tion and removal. The thread diameter is 20 mm.

THIS DOES NOT INDICATE THE SIZE OF THE GAS

SUPPLY.

2) Fit an AGA / NZGA approved isolating gas cock in the

supply line adjacent to the water heater gas connection.

3) Ensure that the supply pipe and the gas pressure regula-

tor (LPG or Natural Gas) has sufficient flow capacity for

this and other appliances connected to the fitting line.

4) For LPG appliances ensure that gas cylinders are of suf-

ficient size. The water heater alone will require 2 x 45 Kg

capacity cylinders.

5) Before connecting the appliance to the gas service,

purge any debris or air from the gas service.

6) Check all joints for leaks with an approved leak tester

after connection.

Follow the instructions from the gas supplier.

Gas Pressure

demand of the building and length from

the meter or regulator so that the follow-

ing supply pressures are available even

at maximum demand refer AS5601:

Natural Gas Supply Pressure

Min. 1.13 kPa

Max. 3.00 kPa

LP Gas Supply Pressure

Min. 2.75 kPa

Max. 3.50 kPa

7. Gas Piping

The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa.

The appliance and its gas connections must be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation.

The inlet gas pressure must be within the range specified. This is for the purposes of input adjustment.

In order to choose the proper size for the gas line, consult local codes and / or the AS5601.

Measuring Gas Pressure

In order to check the gas supply pressure to the unit, a tap is

provided on the gas inlet. Remove the hex head philips screw from

Installation Instructions

8. Water Piping

This appliance is suitable for potable water applications. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and

gas control which has been under water.

Piping and components connected to the water heater shall be suitable for use with potable water.

Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water.

A water heater used to supply potable water may not be connected to any heating system or components previously

used with a nonpotable water heating appliance.

When water is required in one part of the system at a higher temperature than in the rest of the system, means such

as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water to reduce the scald hazard.

Installation and service must be performed

by a qualified plumber.

Observe all applicable codes.

•Flush water through the pipe to clean out metal powder, sand and dirt before connecting it.

•Perform the following insulation measures for prevention of freezing.

•Take appropriate heat insulation measures (e.g., wrapping with heat

insulation materials, using electric heaters) according to the climate of

the region to prevent the pipe from freezing.

•Make sure that there are no water leaks from the cold and hot water

supply pipes, then insulate the pipes completely.

•Be sure to also completely insulate the water supply valve and the

cold and hot water connections on the water heater (refer to the figure

on the right).

•Do not cover the water drain plug with insulation so that water in the

pipe can be drained. (Refer to the figure in the right.)

•

Use a union coupling for connecting the pipes to reduce the force applied to the piping.

•When feed water pressure is too high, insert a depressurizing valve, or take water hammer prevention measure.

•Avoid using joints as much as possible to keep the piping simple.

•Avoid piping in which an air lock can occur.

•

Use approved piping materials.

•If installing the unit on a roof (Above lower-level hot water supply):

If the unit is installed on a roof to supply water to the levels below, make sure that the water pressure supplied to

the unit does not drop below 199 kPa. It may be necessary to install a pump system to ensure that the water

pressure is maintained at this level.

Check the pressure before putting the unit into operation.

Failure to supply the proper pressure to the unit may result in noisy operation, shorter lifetime of the unit, and may

cause the unit to shut down frequently.
