WATER INLET AND OUTLET 

All  pipe  work  must  be  cleared  of  foreign  matter  before 
connection  and  purged  before  attempting  to  operate  the 
water heater. All olive compression fittings must use brass 
or  copper  olives.  Use  thread  sealing  tape  or  approved 
thread sealant on all fittings. 
 
A full flow gate valve or ball valve must be installed on the 
cold  water  line  or  solar  preheat  water  line  to  the  water 
heater. 

A  non  return  valve  or  stop  tap  must  not  be 

installed.

  An  acceptable  arrangement  is  shown  in  the 

diagram.  Refer  also  to 

“Hot  Water  Delivery”

  on  page 29 

and t

“Mains Water Supply”

 on page 28. 

 
A disconnection union must always be provided at the cold 
water  inlet  and  hot  water  outlet  on  the  water  heater  to 
allow for disconnection of the water heater. 
 
Insulation  used  on  the  cold  and  hot  water  lines  must 
extend up to the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of the 
water heater. 
 

Notes: 

 

It  is  essential  all  pipe  connections  be  correctly  aligned,  otherwise  component  connections  within  the 
water  heater  may  be  strained  and / or  components  themselves  misaligned.  It  is  recommended  also, 
wherever possible, pipe connections be made at the  water heater first and final pipe runs be made in 
soft copper pipe to allow some adjustment for misalignment. 

 

Use  the  spanner  flats  on  the  water  heater  fittings  and  take  care  to  avoid  twisting  the  water  inlet  and 
outlet pipes inside the jacket. 

 

The maximum supply temperature to the water heater when used as an in-series gas booster to a solar 
water heater is 80°C.
