c) Cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 70 kPa and
a maximum working pressure of 500 kPa connected via an isolation
valve.
d) Outlet drainage to a sink draining board or to a drip tray.
e) Access to drainage from a vent situated at the base of the heater.
If the water pressure is likely to exceed 500 kPa, a 350 kPa pressure
reducing valve must be installed in the cold water supply line.
f) In all installation instances the walls of the heater must be vertical
and the base horizontal, there can be no exceptions to this rule.
Before You Begin
Locate the paper mounting-hole template packed with the heater.
Read the installation and operating instructions completely.
Decide whether to install with concealed or exposed plumbing and/or
electrical connections. Concealed connections are preferred for superior
appearance.
Step 1 – Positioning
Position the heater so the tap will drain on to a draining board or drip
tray.
Position the base of the tap to be not less than 200 mm above the
draining board (height should be increased only if essential for filling
larger vessels).
Provide clearance for service access of not less than 150 mm top, 65
mm left, 20 mm right.
Mark corner positions for the heater on the wall so as to position the
paper mounting-hole template.
Step 2 – Fastening
Position mounting-hole template on wall and drill holes where shown.
Remove cover fastening screws from heater and lift whole cover off
heater.
Install plumbing and wiring and prepare pipe ends and wiring ends as
required.
Screw heater chassis to the wall using screws or bolts suited to the
walling.
Screws or bolts must be capable of supporting the heater weight when
filled. (Refer to table to the left).
