CONNECTIONS – PLUMBING

GAS INLET
The gas connection is made through the left hand side near the access panel
to the gas control. The pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before
connection and purged before attempting to light the water heater. An isolation
valve and disconnection union must be installed to allow servicing and removal
of the water heater.
Natural gas models:
Remove the yellow warning label from the gas control
valve.
Propane gas models:
A regulator is
supplied with the water heater and
must be installed between the gas
isolation valve and jacket of the water
heater. The regulator has been preset
to obtain a burner pressure of
approximately 2.70 kPa. The regulator
is adjustable.
Remove the two protective plastic
plugs, one at either end of the
regulator, before installation.
Refer to the gas flow directional arrow on the underside of the regulator to
ensure it is installed in the correct orientation.
Note:
Refer to the Gas Installations Standard AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1 for
the correct method of sizing the gas supply pipe to the water heater. The pipe
size selection must take into account the gas input of this water heater (
on page 31) as well as all of the other gas appliances in the premises.
Warning:
Always isolate the water heater before pressure testing the gas
supply system. Disconnect the water heater after the isolating cock to prevent
the risk of serious damage to the gas control. The Everhot warranty does not
cover damage of any nature resulting from failure to observe this precaution.
Refer to the rating label for gas types and pressures.
Caution:
Care is necessary when tightening fittings into the gas valve. The gas
valve casting may crack if the fittings are over tightened. Cracked valve
castings are not covered under the Everhot warranty. Damaged valves must be
replaced.
