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® continuous flow gas water heater model you have chosen is for indoor installation only. This model has an extended manufacturer‟s warranty (refer to the Rheem warranty on page 99).

The water heater has a maximum preset outlet temperature setting of:

864 series 75°C 866 series 50°C

Notes:

The 866 series water heater is marked “THIS APPLIANCE DELIVERS WATER NOT EXCEEDING 50°C

IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3498” on the front panel. This model;  must not be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature

greater than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.

 must not be installed with a Water Star water heater as water

temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the system.

The 864 series water heater may be installed as an in-series gas

booster to a solar water heater. For information relating to the function

and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner‟s Guide

and Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.

When installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, the

864 series water heater:  can deliver water at temperatures up to 70°C to 80°C for a

Premier Loline and Loline pumped system and a Hiline thermosiphon system and possibly higher temperatures from a Premier Hiline thermosiphon system.

 during periods of low solar energy gain, will boost the water

temperature automatically to its preset outlet temperature setting.

WATER HEATER OPERATION

The water heater operates automatically, heating water as it passes through the water heater. When a hot tap is opened, the gas burners ignite to provide immediate heating of the water. The heat produced by the burner is transferred to the water through the heat exchanger. The water is heated to a constant temperature by the automatic adjustment of the gas supply to the burner to suit the water flow rate (refer to “Temperature

Control” on pages 11 to 40). The gas burners extinguish when the hot tap is closed.

Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and efficient operation.

GAS BOOSTING FOR A SOLAR WATER HEATER

Water stored in the solar storage tank passes through the in-series gas booster when a hot tap is opened. The in-series gas booster is for heating water at times of low solar energy gain, such as during cloudy or rainy weather, or during colder months.

Solar heated water can reach temperatures up to 70°C to 80°C for a Premier Loline and Loline pumped system and a Hiline thermosiphon system and possibly higher for a Premier Hiline thermosiphon system. The in-series gas booster operates automatically. When the solar heated water temperature is 58°C or higher, the flow passes through the in-series gas booster without boosting. When the solar heated water temperature is below 58°C, the in-series gas booster heats the water to its preset outlet temperature setting.

MAINS PRESSURE

The water heater is designed for direct connection to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds that shown on page 47, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The supply pressure should be greater than 140 kPa for the rated flow and performance to be achieved.

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The water heater may be installed with one or more user adjustable temperature controllers, which allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your hot water needs (refer to “Temperature Control” on page 11).

If a controller is not installed, the water heater heats the water to the preset outlet temperature setting. The factory preset outlet temperature setting is:

864 series 60°C 866 series 50°C

Note: The preset outlet temperature setting of this water

heater cannot be adjusted by the householder. The setting can only be adjusted by the installer, Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.

Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy this AS 3498 requirement provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C or higher, and that a remote temperature controller is not used.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (864 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

If this water heater is installed as part of a solar water heater system, the system can deliver water at temperatures from 58°C up to 80°C and possibly higher depending upon the model of solar water heater installed.

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.

We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when an 864 series water heater is installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will be reduced and if no controllers are installed and the preset outlet temperature setting has not been adjusted below 55°C or if a Kitchen controller is installed, still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.

An 866 series water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50°C, in accordance with AS 3498. There is no requirement in AS/NZS 3500.4 to fit a temperature limiting device if this water heater is installed in other than an early childhood centre, school, nursing home or a facility for young, aged, sick or disabled people.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

CONTROLLERS

The Rheem 864 and 866 series can be installed with Rheem controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater. There are two families of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard controllers and the Deluxe controllers.

Standard Controllers

There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853), Bathroom1 controller (Rheem PN 299854) and the Bathroom2 controller (Rheem PN 299855). The standard controllers are suitable for use on all 864 and 866 series models.

The standard controllers are identified by a „K‟ (Kitchen controller), „B1‟ (Bathroom1 controller) or „B2‟ (Bathroom2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.

Deluxe Controllers

There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller (Rheem PN 299861), Bathroom1 Deluxe controller (Rheem PN 299862) and the Bathroom2 Deluxe controller (Rheem PN 299863).

The Deluxe controllers are identified by a „K‟ (Kitchen Deluxe controller), „B1‟ (Bathroom1 Deluxe controller)

or „B2‟ (Bathroom2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent

to the BATH FILL VOLUME label. The Deluxe controllers offer additional functions to the standard controllers. These are:

An assistance call function, which provides a voice prompt when pressed and will sound on all

controllers. This is useful should a family member require assistance when in the bathroom.

A Bath Fill mode, which is designed to allow the water heater to deliver a selected volume of water at a

selected temperature. Bath filling takes place when the hot tap is opened. When the set volume has been delivered, the water flow from the water heater ceases. Refer to “Bath Fill Mode” on page 32.

Note: The bath level should be monitored periodically while this function is in use to avoid the possibility of the bath overflowing. The Bath Fill mode should also be used with caution until you are familiar with its operation.

Warning: Baths should not be left unattended whenever young children are present.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (864 series) if it is installed as

an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

Notes:

Where more than one controller is installed, the second or third controller must be of the same family. A standard controller can only be installed with another standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller

can only be installed with another Deluxe controller(s). A standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller(s) cannot be connected to the same water heater.

One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to

the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water heater.

A Bathroom2 controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 controller is installed and a Bathroom2

Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 Deluxe controller is installed.

Other manufacturers‟ controllers are not suitable to and cannot be installed with this water heater.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS – STANDARD CONTROLLER

The temperature settings of each type of controller are:

Bathroom1 & 2 37°C to 48°C (in 1°C increments), 50°C Kitchen 37°C to 48°C (in 1°C increments), 50°C*, 55°C, 60°C

* limited to 50°C on an 866 series model.

The installation of a Bathroom controller(s) only (i.e. no Kitchen controller) limits the temperature setting of the water heater to a maximum of:

864 series 50°C 866 series 50°C

regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater. The installation of a Kitchen controller will allow a maximum temperature setting of:

864 series 60°C 866 series 50°C

regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater. If controllers are not installed, the water heater defaults to the preset outlet temperature setting. This may be

up to:

864 series 75°C 866 series 50°C

Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 5. On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device such as a tempering valve and where an 864 series

water heater is installed without a separate untempered hot water line to the kitchen, laundry or other nonablution area, although the Kitchen controller will be able to display temperatures above 50°C and the water leaving the water heater will be at the set temperature, the maximum water temperature which can be delivered to the hot water outlets in these locations is determined by the temperature setting of the temperature limiting device. This is usually 50°C.

On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device set to 50°C, to enable the delivery of water temperatures above 50°C to the kitchen, laundry or other non-ablution area, separate untempered pipe work must be installed from the water heater to the hot water outlets in these locations.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL – STANDARD

BATHROOM CONTROLLERS – STANDARD

The Bathroom controller(s) allows the user to select the temperature setting for the hot water to be used in the bathroom. They have a minimum temperature setting of 37°C and a maximum temperature setting of:

864 series 50°C 866 series 50°C

The Bathroom controllers operate in tandem. Whenever an operation is selected on one Bathroom controller, it is also set on the other Bathroom controller. The Bathroom controllers automatically have priority if they are on.

Important: It is important to turn on the Bathroom controller before opening a hot tap in the bathroom (priority is automatically gained). If the Bathroom controller is not on and the Kitchen controller is on (has priority), then it is possible to receive water at a temperature higher than expected from a hot tap in the bathroom. This temperature could be up to:

864 series 50°C if a temperature limiting device is installed in the hot pipe to the

bathroom or up to 60°C if a temperature limiting device is not installed.

