INSTALLATION

REDUCING HEAT LOSSES

The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.

ANODE TYPES

The correct anode type for the water supply being used must be fitted in the water heater (refer to “Water Supplies” on page 30). The black anode is fitted as standard.

SADDLING - PIPE WORK

To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the water heater jacket, we recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a maximum length of 12 mm. Should pre drilling be required, extreme caution must be observed when penetrating the jacket of the water heater.

Note: Damage to the cylinder as a result of saddling to the jacket will void the warranty.
