See Figure 4. A.O. Smith water heaters are tested to a maximum pressure of 12 bar and a maximum working pressure of 8 bar. Figure 4 - Connection diagram (unvented system) Manual gas valve Stop valve Expansion vessel T&P safety valve...
2.1.3 Gas connection The gas supply to this appliance must be installed in accordance with BS 6891 (1988). Fit the 1/2" gas supply cock supplied with this unit immediately before the gas control block. No heat or soldered joints should be applied in the vicinity of the gas control block, as they could cause damage to the control.
Commissioning 2.2.1 Filling the water heater 1. Close the drain tap. 2. Open the cold water tap to the water heater and open all taps where hot water can be drained for de- aeration. The water heater is filled as soon as cold water flows from all taps.
2.2.3 Removing and replacing the inner door (only for the EQ 115/155 models, see Figure 7a). Procedure: 1. Place lip A through the recess on the right and subsequently slide it down behind the steel wall. See to it that both lower lips remain in front of the metal wall.
recommended to also close the cold water tap and to drain the appliance after cooling (open the drain tap; it is possible to connect a drain hose to the drain tap; open the nearest hot water drain point to prevent air locks).
Setting the nominal heat input The gas control has been factory preset to the water heater nominal heat input. A further check of the burner pressure should be carried out during the commissioning of the unit after installation. The following procedure should be followed.

Description Inlet pressure Burner pressure Diameter main injector Diameter pilot injector Description Inlet pressure Burner pressure Diameter main injector Diameter pilot injector Procedure: 1. Close the main gas tap in the gas supply. 2. Demount the burner (see “Cleaning”). 3. Replace the injector of the main burner and the pilot burner with the correct injectors from the conversion set (see tables above).
Figure 10 - Conversion to another gas 4.b Conversion from LP-gas to natural gas: - Put the pressure regulator into operation. To do this the temperature regulating knob should be pulled straight forward. Next the red plastic cover that is now visible, should be removed.
2.8.2 Cleaning 1. Close the gas supply and demount the burner after it has cooled down, 2. Disconnect the burner, pilot pipe and thermo couple from the gas control block (see Figure 11), 3. Remove the complete burner assembly, 4. Clean the burner with a soft brush. 5.
2.10 Fault finding In case of failure the following should be checked. 2.10.1 Safety thermostat All appliances have been fitted with a safety thermostat that shuts off the gas supply when the water temperature is too high. The safety thermostat remains activated until the water temperature drops below the safety temperature.
FOR THE USER Commissioning Warning Installing and commissioning (for the first time) of this water heater should only be carried out by a qualified competent heating engineer. 3.1.1 Filling the water heater 1. Close the drain tap. 2. Open the cold water tap to the water heater and open all taps where hot water can be drained for de- aeration.
and tilted slightly in the direction of the drain tap. 3.1.5 Maintenance The inlet combination has to be tested regularly by relieving it (via the relief button). The water has to flow out in a forceful jet. Check whether the discharge pipe is open.