866 series 50°C

Notes on the Bathroom controllers:

The controller cannot be turned on whilst a hot tap is open. When a Bathroom controller is turned on, it gains priority from the Kitchen controller. The Bathroom controller must be on in order to adjust the temperature setting on the Bathroom

controller.

The Kitchen controller can be turned off from a Bathroom controller.

 Press and hold the on / off button on a Bathroom controller for three seconds.

This turns off all the controllers and the displays go blank. If hot water is flowing from a hot tap, it will go cold.

Warning: It is advised to leave the Bathroom controller on after hot water usage is finished in the

bathroom. Turning off a controller in one bathroom will also turn off the controller in the other bathroom. The Kitchen controller will gain priority if it is on and the temperature setting can be up to:

 864 series 60°C  866 series 50°C

If a hot tap is open in another bathroom, the water will be delivered at this temperature.

WATER VOLUME FUNCTION – STANDARD CONTROLLER

The water volume function is designed to warn, by a beeping sound, that a certain volume of water has been delivered from the water heater. It does not stop either the flow of or the heating of water. This function is particularly useful if a bath is being filled, or measuring the water consumed by the use of a shower.

The water volume function can only be set by the Kitchen controller. Refer to the notes on the water volume

function on page 21.

To operate the water volume alarm:

1. Turn on the water volume alarm

 Press the water volume button.

The water volume operating light will glow. The current set water volume (in litres divided by 10) will

be displayed and the x10l indicator will also glow. E.g. the factory preset water volume of 180 litres is

shown as 18 x10l.

2. Adjust the water volume setting (if necessary)

 To adjust the water volume setting, press the

up () button to increase the water volume or the down () button to decrease the water volume.

Each press of the up () button or down () button will change the water volume setting by 10 litres.

Pressing the up () button or down () button continuously will scroll the water volume setting.

Fifteen seconds after the water volume has been selected, the water volume operating light will start to flash and the selected water volume is set.

The water volume operating light will continue to flash until the alarm sounds.

A maximum of 500 litres (50 and x10l displayed) and a minimum of 10 litres (1 and x10l displayed) can be set

with the water volume alarm.

3. Set the water temperature

 Turn on the controller for the room where the hot water

is to be used.

 Gain priority (if using the Kitchen controller).  Select the temperature setting.

4. Open the hot tap

The in use light will glow on all controllers. Measurement of the water flow at the water heater will

commence when a hot tap is open and the water volume operating light is flashing.

The alarm will sound when the set volume of water has passed through the water heater.

 Refer to the warning in the notes on page 18.

If it is the Kitchen controller which is in use and has priority, then it is advised to turn the controller off.

 Refer to Important note for Bathroom controllers on

page 18.

Notes on the water volume function:

TEMPERATURE CONTROL – STANDARD

The water volume can only be set by the Kitchen controller. The Kitchen controller does not require priority nor to be on in order to set the water volume function. The water volume function can be set whilst a hot tap is open. The water volume alarm will only sound from the Kitchen controller. The water volume alarm will still sound if the Kitchen controller has been silenced (refer to “Silencing A

Controller” on page 13).

The factory preset water volume is 180 litres. If a hot tap is not opened for one hour after the new water volume has been set, then the setting will be

automatically cancelled. The water volume resets to the previously set water volume (or the factory preset water volume if no water volume has previously been set).

To display the remaining water volume while water is being drawn, press the water volume button. After

a few seconds, the display returns to the temperature setting.

To turn off the water volume function before the alarm sounds, press the water volume button twice. The water volume is measured as the water flows through the water heater. Therefore if more than one

hot tap is open, the alarm will respond to the total water volume drawn from all taps and the expected water volume from the first tap will be decreased.

If the hot tap is closed before the set water volume flows through the water heater and the water volume

button is left on, then the alarm will sound when the remaining water volume is consumed during a later operation. To prevent the alarm from sounding, press the water volume button twice to turn it off.

Adjusting the Volume of the Voice Prompt and Operating Tone

The volume of the voice prompt and the operating tone can be adjusted to a level comfortable for you. The volume of the voice prompt and the operating tone can be adjusted independently of each other. The volume levels on a Deluxe controller are adjusted independently of another Deluxe controller.

The voice prompt and / or operating tone can also be turned off on an individual or all Deluxe controllers so they do not sound at all.

The factory default volume setting of both the voice prompt and operating tone is medium [med]. If there is an interruption to the water heater power supply, the volume of both the voice prompt and operating tone returns to the default setting.

When adjusting the volume levels, the operating tone volume level is indicated by a chime, followed by the voice prompt volume level which is indicated by two beeps. If during the volume setting procedure only the chime is audible, this indicates the voice prompt is off. If during the volume setting procedure only the two beeps is audible, this indicates the operating tone is off.

To adjust or turn off the volume for the voice prompt and operating tone:

Turn off all Deluxe controllers. Press and hold the up () button, then within four (4) seconds press the ON / OFF button.

Each press of the ON / OFF button will change the voice prompt and operating tone in the following sequence:

 operating tone [MAX], voice prompt [OFF]  operating tone [MIN], voice prompt [MIN]  operating tone [MIN], voice prompt [OFF]  operating tone [OFF], voice prompt [OFF]  operating tone [MAX], voice prompt [MAX]  operating tone [MED], voice prompt [OFF]  operating tone [MED], voice prompt [MED]

This order then repeats. Note: If the ON / OFF button is not pressed within four (4) seconds of the up () button being pressed,

“CL” will start flashing on the temperature display panel. If this occurs, release the up () button and recommence the procedure.

ASSISTANCE CALL FUNCTION

A Deluxe controller has an assistance call button. Should assistance be required, such as when in the bathroom, a voice prompt will sound on all Deluxe controllers to notify others that assistance is required.

The Deluxe controller does not have to be on for the assistance call function to be activated and the function can be activated during any operation.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS – DELUXE CONTROLLERS

The temperature settings of each type of Deluxe controller are:

Bathroom1 & 2 Deluxe 37°C to 48°C* (in 1°C increments), 50°C Kitchen Deluxe 37°C to 48°C* (in 1°C increments), 50°C**, 55°C, 60°C

* limited to 48°C when set to Bath Fill mode on 864 and 866 series model. ** limited to 50°C on an 866 series model.

The installation of a Bathroom Deluxe controller(s) only (i.e. no Kitchen Deluxe controller) limits the temperature setting of the water heater to a maximum of:

864 series 50°C 866 series 50°C

regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater. The installation of a Kitchen Deluxe controller will allow a maximum temperature setting of:

864 series 60°C 866 series 50°C

regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater. If Deluxe or standard controllers are not installed, the water heater defaults to the preset outlet temperature

setting. This may be up to:

864 series 75°C 866 series 50°C

Refer to “How Hot Should The Water Be?” on page 5. On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device such as a tempering valve and where an 864 series

water heater is installed without a separate untempered hot water line to the kitchen, laundry or other nonablution area, although the Kitchen Deluxe controller will be able to display temperatures above 50°C and the water leaving the water heater will be at the set temperature, the maximum water temperature which can be delivered to the hot water outlets in these locations is determined by the temperature setting of the temperature limiting device. This is usually 50°C.

