INSTALLATION
Installation Overview
This water heater must be installed by a qualified person in accordance
with the installation instructions. The installation must comply with the
requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, all local
codes and regulatory authority requirements.
Check to ensure the water heater is suitable for the gas type available
(refer to the water heaters rating label).
All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater prior to its
installation. This includes the removal of the cardboard base of the carton
from the underside of the water heater.
This water heater is not suitable for pool heating.
Hot Water Redundancy
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.
Water Heater Location
This water heater is suitable for outdoor installation only. The water heater
should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position
chosen with safety and service in mind.
Ensure people, particularly children, will not touch the flue outlet. The flue
terminal must be clear of obstructions including shrubbery.
Sufficient and safe space for ease of service and access to front access
cover, burner and relief valve should be considered when locating the
water heater. The water heater must be installed upright in a vertical
position and must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. If
adequate room is unavailable, the water heater must be disconnected,
drained and removed to enable servicing.
The water heater should be installed at ground level on a fire poof base,
such as a concrete or brick plinth, as approved by the local authority. The
water heater must stand vertically upright with the back of the water heater
against an external wall. Failure to observe this precaution can cause
problems in high wind areas. A secondary flue is not required.
