General:
It is recommended that all hot water pipes
are insulated. Hot water pipes installed
outdoors should be insulated with UV
stabilised insulation.
Plastic pipes or fittings shall not be
used between the storage tank and the
instantaneous gas water heater or within
1 metre of its outlet, although they may be
used downstream of a temperature control
valve. Refer to AS/NZS 3500.4 for further
details.
Gas Booster Inlet Connection:
The Cold Water Inlet of the instantaneous
gas water heater is to be connected using
a DN20 copper pipe to the RP¾”(DN20)
socket marked “OUTLET” on the left hand
side of the water heater towards the top.
The length of this pipe must not exceed
2 metres.
Gas Booster Outlet Connection:
The hot water pipe that supplies the building
is to be connected to the Hot Water Outlet of
the instantaneous gas water heater.
Temperature Protection:
Solar water heaters can produce very hot
water. To reduce the risk of scald injury,
AS/NZS 3500.4 requires that an approved
temperature control device is fitted to the
hot water supply to outlets used primarily
for personal hygiene. This device should be
checked at regular intervals to ensure its
operation and settings remain correct.
An RMC MIX15U HeatGuard Ultra Tempering
Valve is supplied in the Accessories Kit.
Please refer to the Installation Instructions
included with the tempering valve.