The Bath Fill mode commences when the BATH FILL button is on and a hot tap is opened. When the set volume has been delivered, the water flow from the water heater ceases and heating stops. It is also useful for controlling the water volume used by a shower or other application.

Note: The bath level should be monitored periodically while this function is in use to avoid the possibility of the bath overflowing. The Bath Fill mode should be used with caution until you are familiar with its operation.

Warning: Baths should not be left unattended whenever young children are present. After using the bath fill function, check the water temperature before entering a bath, to ensure it is suitable and will not cause scald injury.

The Bath Fill mode can be set and turned off at any of the Deluxe controllers. Refer to the notes on page 38.

This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the Rheem warranty.

This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water supplies. However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on the water heater and its operation and / or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry, you may be able to obtain information from your local water supply authority. This water heater should only be connected to a water supply which complies with these guidelines for the Rheem warranty to apply.

CHANGE OF WATER SUPPLY

The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a detrimental effect on the operation and / or life expectation of a heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, e.g., a rainwater tank supply, bore water supply, desalinated water supply, public reticulated water supply or water brought in from another supply, then water chemistry information should be sought from the supplier or it should be tested to ensure the water supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Rheem warranty to apply.

SATURATION INDEX

The saturation index (SI) is used as a measure of the water‟s corrosive or scaling properties. In a corrosive water supply, the water can attack copper parts and cause them to fail. Where the saturation

index is less than –1.0, the water is very corrosive and the Rheem warranty does not apply to a copper heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

In a scaling water supply calcium carbonate is deposited out of the water onto any hot metallic surface. Where the saturation index exceeds +0.80, the Rheem warranty does not apply to a copper heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

Water which is scaling may be treated with a water softening device to reduce the saturation index of the water.

Refer to the Saturation Index chart on page 41.

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault, which is not related to manufacture or failure of a part (refer to “Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on page 99).

NO DISPLAY ON THE CONTROLLER

Is the controller turned on?

Press the on / off button (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40).

Is the water heater plugged in and the power outlet switched on? Is power available in the house?

Try using another electrical appliance.

COLD WATER FROM THE HOT TAP

Is the controller turned on?

Press the on / off button (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40).

Close the hot tap, wait 10 seconds and open the hot tap again. Is the hot tap open enough?

The burners will not light if the flow rate is less than 2.0 L / min.

Is the water heater plugged in and the power outlet switched on? Is power available in the house?

Try using another electrical appliance.

Is the isolation valve in the gas line open? Is there a gas supply to the rest of the house?

Try lighting another gas appliance.

Has the gas line been purged of air after installation?

Refer to your plumber.

WATER IS TOO HOT OR NOT HOT ENOUGH

Does the controller you are using have priority? (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40)

Note: For an 866 series water heater, 50°C is the maximum available temperature setting.

NO WATER FROM THE HOT TAP

No flow of water from the hot tap may indicate a restriction in or failure of the cold water supply to the water heater. Check for water flow at other taps and that the cold water isolation valve (refer to page 57) is fully open.

WATER FLOW FLUCTUATES

More than two or three taps in use at the same time may cause a decrease in the hot water flow from the taps. This can also be evident if the water heater has been installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater and the solar heated water is at a low temperature.

Are there more than two or three taps open, or are appliances such as a dishwasher or washing

machine, in use at the same time? Ensure only two or three taps or appliances are on at the one time.

Check the flow of the water from one tap, e.g., the shower.

The shower should be adjusted so the hot tap is fully open.

Page 43

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

GAS BOOSTER OPERATING TOO FREQUENTLY

If the water heater is installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, you may find that the water heater operates more frequently than expected. This will occur when the solar heated water temperature is lower than 58°C, which may be experienced during periods of low solar energy gain or if there has been heavy hot water usage. Factors to consider are:

Hot tap not used recently

If a hot tap has not been used for a while, the water in the pipe work between the solar storage tank and the in-series gas booster may have cooled down. The in-series gas booster will sense the cooler water and this will cause the burners on the water heater to ignite and boost the water temperature when a hot tap is first turned on. The burners will extinguish when solar preheated water of 58°C or higher from the solar storage tank reaches the in-series gas booster (refer also to “Fan Continues to Run after Water

Heater Operation Stops” on page 43).

Insufficient sunlight

Insufficient sunlight due to cloudy weather during hotter months or low solar energy contribution in colder months may mean the in-series gas booster operates more often.

Collectors shaded

If trees or other objects shade the solar collectors or if the glass is dirty, the effectiveness of the solar collectors will be greatly reduced. Have the trees trimmed or the solar collectors relocated if the obstruction is permanent or clean the collector glass.

Ensure the glass on your solar collectors is free of dust, salt spray or any other matter, which may reduce the effectiveness of the solar collectors. If the collector glass becomes dirty, hose down or if the solar collectors are accessible, wash the collector glass with water and a soft brush when the solar collectors are cool.

Collector area is too small

For most installations, the number of solar collectors recommended in Rheem literature has been proven to provide the required solar energy to meet the average family needs. However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to install an additional solar collector.

Are you using more hot water than you think?

Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think? Very often it is not realised the amount of hot water used, particularly when showering. Carefully review

the family‟s hot water usage. As you have installed an energy saving appliance, energy saving should

also be practised in the home. Adjust your water usage pattern to take advantage of maximum solar gains.

Have your plumber install a flow control valve to each shower outlet, basin and sink to reduce water usage.

Water heater size

Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements? The sizing guide in the sales literature and on the Rheem website (www.rheem.com.au) suggests

average sizes that may be needed.

FAN CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER WATER HEATER OPERATION STOPS

It is the normal operation of the water heater for the fan to continue running after heating of the water is finished. The fan may run for up to six minutes after the burners extinguish, to prepare for the next ignition.

SMELL OF FLUE GASES

The flue system may incorporate a condensate drain and condensate trap. A condensate trap must be filled with water to prevent the escape of flue gases. If the water has evaporated flue gases may escape.

Remove the clamp securing the hose of the condensate trap to the spigot on the flue outlet. Remove the hose from the spigot and fill the condensate trap with water. Reconnect the hose to the spigot. Ensure the hose is not kinked when reconnected.

Page 44

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

CLOUDS OF WHITE ‘VAPOUR’ FROM THE FLUE TERMINAL

During the heating cycle, it is not unusual to see water vapour clouds steaming from the flue terminal, particularly on cold days. This is normal operation of the water heater.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGING

A pressure relief valve is incorporated into the water heater controls. This valve protects the water heater, by allowing water to escape, in the event of excessive pressure build up in the waterways.

Normal operation

A small volume of water may discharge from the bottom of the water heater when a hot tap is suddenly closed.

Continuous dribble

A continuous dribble may indicate the water supply pressure is above the design pressure for the water heater. If so, a pressure limiting valve must be installed on the cold water supply pipe to the water heater (refer to “Mains Water Supply” on page 47).

ERROR CODE

The water heater provides a diagnostic error code in the event of an interruption to its operation. The error code is displayed on the controller(s) (if installed) and on the OK MONITOR on the front of the water heater as a numerical value. If an error code appears:

Close the hot tap, turn off the controller(s) and switch off the

electrical supply to the water heater.

Check the gas isolation valve at the gas inlet to the water heater is

fully open.

Wait 5 minutes, then switch on the electrical supply to the water

heater, turn on a controller and open a hot tap.

If the error code persists, take note of the numerical code, turn off the hot tap and turn off the controller(s). Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for inspection.

