INSTALLATION – SOLAR STORAGE TANK

SAFE TRAY

It is a requirement of the National Plumbing Code AS/NZS 3500.4.2 that for new installations all water heaters be installed in a safe tray where in the event of a leak, property may be damaged. Installation of such trays must comply with Clause 4.4 and Sub-clauses 1 to 5 of the above mentioned code.

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

Where the mains water supply exceeds that shown in the table below, an approved pressure limiting valve is required and should be fitted as shown in the installation diagram (refer to diagram on page 21).

Model

250, 315, 400 litre

Relief valve setting

1000 kPa

Expansion control valve setting *

850 kPa

Max. mains supply pressure

 

With expansion control valve

680 kPa

Without expansion control valve

800 kPa

* Expansion control valve not supplied with the water heater.

TANK WATER SUPPLY

If the water heater is supplied with water from a tank supply, then the bottom of the supply tank must be at least 1 m above both the solar collectors and the highest hot water outlet. Take care to avoid air locks. The cold water supply line to the water heater should be adequately sized and fitted with a full flow gate valve or ball valve.

HOT WATER DELIVERY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. It is necessary that a temperature limiting device, such as the Rheem Temp-Set, be fitted between the water heater and the outlets in any ablution area, such as a bathroom or ensuite, when this water heater is installed, 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 3500.4.2 so that scalding water temperatures are not delivered to a bathroom, ensuite or other ablution area (refer to diagram on page 21).
