IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SAFE OPERATION
• Hot water can cause a severe scalding injury.
Those most at risk are children, the elderly the infirm and anyone with disabilities.
We recommend and plumbing regulations may require that that the temperature of the hot
water delivered to rooms such as your bathroom and en-suite is limited to 50ºC. This will
reduce the risk of scalding injuries.
If you have not previously had a 50ºC limited supply to your bathroom or en-suite you may
find that it takes a little longer for hot water to arrive at the tap. This is normal and indicates
the reduced scalding risk a 50ºC supply provides.
It is the installing plumber’s responsibility to ensure the water delivered to your hot taps is at
a temperature which complies with all relevant regulations. However we recommend that you
inform yourself of all your hot water taps’ delivery temperatures.
In order to lower the hot water delivery temperatures to your bathroom and en-suite or any
other taps to a maximum of 50ºC an approved temperature limiting device will be required to
be fitted to your pipe work.
RAPID R26N and R26P are designed for installation as in series solar boost heaters
and are required by plumbing regulations and can be set to have a minimum pre-set
delivery temperature of 70ºC MIN.
Water heated by the solar heater to temperatures in excess of 70ºC may pass through the
heater and be delivered to your hot water taps.
In order to lower the hot water temperature to your bathroom and en-suite or any other taps
to a maximum of 50ºC an approved temperature limiting device will be required to be fitted to
your pipework.
• There is a hot gas flame inside your heater when it is operating
Keep flammable materials, spray cans, fuel containers, chemicals, trees and shrubs
etc. well clear of the heater.
• The discharge from the heater’s flue outlet is hot.
Do not touch the heater or outlet.
Do not insert anything into the flue outlet.
Do not spray water directly into the flue outlet.
