5.0 PLUMBING INSTALLATION
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
1. Cold Water Supply Outlet
• The cold water supply connection is a G 3/4” female thread.
• The cold water supply should be connected to G 3/4” socket.
• The cold water supply outlet can also act as a drainage point for emptying the system.
2. Hot Water Connections
• The hot water supply connection is a G 3/4” female thread.
• The hot water supply should be connected to G 3/4” socket.
• To ensure thermal efficiency all hot water lines and connections must be insulated with a minimum 13mm closed
cell insulation.
• All hot water supply parts must be constructed from copper. If using pipe of other material please refer to local
authorities for further instructions.
3. Condensate Drain
• The process of heat extraction from the atmosphere
through evaporator coils results in the production of water
in the form of condensation. More humid environments will
produce higher rates of condensation.
• To collect this water by-product a Condensate Tray is
located on top of the water storage tank. Overflow from
this tray runs out through the Condensate Drain.
• The condensate connection is a 3/4” male thread. A
3/4” elbow socket is supplied with the system which must
be connected to the drain outlet. Drainage of condensate
from elbow to nearest storm water to be done by the
collection of condensate into an open dish and drained via
copper piping. If not drained properly, the condensate line
will attract termites as well produce algae and moss
growth.
• The Condensate line should be free of kinks and as the
water is gravity fed, should only be running down to
ensure the free flow of water.
Connecting any pipe directly to the condensate line without air gap will void warranties