HIGHER THAN EXPECTED GAS BILLS

Should you at any time, feel your gas account is too high, we suggest you check the following points:

Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than

you think?

Carefully review the family‟s hot water usage. Inexpensive flow

control valves can be easily fitted to the shower outlets to reduce water usage.

Is the in-series gas booster operating too frequently?

Refer to “Gas Booster Operating Too Frequently” on page 43.

Has there been an increase in hot water usage?

An increase in hot water usage will result in an increase in water heater operation.

Has your water heating tariff rate been increased by your gas retailer since your previous account?

IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, PHONE RHEEM SERVICE OR THEIR NEAREST ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.

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.

If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or business, then there should be redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason. We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building backup redundancy into the hot water supply system.

The 864 series of water heater may be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater. For

information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner‟s Guide and

Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater. Note: The 866 series water heater is marked “THIS APPLIANCE DELIVERS WATER NOT EXCEEDING

50°C IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3498” on the front panel. This model;

must not be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature greater

than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.

must not be installed with a Water Star water heater as water temperature greater than 50°C can be

delivered from the system.

WATER HEATER LOCATION

The water heater should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind. If this water heater is part of a solar water heater system, it should also be installed close to the solar storage tank. Make sure people (particularly children) will not touch the flue outlet. The flue outlet and air inlet must be clear of obstructions.

Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The water heater must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the entire front panel can be removed for service. You must be able to read the information on the rating plate. Remember you may have to take the entire water heater out later for servicing.

There are also special requirements in AS 5601 and AS/NZS 5601.1 for water heaters installed in a garage, an enclosed space and other locations. Remember all local authorities have regulations about putting water heaters into roof spaces.

Page 46

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

This water heater must be installed vertically upright with the water, gas and power connections on the underside, pointing toward the floor. The back of the water heater can be either against a wall or supported by a frame.

Note: The water heater must be well secured to the wall or frame using two fasteners each at the top and bottom of the unit (refer to page 53 for mounting hole positions and weight of the water heater). Use the screws provided only if they are suitable for the wall or frame type. Otherwise select and use alternative fasteners suitable for the application. The fasteners must be capable of bearing the full weight of the water heater so it may not work loose nor impose any load on the gas and water pipe work connected to the water heater. Refer to the fastener manufacturer‟s information and recommendations for the type of fastener to use for the wall or frame type and load bearing requirements.

For a single water heater installation, refer to the typical installation diagram on page 56. For a dual water heater installation using the Ez-Link system, refer to “Ez-Link System Dual Installation” on

page 77 and the typical installation diagram on page 81. The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere where chemicals are stored or

where aerosol propellants are released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes through a flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the water heater.

VENTILATION

This water heater is to be installed with a Rheem coaxial flue system. The kit enables a room sealed installation, drawing air for combustion from outside of the building.

The ventilation of a room or an enclosure such as a cupboard, where the water heater is installed must comply with the requirements of AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations.

SECONDARY FLUE

A secondary flue must be installed with an indoor water heater to discharge combustion products to outside the building. The water heater MUST ONLY be installed with a certified Rheem coaxial flue system.

Where more than one water heater is installed, each water heater must be individually flued using a certified Rheem coaxial flue system. A common flue system MUST NOT be used.

Refer to “Flueing” on page 59 for details on the flue requirements and installation details.

SAFE TRAY

PIPE COVER

The pipe work to the water heater can be housed within a pipe cover. A pipe cover kit (PN 299848) is available for such an installation. Refer to the installation instructions which accompany the pipe cover kit.

FROST PROTECTION

The frost protection system will be rendered inoperable if electrical power is not available at the water heater. Damage to the water heater caused by freezing of the pipe work to or from the water heater is not covered under the Rheem warranty. Refer to AS/NZS 3500.4 for precautions to be taken for installations in frost prone areas. The water heater is not suitable for installation in areas where the ambient temperature falls below -20°C (including wind chill factor).

The cold water line to the water heater must be insulated with suitable thickness insulation if freezing conditions are likely to occur. The insulation must be fitted to the underside of the water heater and be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

Where the mains water supply pressure exceeds that shown in the table below, an approved pressure limiting valve that does not have non return valve characteristics (such as an RMC PSL series valve) is required and should be fitted as shown in the installation diagram (refer to page 57).

Notes:

It is not recommended to install this water heater with a low pressure water supply. A minimum water supply pressure of 140 kPa is required to achieve the rated flow and performance of

the water heater.

If this water heater is installed as an in-series gas booster for a solar water heater, the maximum water

supply pressure to the solar water heater, without an expansion control valve (ECV), is generally 800 kPa, however it may be less than this for some models. Refer to the Owner‟s Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater for maximum mains supply pressure details.

If sludge or foreign matter is present in the water supply, it is recommended a suitable filter be

incorporated in the cold water line to the water heater.

This water heater is not suitable for connection to bore water or spring water unless a water treatment

device is fitted.

Refer to “Water Supplies” on page 41 for further information on water chemistry.

Page 48

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

HOT WATER DELIVERY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. It is necessary and we recommend that a temperature limiting device be fitted between an 864 series water

heater and the hot water outlets in any ablution and public areas such as a bathroom, ensuite or public amenities, to reduce the risk of scalding. The installing plumber may have a legal obligation to ensure the installation of this water heater meets the delivery water temperature requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 so that scalding water temperatures are not delivered to a bathroom, ensuite or other ablution or public area.

The temperature limiting device used with a continuous flow gas water heater should have:

a specified „minimum temperature differential‟ between the hot water inlet and the tempered water outlet

of no greater than 10°C, and

a specified „maximum permitted pressure variation‟ in the supply between the hot water inlet and the

cold water inlet of no less than 15%.

Refer to the specifications of the temperature limiting device. Where a temperature limiting device is installed adjacent to the water heater, the cold water line to the

temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the isolation valve and pressure limiting valve to the water heater.

If a pressure limiting valve is installed on the cold water line to the water heater and the cold water line to a temperature limiting device branches off before this valve or from another cold water line in the premises, then a pressure limiting valve of an equal pressure setting may be required prior to the temperature limiting device.

Two Temperature Zones Using a Temperature Limiting Device

An 866 series water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50°C in accordance with AS 3498. There is no statutory requirement in AS/NZS 3500.4 to fit a temperature limiting device if this water heater is installed in other than an early childhood centre, school, nursing home or a facility for young, aged, sick or disabled people. Refer to “Water Temperature Diagrams” on page 52.

Gas Booster for a Solar Water Heater

The temperature limiting device used with an 864 series in-series gas booster as part of a solar water heater installation must have the additional capability of receiving a hot water supply temperature of up to 99°C if the solar water heater does not have an over temperature protection system to limit the water to no greater than 90°C, such as the Rheem Premier Hiline thermosiphon closed circuit system.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (864 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

Where a temperature limiting device is installed adjacent to the in-series gas booster, the cold water line to the temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the isolation valve and pressure limiting valve to the solar storage tank, but it MUST BE before the non return valve prior to an open circuit direct system. The cold water line to the temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the non return valve prior to a closed circuit indirect system. If an expansion control valve is required, it must always be installed after the non return valve and be the last valve prior to the solar storage tank.

Warning: A non return valve MUST BE installed on the cold water line to the solar storage tank AFTER the cold water branch to a temperature limiting device prior to an open circuit direct system. Due to the higher water temperatures generated under certain conditions in the solar collectors of an open circuit direct solar water heater, an additional effective back-flow prevention device also should be used as an extra safeguard. Valve manufacturer RMC recommends Dual Check Valve model N7150, as being suitable for this application.

