CONDENSATE DRAIN
This model has a condensate discharge outlet positioned on the lower left hand
side of the water heater. A condensate elbow, bracket and screws are supplied.

Position the condensate elbow in the
bracket.

Fit the condensate elbow to the
condensate discharge outlet.

Orientate the bracket so the outlet of
the condensate elbow points either
downwards or horizontally facing the
rear of the water heater.

Fix the bracket to the jacket panel
using the screws provided.
A drain line is recommended to be connected to the condensate elbow to carry
the discharge clear of the water heater. The drain line can be extended using
16 mm rigid conduit. The pipe work from the discharge outlet to the drain should
be as short as possible and fall all the way from the water heater with no
restrictions.
The condensate drain line must not be connected to the temperature
pressure relief valve drain line but may discharge at the same point.
GAS INLET
The gas connection is made through the grommet in the left hand side panel to
the gas control. The pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before
connection and purged before attempting to light the water heater. An isolation
valve and disconnection union must be installed to allow servicing and removal
of the water heater.
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 gas input of this water heater (
refer to
table on page 27) 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 isolating cock to prevent
the risk of serious damage to the gas control. The Aquamax warranty does not
cover damage of any nature resulting from failure to observe this precaution.
Refer to rating label for gas types and pressures.
Caution: Care is necessary when tightening fittings into the gas valve. The gas
valve casting may crack if the fittings are over tightened. Cracked valve castings
are not covered under the Aquamax warranty. Damaged valves must be
replaced.
