Cold Water Connection

It is mandatory to fit the following items 
between the supply main and the 
RP¾"/20mm socket in the water heater.
•  an isolating valve
•  a non return valve
•  a line strainer
•  a union 
All fittings must be approved by the 
relevant Authority and in accordance to 
the plumbing code. 

Note for S.A. and W.A.:

 It is a state 

requirement that a pressure relief 
valve be fitted on the cold water 
supply line between the non re-
turn valve and the water heater. 

Hot Water Connection

The hot water line should be connected 
to the “OUTLET” socket on the tank. 

Insulation of Pipes

All hot water pipes 

must

 be insulated 

with UV stabilized insulation. 

Temperature Protection

All water heaters have the ability to 
produce hot water very quickly. To 
reduce the risk of scald injury, it is 
mandatory under the requirements of 
Australian Standard AS/NZS3500.4.2 
that a suitably approved temperature 
control device, such as a tempering 
valve, be fitted to the hot water supply 
to outlets used primarily for personal 
hygiene. 

Plumbing Connections

Note:

 a combined isolating valve/non-return valve/line strainer may be used.

Pressure relief valve only required where local regulations demand.