If a combination isolation valve and non return valve (duo or trio valve) is installed on the cold water line to an open circuit direct solar water heater and the cold water line to the temperature limiting device branches off after this valve, then a second non return valve must be installed between the cold water branch and the solar storage tank. Due to the higher water temperatures generated under certain conditions in the solar collectors of an open circuit direct pumped solar water heater, an effective back-flow prevention device should be used as the second non return valve as an extra safeguard. Valve manufacturer RMC recommends Dual Check Valve model N7150, as being suitable for this application.

If a pressure limiting valve is installed on the cold water line to the solar water heater and the cold water line to a temperature limiting device branches off before this valve or from another cold water line in the premises, then a pressure limiting valve of an equal pressure setting may be required prior to the temperature limiting device.

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

CIRCULATED HOT WATER FLOW AND RETURN SYSTEM

A Rheem 864 627 model continuous flow water heater can be installed as part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building.

Notes:

the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater must be set to at least 60°C.

Water should not be circulated from a water heater with a temperature setting of less than 60°C.

the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater should be set to at least 65°C if the water

temperature decreases by more than 5°C through a circulated hot water flow and return system due to heat loss in the ring main.

temperature controllers should not be installed with a water heater as part of a circulated hot water flow

and return system, including when installed as part of an Ez-Link System dual installation.

The circulator must be:

sized and set to provide a minimum flow rate of 3.0 L/min through the recirculated hot water flow and

return system, and

either thermostatically and / or timer controlled.

The circulator must not be set to operate continuously, i.e. 24 hours per day.

Warning: A Rheem 866 series continuous flow water heater must not be installed as part of a circulated

hot water flow and return system in a building.

Temperature Limiting Device

A temperature limiting device cannot be installed in circulated hot water flow and return pipe work. The tempered water from a temperature limiting device cannot be circulated. Where a circulated hot water flow and return system is required in a building, a temperature limiting device can only be installed on a dead leg, branching off the circulated hot water flow and return pipe.

If circulated tempered water were to be returned back to the water heater, depending on the location of the return line connection on the water supply line to the water heater, then either:

water will be supplied to the cold water inlet of the temperature limiting device at a temperature

exceeding the maximum recommended water supply temperature, or

when the hot taps are closed no water will be supplied to the cold water inlet of the temperature limiting

device whilst hot water will continue to be supplied to the hot water inlet of the temperature limiting device.

These conditions may result in either water at a temperature exceeding the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 being delivered to the hot water outlets in the ablution areas, or the device closing completely and not delivering water at all, or the device failing. Under either condition, the operation and performance of the device cannot be guaranteed.

CONNECTION SIZES

WATER INLET AND OUTLET

All pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before connection and purged before attempting to operate the water heater. All olive compression fittings must use brass or copper olives. Use thread sealing tape or approved thread sealant on all fittings.

A full flow gate valve or ball valve must be installed on the cold water line or solar preheat water line to the water heater. A non return valve or stop tap must not be installed. An acceptable arrangement is shown in the diagram. Refer also to “Hot Water Delivery” on page 48 and to “Mains Water Supply” on page 47.

A disconnection union must always be provided at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet on the water heater to allow for disconnection of the water heater.

Insulation used on the cold and hot water lines must extend up to the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of the water heater.

Notes:

It is essential all pipe connections be correctly aligned, otherwise component connections within the

water heater may be strained and / or components themselves misaligned. It is recommended also, wherever possible, pipe connections be made at the water heater first and final pipe runs be made in soft copper pipe to allow some adjustment for misalignment.

Use the spanner flats on the water heater fittings and take care to avoid twisting the water inlet and

outlet pipes inside the jacket.

The maximum supply temperature to the water heater when used as an in-series gas booster for a solar

water heater should not exceed 80°C.

Page 58

CONNECTIONS – PLUMBING

PIPE SIZES

The pipe sizing for hot water supply systems should be carried out by persons competent to do so, choosing the most suitable pipe size to ensure adequate flow for each individual application. Reference to the technical specifications of the water heater and local regulatory authority requirements must be made.

To achieve true mains pressure operation, the cold water line to the water heater should be the same size or bigger than the hot water line from the water heater.

The minimum recommended cold pipe or solar preheat pipe and hot pipe size is DN20.

IN-SERIES BOOSTER

The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. The insulation must be fitted up to the connections on both the solar storage tank and the in-series gas booster. A full flow isolation valve must be installed on the water line to the in-series gas booster.

GAS INLET

The gas connection is made at the underside of the water heater. 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 (refer to the

diagram on page 57).

Note: Refer to the Gas Installations Standard AS 5601 or 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 this water heater (refer to table on page 53) as well as all of the other gas appliances in the premises.

Warning: Always isolate the water heater before pressure testing the gas supply system. Disconnect the water heater after the isolation valve 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.

Page 59

FLUEING

SECONDARY FLUE

A secondary flue must be installed with an indoor water heater to discharge combustion products to outside the building. The water heater MUST ONLY be installed with certified Rheem coaxial flue components carrying the label opposite. DO NOT use any other type of flue parts.

Where more than one water heater is installed, each water heater must be individually flued using certified Rheem coaxial flue components.

A common flue system MUST NOT be used. The installation of the secondary flue must be carried out by a qualified person and be in accordance with

the Gas Installations Standard AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations, local authority requirements and the installation instructions. A charge will be made for any service related call due to the installation of the flue system not complying with these installation instructions.

The water heater must be flued separately from all other appliances and flued to the outdoors. Minimum clearance requirements apply from the flue terminal in accordance with AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1 (refer also to “Flue Terminal Location” on page 61). Do not install the flue to discharge into a chimney. There is no requirement on the flue to maintain a minimum distance from combustible materials.

Warning: Where the flue penetrates through walls, floors or ceilings, the penetration must comply with local regulations for fire rating. The coaxial flue system does not have nor provides a fire rating.

The water heater flue may be terminated either horizontally with a Horizontal Flue Terminal or vertically with a Vertical Flue Terminal. The secondary flue must be self supporting and not impose a load on the water heater.

Flue runs must be adequately supported along both horizontal and vertical runs. The maximum recommended unsupported span for a horizontal run should be no more than 2.0 m. Support isolation hanging bands should be used. Do not use wire. Wall Brackets (PN 295129) are available and should be used for vertical runs. The coaxial flue components are to be connected together using the screws provided. The flue outside diameter is 127 mm.

Warning: Never operate the water heater unless it has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions. Failure to install the water heater in accordance with the installation instructions, properly flueing the water heater to the outdoors and ensuring it has an adequate air supply, will result in unsafe operation of the water heater, possibly causing fire, explosion, serious injury and asphyxiation from carbon monoxide.

A sealing gasket is located at one end of the inner flue. Check all flue components to ensure the gasket is in place and properly seated. DO NOT install if any gaskets are missing. Contact Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent if the gasket is missing.

FLUE TERMINAL LOCATION

The water heater must be located to ensure that the location of the flue terminal complies with the requirements of AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations. As a guide the following requirements are extracted from the Gas Installations Standard. The distances are measured along the wall from the flue penetration.

Horizontal Flue Terminal Location

At least 300 mm between the top of the flue terminal and the eaves. At least 300 mm between the bottom of the flue terminal and the ground, balcony or other surface. At least 500 mm between the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building, such as an

openable door or window, measured horizontally*.

