SOLAR WATER HEATER STORAGE TANK LOCATION
The solar water heater storage tank is suitable for either outdoor or indoor
installation. Whether located outdoor or indoor, the solar water heater storage tank
should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen
with safety and service in mind.
Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The solar water heater
storage tank must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure
the Temperature and Pressure Relief valve lever is accessible and the front cover,
thermostat and booster heating unit can be removed for service.
You must be able to read the information on the rating plate. If possible leave
headroom of one water heater length so the anode can be inspected or replaced.
Remember you may have to remove the entire water heater later for servicing.
The installation must comply with
the requirements of
AS/NZS 3500.4.2, AS/NZS 3000,
and all local codes and regulatory
authority requirements. In New
Zealand, the installation must
conform with the New Zealand
Building Code.
It is recommended the solar
storage tank be installed at ground
or floor level and must stand
vertically upright. Remember all
local authorities have regulations
about putting water heaters into
roof spaces.
