Where to install my water heater?
3.1. Precautions
•
Choose a place of installation whose temperature is always between 4°C and 35°C.
•
The water heater must be positioned as close as possible to the major draw-off points (bathroom, kitchen,
etc.)
•
If it is positioned outside the living area (cellar, garage), the pipes and the safety units (safety unit, pressure
limiter) must be insulated.
•
Make provision in the room for ventilation to prevent condensation and corrosion of the water heater paint.
•
Ensure that the supporting element (wall or ceiling) is suffi ciently resistant to accommodate the weight of the
water heater full of water (see table page 43).
•
Make provision for a space of 40 cm for the periodic maintenance of the
heater element.
•
In the case of installation above living rooms (suspended ceilings, attics, etc.),
it is
ESSENTIAL
to make provision for a water collection tank connected
to the drain under the water heater (shower type tank for example).