At least 1500 mm between the top of the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building,

such as an openable window, measured vertically.

At least 300 mm between the flue terminal and a return wall or external corner, measured horizontally*. At least 1500 mm between the flue terminal and any opening into a building, in the direction of the flue

discharge.

At least 500 mm between the flue terminal and a fence, wall or other obstruction, in the direction of the

flue discharge.

At least 300 mm between the flue terminal and any other flue terminal, cowl or other combustion air

intake.

Note: * If these horizontal distances cannot be achieved, AS/NZS 5601.1 states an equivalent horizontal distance measured diagonally from the nearest discharge point of the flue terminal to the opening may be deemed to comply. Check with the local regulator.

For a multiple unit installation, refer to “Horizontal Flue Terminations” on page 73 for minimum distances between flue terminals.

Vertical Flue Terminal Location

At least 300 mm between the underside of the flue terminal and the nearest part of a non-trafficable roof. At least 1500 mm between the top of the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building,

such as an openable window, measured vertically.

At least 500 mm between the flue terminal and any building structure or obstruction facing the terminal,

measured horizontally.

At least 1500 mm between the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building, measured

horizontally.

At least 300 mm between the flue terminal and any other flue terminal, cowl or other combustion air

intake.

For a multiple unit installation, refer to “Vertical Flue Terminations” on page 73 for minimum distances between flue terminals.

FLUE LENGTHS

Maximum Flue Length

The system will not operate if there is excessive restriction (pressure drop) in the flueing system. The secondary flue between the water heater and the flue terminal must:

not exceed a maximum length of 9.0 m. have no more than three (3) 90° bends. be installed with a gradient of 20 mm per metre of horizontal run.

Note: Ensure the seam of the inner flue in horizontal runs is at the top of the installation.

Minimum Flue Length

The minimum horizontal flue distance which may be used is 300 mm, provided:

one 90° Bend is connected to the flue outlet of the water heater, and the Horizontal Flue Terminal is connected to the 90° Bend.

FLUE CONDENSATE

Condensate from the combustion gases may form in the flue. The flue outlet assembly at the top of the water heater incorporates a condensate drain spigot to allow for draining of this condensate.

This spigot is covered by a rubber cap held in position by a clamp. For certain types of installations, it will be necessary to remove the clamp and cap and install a Condensate Trap (PN 295139) and drain line.

The Condensate Trap must be filled with water prior to the operation of the water heater. Refer to “Condensate Trap and Condensate

Drain Line” on page 63.

Draining the Condensate

A Condensate Trap and drain line must be installed under the following conditions in order to prevent condensate from draining back into the water heater:

Where vertical sections exceeding 2 m are incorporated in a horizontally terminating flue system. Where the flue terminates vertically. Where there is a horizontal run of flue between two bends and the bend closest to the flue terminal is

orientated upward.  This horizontal run of flue must have a gradient upward to the flue terminal. Condensate will drain

back toward the water heater.

Failure to install a Condensate Trap and drain line could allow acidic flue gas condensate to enter into the water heater flue-way, causing premature failure of the water heater. Any resultant faults will not be covered by the Rheem warranty.

Note: A horizontal run of flue connecting directly to a Horizontal Flue Terminal must have a gradient downward to the flue terminal. Condensate will drain from the flue terminal.

Page 63

FLUEING

Condensate Trap and Condensate Drain Line

Where the installation requires a Condensate Trap and condensate drain line:

1. Remove the clamp and rubber cap from the condensate drain spigot on the water heater flue outlet

assembly.

2. Locate the Condensate Trap in a suitable position adjacent

to the water heater. The loop of the condensate trap MUST BE below the spigot

of the condensate drain section to ensure proper drainage.  Secure to the wall with the pipe saddle supplied. If required, trim the hose length to suit the installation.

Ensure the structure of the Condensate Trap including the fixed loop is not altered and the trimmed hose seals to the spigot.

3. Fill the condensate trap with water.

4. Fit the shorter end of the silicone tube to the 16 mm spigot of

the water heater flue outlet, ensuring a constant fall to the condensate trap.

 Secure to the spigot with the clamp removed in step 1.  Ensure the silicon hose is not kinked.

5. Plumb the outlet of the Condensate Trap to drain.

 Ensure the silicon hose is not kinked. The drain line should be as short as possible, have a continuous fall all the way from the Condensate

Trap to the discharge outlet and have no tap, valves or other restrictions in the pipe work. The outlet of the drain line must be in such a position that flow can be easily seen, but arranged so the

condensate will not cause injury, damage or nuisance.

Warning: Failure to fill with water may cause flue gasses to escape through the condensate trap. Check regularly to ensure the condensate trap is filled with water, replenishing when required.

Notes

AS/NZS 3500.4 section 5.12, is used as a guide in preparing the following drainage recommendations.

As the condensate is mildly acidic, copper tube and fittings must not be used as they will corrode. Use UPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) or PE (polyethylene) piping. The outlet of the drain line must be in such a position that flow can be easily seen, but arranged so that

discharge will not cause injury, damage or nuisance.

The drain line must not discharge onto electrical connections, earth stakes, copper pipe, concrete paths

or into a pond.

For a multiple unit installation, refer to “Multiple Water Heater Condensate Trap and Condensate Drain Line

Installation” on page 74.

Page 64

FLUEING

HORIZONTAL FLUE RUNS

There are a number of basic installation requirements which must be followed for a flue installation incorporating horizontal flue runs.

Failure to observe these precautions can lead to the premature failure of the flue system and / or water heater.

The flue must be installed with the seam of the inner flue

toward the top of the installation.

A horizontal section of flue must be installed with a

gradient of 20 mm per metre (1 in 50 or 1° fall) of horizontal run.

A horizontal run of flue between two bends, where the

bend closest to the flue terminal is orientated upward, must have a gradient upward to the flue terminal.

 Condensate will drain back toward the water heater. A Condensate Trap and drain line must be

installed where the horizontal flue is installed with an upward gradient. Refer to “Draining the

Condensate” on page 62.

This ensures any condensate formed during operation of the water heater is prevented from draining back into the water heater.

A horizontal run of flue connecting directly to a Horizontal Flue Terminal must have a gradient downward

to the flue terminal. This prevents rainwater from entering the flue draining back into the water heater.  Use Male to Male and Female to Female Adapters to reverse the direction of flue insertion where

three or more sections of flue are used in a horizontal flue run and the flue drains toward the flue terminal. Refer to the diagram “Typical Installation – Horizontal Terminal with One Bend” on page 64.

This provides for proper draining of condensate without pooling at the flue component joins.

HORIZONTAL FLUE INSTALLATION

Horizontal Flueing – Directly Behind Water Heater

This method of flue installation is used where the secondary flue is to penetrate and terminate immediately behind the wall on which the water heater is mounted.

Do not plumb the water heater prior to this type of flue installation, as the water heater (if mounted) requires to be removed from the wall prior to the final installation of the flue.

Notes:

Ensure each flue component is fully engaged and the rubber seal on the inner duct is well seated at

each joint.

Each flue component is supplied with screws to connect to the adjacent flue component. The screws are

located in a bag taped to the outside of the flue component.

