an additional ½ to 1 ½ turns to secure and make the joint water tight, leaving the valve drain
pointing downwards.
Warning: Do not use a pipe wrench or poor fitting tool on the valve body nor over tighten the valve,
as this could damage the valve and prevent safe operation.
