1. Make sure that the wall can withstand at least twice
the weight of the water heater when completely
filled with water.
2. Before locating the position for installation of the
water heater, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance between the ceiling and the side wall.
(Fig. 1)
3. Use a drill bit with diameter of 10mm to drill 4 holes
at least 90mm deep in the wall (Fig. 3). The four
holes should be aligned horizontally and vertically.
The horizontal distance between the 2 holes should
be 120mm and the vertical distance should be
57mm. (Fig. 2)
4. Insert the expansion anchors into the holes. Place the
wall mounting bracket over the expansion anchors
and tighten the screws on the bracket. (Fig. 3)
5. Place the water heater on wall mounting bracket (Fig. 4)
using hanger hooks. Tug downwards on the heater to
ensure that the water heater is fixed steadily.
1. Make necessary plumbing with reference to the installation diagram. (Fig. 5)
2. A. O. Smith recommends nylon braided hoses having a minimum pressure rating of 8 Bar
and hoses should be compatible for hot water applications.
3. Connect the cold water pipe to the inlet [Blue Cap].
4. Connect the hot water pipe to the outlet [Red Cap].
5. Attach the discharge tube to safety valve as shown in installation diagram. (Fig. 5)
Attention:
Make sure a suitable sealing tape is used for all connections to prevent leakage.