To install a horizontal flue and termination directly behind the water heater:

1. Carefully remove the template inserted as the middle pages of this installation instructions booklet.

2. Align the mounting bracket holes on the template exactly over

the upper wall mounting bracket holes on the water heater. This step presumes the water heater is hung on the wall.  It may be convenient to tape the template to the wall. Note: Ensure there are no studs, noggins, pipes or electrical

cables located in the wall where the flue is to penetrate

3. Mark the pilot hole location through the centre of the template.

 Remove but DO NOT DISCARD the template.

4. Remove the water heater from the wall.

Note: It is necessary to remove the water heater from the wall to allow the fitting and installation of the flue. It is also good practice so no debris from the drilling operation enters the water heater flue outlet.

5. Drill a pilot hole using a 6.5 mm diameter or smaller drill bit.

The drill bit must be long enough to penetrate completely through the outer skin of the external wall. Note: Ensure the drill remains level and straight during this step.

6. Cut along the middle of the bold circle marked “Cut Line” on the template.

7. Align the centre of the template with the pilot hole on the wall surface and scribe around the template

onto the wall. The circle should be 150 mm in diameter.  Remove but DO NOT DISCARD the template.

8. Align the centre of the template with the pilot hole on the outside wall surface and scribe around the

template onto the wall. The circle should be 150 mm in diameter.  Remove the template.

9. Drill or cut the flue termination hole through the wall using a cutting tool suitable for the wall construction.

Note: The Trim Ring (PN 295125) will cover a 150 mm diameter hole.

outlet as far as it will go. Ensure there is a minimum 35 mm and maximum 42 mm

overlap, the rubber seal on the inner flue is well seated and the bend is fully engaged on the water heater flue outlet.

 Secure the bend to the outlet with the screws provided.

11. Fit the 300 mm Straight Length (PN 295126) of flue to the

90° Bend, if required. Note: A total wall thickness of greater than 170 mm will

require a 300 mm Straight Length of flue.

12. Fit the Horizontal Terminal (PN 295116) to either the

90° Bend or 300 mm Straight Length of flue.

13. Secure each flue component using the sheet metal screws

provided.

14. Fit a Trim Ring over the last section of flue.

15. Rehang the water heater on the wall, carefully inserting the

flue assembly through the wall penetration. The water heater should be installed in its final location and

fixed in position before completing the flue installation. Securely fasten the water heater to the wall at each of the

Wall Bracket mounting points. Adjust the mounting brackets at the top and bottom of the

water heater if required. Bracket adjustment of up to 30 mm can be made and may assist with flue fitment and alignment.

16. Check the end of the outer skin of the flue terminal extends a

minimum of 75 mm from the face of the external wall.

17. Apply an adequate bead of sealant around the flue assembly

and exterior wall of the building, using a general purpose silicone sealant suitable for outdoor application.

Failure to properly seal the flue penetration through the wall will result in long term damage due to weather conditions.

18. Apply an adequate bead of sealant on the rear face of a Trim Ring, using a general purpose silicone

sealant suitable for outdoor application.  Fit the Trim Ring over the flue terminal and press against the wall.

19. Apply an adequate bead of sealant around the flue assembly and interior wall of the building and on the

rear face of the Trim Ring, using a general purpose silicone sealant suitable for indoor application. Press the Trim Ring against the wall.

20. Upon completion of the secondary flue installation, remove the warning label adhered to the top left

hand corner of the water heater‟s front panel.

Horizontal Flueing – Extended Flue Run Notes:

Ensure each flue component is fully engaged and the rubber seal on the inner duct is well seated at

each joint.

Each flue component is supplied with screws to connect to the adjacent flue component. The screws are

located in a bag taped to the outside of the flue component.

Refer to diagrams:

 “Typical Installation – Horizontal Terminal with One Bend” on page 64, and  “Typical Installation – Horizontal Terminal with Multiple Vertical and Horizontal Sections” on

page 65.

To install an extended horizontal flue and termination:

1. Install the water heater in its final location.

2. Connect the 90° Bend (PN 295118) to the water heater flue outlet and rotate in the desired direction of

discharge, if the flue is not to have a change of direction from horizontal to vertical.  Fit the end of the bend down over the water heater flue outlet as far as it will go.

Ensure there is a minimum 35 mm and maximum 42 mm overlap, the rubber seal on the inner flue is well seated and the bend is fully engaged on the water heater flue outlet.

 Secure the bend to the outlet with the screws provided.

3. Mark the location where the top of the flue is to penetrate the wall to outside of the building.

If the flue is not to have a change of direction from horizontal to vertical, then to accurately mark this position:

 Measure the vertical distance from the floor to

the top of the 90° Bend, and

 Measure the horizontal distance from the wall

behind the water heater to the centre of the 90° Bend, and

 Then, where the flue is expected to penetrate

the wall, mark the vertical distance up from the floor and the horizontal distance out from the wall measured from the previous steps.

Note: If the flue is to have an additional one or two horizontal changes of direction, then it is not necessary to measure or mark the horizontal distance from the wall behind the water heater to the centre of the 90° Bend.

 Alternatively, using a level, run from the top of the 90° Bend to a location horizontal on the wall

where the flue will penetrate and mark this point on the wall

 Measure the horizontal distance, along the proposed flue route, from the end of the 90° Bend to the

where the flue is to penetrate the wall. Divide this measurement by 50 to calculate the vertical distance fall of the flue (allowing for a 1 in 50

fall).

 Measure this distance down from the previous mark placed on the wall.

This point will be the top of the flue termination hole and the flue will have a gradient of 20 mm per metre of length towards the terminal.

Note: Ensure there are no studs, noggins, pipes or electrical cables located in the wall where the flue is to penetrate

The scribed circle should be 150 mm in diameter.  Remove but DO NOT DISCARD the template.

7. Drill a pilot hole using a 6.5 mm diameter or smaller drill bit.

The drill bit must be long enough to penetrate completely through the outer skin of the external wall. Note: Ensure the drill remains level and straight during this step.

8. Align the centre of the template with the pilot hole on the outside wall surface and scribe around the

template onto the wall. The scribed circle should be 150 mm in diameter.  Remove the template.

9. Drill or cut the flue termination hole through the wall using a cutting tool suitable for the wall construction.

Note: The Trim Ring (PN 295125) will cover a 150mm diameter hole.

10. Starting from the 90° Bend and working towards the terminal location, connect all of the other flue

system components.  Ensure each flue component is fully engaged and

the rubber seal on the inner duct is well seated at each joint.

11. Secure each flue component using the sheet metal

screws provided.

12. Support horizontal sections at a distance no greater than

2 m using a Wall Bracket (PN 295129).

13. A horizontal run of flue connecting directly to a Horizontal Flue Terminal must have a downward gradient

to the flue terminal.  Use Male to Male and Female to Female Adapters to reverse the direction of flue insertion where

three or more sections of flue are used in a horizontal flue run and the flue drains toward the flue terminal. Refer to the diagram on page 64.

This provides for proper draining of condensate without pooling at the flue component joins.

14. A horizontal run of flue between two bends, where the bend closest to the flue terminal is orientated

upward, must have a gradient upward in the direction of the flue terminal. Note: A Condensate Trap and condensate drain line must be installed if the flue has a gradient upward

in the direction of the flue terminal. Refer to step 22.

15. The Adjustable Straight Length (PN 295127) may be required if a special length is required between

offsets or changes in direction of the flue or to ensure the outer skin of the Horizontal Flue Terminal extends a minimum of 75 mm from the face of the external wall.

