In accordance with AS/NZS 60335 CI.7, the following recommendations
are made in regard to both internal and external installation.
The Minimum space to be provided for Internal installation is 600 mm x 600
mm. The installation may be freestanding on the floor/sub-floor structure in
the enclosed area.
The clearance required needs to be adequate for service/replacement of cold
water inlet piping devices, PTR valve and tempering valves (where fitted),
elements and thermostats. This may be facilitated by correct orientation of the
cover positions when installing. There are no operational clearance limitations
to surrounding structure. PTR valve removal requires approximately 150 mm
for withdrawal.
Building-in acceptable provided that removable panels are able to facilitate
Unit replacement without major alteration to piping or to structural elements.
It is recommended to provide 25 mm hardwood slats under the unit to allow
free air movement and also a vent grille if the unit is to be fully built-in. This
will ensure that any moisture discharge from PTR drain pipe is evaporated if
directed to safety tray drain point.
Combustible Material
It is recommended to not place combustible material on or adjacent to the
water heater.
Internal Installation Safe Tray
For internal (indoor) installations, a safe tray is recommended in
accordance with Australian Standard AS 3500.4 clause 4.4, and as shown
in Figure 1. This is necessary to prevent damage associated with water loss
during element replacement.
External Installation Plinth
For external installation a plinth or concrete base pad is recommended in
accordance with Australian Standard AS 3500.4 clause 4.5.3. as shown
in Figure 2. Whilst this is necessary to ensure that the sheetmetal base of
conventional water heaters does not corrode; wet conditions do not effect the
Everlast™ polymeric casing which is corrosion proof. A base pad is optional
and will ensure even support. There is no need for any external weather
protection for your Everlast™ Series 2000 water heater.
Mains Power supply connections
Electrical work must be carried out by a licenced tradesman and in accordance
with AS 3000 SAA Wiring Rules. The circuit isolation and Fixed Appliance
regulations of the Wiring Rules Sec 4.3.9 shall be complied in regard to
connection to Supply and circuit isolatiom. Refer to Electrical Connection for
appliance to wiring connection and disconnection.
