Water Supply Connection; Overflow / Vent Connection Importance - Rheem 701 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

WALL PLATE 3 AND 5 LITRE 701 SERIES
3 & 5 litre 701 Series have a wall plate supplied to allow fixing of the new BWU
utilising the existing Lazer or Zip fixings. The wall plate has been pre-drilled so that
the holes in the wall plate are located where the original mounting points were for the
Lazer or Zip BWU‟s. Once the wall plate has been secured to the wall, the new BWU
is easily mounted on to the wall plate by means of two hooks that locate into two
elongated slots in the BWU back plate it. To prevent the BWU lifting off the wall
plate, using a 6mm flat blade screwdriver, bend the tab on the BWU back plate
outward 8-9mm prior to fitting the BWU to the wall plate. See page 28 for Wall Plate
Dimensions.
WARNING
Before drilling into the wall make sure that the screw positions avoid any pipe-work
or electrical cables. Allow 4 mm clearance between the screw head and the wall
for locating the unit.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Cold mains pressure water (refer to Specifications on page 27) for minimum water
pressures) must be piped and connected to the ½" BSP inlet fitting located on the left
hand side underneath the unit. An accessible isolating valve must be installed near
the unit. This unit contains an inlet strainer on the water inlet connection (refer to
figure 1 below). For rear entry connection on 3-10 Litre models, we recommend that
you use prefabricate pipework for ease of connection.

OVERFLOW / VENT CONNECTION IMPORTANCE

Connect a 15 mm (½") pipe to the overflow/vent connection (½"BSP nipple).This
pipe is to be made of a material such that continuous steam will not degrade it (i.e.