 The Adjustable Straight Length can be adjusted from 560 mm to 890 mm by pulling on its end to

increase its length or pushing on its end to decrease its length.

MULTIPLE WATER HEATER CONDENSATE TRAP AND CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE INSTALLATION

Depending upon the type of installation, it may be necessary to install a Condensate Trap and condensate drain line to each water heater. Refer to “Draining the Condensate” on page 62.

The drain line from each Condensate Trap may be:

drained separately to a discharge point, or manifolded together with a single drain line running to a discharge point.

Condensate Traps with Common Drain Line

1. Remove the clamp and rubber cap from the condensate drain spigot on each water heater flue outlet

assembly.

2. Locate and install the Condensate Trap in a suitable position adjacent to the water heater.

Refer to steps 2 to 4 of the procedure outlined in “Condensate Trap and Condensate Drain Line” on page 63.

If the drain line from each Condensate Trap is to be run separately to a discharge point, then proceed to step 4, otherwise continue with step 3.

3. Manifold the drain lines from each Condensate Trap into a common header.

Use UPVC, PE or similar, do not use copper. Ensure adequate fall is provided in the header to allow for complete drainage. It may be necessary to support the drain line manifold with suitable hangers from the ceiling.

condensate drain common manifold

4. Plumb the outlet of each Condensate Trap or the drain line manifold to a suitable discharge point.

The drain line should be as short as possible, have a continuous fall all the way from the Condensate Trap or drain line manifold to the discharge outlet and have no tap, valves or other restrictions in the pipe work. The outlet of the drain line must be in such a position that flow can be easily seen, but arranged so the condensate will not cause injury, damage or nuisance.

The EZ-Link™ system is designed to electronically control two continuous flow gas water heaters and have them operate as one. One or both water heaters may be in operation, depending upon the hot water demand. The second water heater will only operate when the hot water demand exceeds the capacity of the first water heater to supply.

The EZ-Link system is suitable for installation with Rheem 864 and 866 series 627 model continuous flow gas water heaters. The Ez-Link Kit PN 290141 is required for the installation.

Ez-Link Kit – PN 290141

Notes:

Only two continuous flow gas water heaters can be installed with an Ez-Link system. The Ez-Link system will vary the start up sequence of the two water heaters. The two continuous flow water heaters must be of the same model. The performance of two different

model water heaters manifolded together cannot be guaranteed.

Rheem 864 and 866 series 627 model water heaters do not require a temperature controller to be

installed as part of an Ez-link system installation.

A temperature controller(s) may be installed with the EZ-Link system on an 864 or 866 627 model dual

installation. The controller(s) can be either a standard or Deluxe controller(s). If the preset outlet temperature of the water heater is set at greater than 60°C, the maximum outlet

temperature of the water heater will be limited by the maximum temperature setting of the temperature controller.

Two 864 627 model water heaters manifolded together with an Ez-Link system installed can be used as

an in-series gas booster system to a solar water heater installation so long as a temperature controller is not installed.

Warning: Two continuous flow water heaters manifolded together with an Ez-Link system installed cannot be used as an in-series gas booster system to a solar water heater installation if a temperature controller is installed. Temperature controllers must not be fitted to a water heater as part of a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered.

DUAL INSTALLATION

The two continuous flow water heaters can be installed side by side with minimal clearance between them. The AGA has approved the installation of two of this model water heater with an exemption from the 300 mm minimum clearance requirements between flue terminals, as stated in AS/NZS 5601, clause 5.13.6.5 and AS/NZS 5601.1, clause 6.9.3.

Install two continuous flow water heaters of the same model in a parallel plumbing arrangement. It is good practice, but not essential, to install the two water heaters in an Equa-Flow® manifold plumbing arrangement. There are basic installation requirements which must be followed:

1. The pipe work must be sized to meet the requirements of both AS/NZS 3500.4 and the application. It is

recommended to use minimum DN25 pipe for the cold water line, cold and hot headers and hot water line and DN20 for the cold and hot water branch lines of each water heater.

2. A full flow gate valve or ball valve must be installed on the cold water line to the system. A non return

valve or stop tap must not be installed.

3. A full flow gate valve or ball valve (not a stop tap) should be installed on both the cold water branch and

hot water branch of each water heater.

4. An isolation valve must be installed on the gas branch of each water heater.

5. Non return valves or pressure limiting valves must not be installed on the branch lines to the water

heaters.

6. All fittings, valves and branch lines should be matched sets to each of the water heaters.

7. Sufficient space must be left to enable access, servicing or removal of either water heater.

Refer to the „Typical Two Unit Manifold with Ez-Link Connection‟ diagram on page 81 for installation and plant layout details.

LABELS

A warning label (121109) and an AGA approval label (121901) are supplied in the Ez-Link kit. Where the two water heaters are installed close together and the warning label and AGA approval label on the inside face of the right hand water heater cannot be read, it is necessary to adhere the two labels supplied to the right-hand face of the water heater.

1. Place the warning label below the rating label.

2. Place the AGA approval label beside the barcode label.

Refer to the „Label Positioning‟ diagram on page 78 for the position of the two labels to be adhered to the water heater.

A second rating label is attached to the inside of the front cover. This can be referenced to determine details of the left hand water heater.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

A temperature controller may be installed with the EZ-Link system. The controller can be either a standard or Deluxe controller. Rheem 864 and 866 series 627 model water heaters do not require a temperature controller to be installed as part of an Ez-link system installation.

Connect a temperature controller to one only of the two water heaters. Up to three temperature controllers of the same family can be installed to this water heater. Refer to “Installation – Controllers” on page 82.

The water heater connected with the temperature controller(s) will become the “master” water heater. The installed temperature controller(s) will control the temperature and functionality of both water heaters. The maximum outlet temperature of the water heaters will be limited by the maximum temperature setting of the temperature controller.

A temperature controller should not be installed if two 864 627 model water heaters have been Ez-Linked together and they are part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building. Refer to “Circulated

Hot Water Flow And Return System” on page 50.

INSTALLATION – CONTROLLERS

CONTROLLERS

The Rheem 864 and 866 series can be installed with Rheem controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater.

There are two families of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard controllers and the Deluxe controllers.

Standard Controllers

There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853), Bathroom1 controller (Rheem PN 299854) and the Bathroom2 controller (Rheem PN 299855).

The standard controllers are suitable for use on all 864 and 866 series models. The standard controllers are identified by a „K‟ (Kitchen controller), „B1‟ (Bathroom1 controller) or „B2‟

(Bathroom2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.

Deluxe Controllers

The Deluxe controllers are suitable for use on all 864 and 866 series models.

The Deluxe controllers are identified by a „K‟ (Kitchen Deluxe controller), „B1‟ (Bathroom1 Deluxe controller)

or „B2‟ (Bathroom2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent

to the BATH FILL VOLUME label. The standard and Deluxe controllers are designed to be hard wired into the water heater using either the

Kitchen controller cable (Rheem PN 299856) or the Bathroom controller cable (Rheem PN 299857).

Notes:

can only be installed with another Deluxe controller(s). A standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller(s) cannot be connected to the same water heater.

One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to

the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water heater.

A Bathroom2 controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 controller is installed and a Bathroom2

Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 Deluxe controller is installed.

An additional Kitchen controller cable or Bathroom controller cable can be used if an extension of the

cable length is required. It will be necessary to cut an opposite end off both cables to be installed in order to wire them together. Alternatively, the cables may be extended using two-core flex with a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm2.
