MAINS WATER SUPPLY
Where the mains water supply pressure 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 36 ) .
Model 270
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 and a pressure
pump system is not installed, then the bottom of the supply tank must be at
least 1 m above the highest point of the hot water plumbing system, including
the solar storage tank. Care must be taken to avoid air locks. The cold water
line to the water heater should be adequately sized and fitted with a full flow
gate valve or ball valve.
