INSTALLATION DETAILS

This water heater must be installed by a licenced tradesperson, and in accordance with

• AS/NZS3500.4.2 “National Plumbing and Drainage Code Hot Water Supply
Systems – Acceptable Solutions” .

• Local authority regulations.

• Outside Australia and New Zealand, please refer to local plumbing and building

codes and regulations.

• Notice to Victorian customers from the Victorian Plumbing Industry Commission
– this water heater must be installed by a licensed person as required by the
Victorian Building Act 1993. Only a licensed person will give you a compliance
certificate, showing that the work complies with all the relevant Standards. Only
a licensed person will have insurance protecting their workmanship for 6 years.
Make sure you use a licensed person to install this water heater and ask for
your Compliance Certificate.

Note: This water heater is not suitable for pool heating.

This water heater is designed for direct connection to water supply pressures of:

• 25 to 160 Litre Models - 1100kPa

• 250 to 400 Litre Models - 800kPa

Where the mains pressure can exceed or fluctuate beyond the pressure shown above, a
pressure limiting device (complying with AS1357) must be fitted in the cold water inlet
supply. This device must be installed after the isolating valve and set at or below the
pressure shown above. Note during periods of lower demand water pressure may
increase.

CAUTION: This water heater delivers hot water at temperatures exceeding 50oC. Refer
to AS/NZS3500 and local regulations regarding the need for additional hot water delivery
temperature control.

LOCATION

The water heater should be located as close as possible to the most frequently used hot
water outlet. Adequate access must be made for service to the element, thermostat, relief
valve and anode. Ensure that the data plate is clearly visible.

Note: All models are equipped with a sacrificial anode, accessible through the top cover.
Allow 50% of the height of the water heater for clearance above to replace the anode.

The water heater has a plastic base which is resistant to water damage but it is
recommended that a plinth be installed under the water heater when the water heater is
subjected to wet conditions. A properly drained overflow tray must be used where property
damage could occur from water spillage. (See AS/NZS3500.4.2 for further details.)

When installing this water heater in a roof area as a mains pressure unit refer to local
regulations.

Note: The warranty does not cover damage due to leakage of the water heater.
