the water heater for clearance above to
replace the anode.
A properly drained overflow tray must
be used where property damage
could occur from water spillage. (See
AS/NZS3500.4.2 for further details).
Warranty does not cover consequential
damage due to heater leakage.
Water Supply Pressure
This water heater is designed for direct
connection to water supply pressures of
no greater than:
All Models – 1120kPa
Where the mains pressure can exceed
or fluctuate beyond the pressure
shown above a pressure limiting device
(complying with AS1357) must be
fitted in the cold water inlet supply.
This device must be installed after
the isolating valve and set below the
pressure shown above. Note during
periods of lower demand water pressure
may increase.
Pressure & Temperature Relief
Valve
The Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve
is supplied loose with the water heater.
The valve rating is:
All Models – 1400kPa
The PTR valve must be installed directly
into the top socket marked “RELIEF
VALVE”. The drain line from this valve
must run in a continuously downward
direction in a frost-free ambient position
with the discharge end left open to
atmosphere permanently.
The PTR Valve is not intended to enable
connection of the water heater to
supplementary energy sources such as
solar panels or slow combustion stoves
(refer AS/NZS 3500.4 for guidance on
these types of installations).
Open the PTR Valve for approximately
10 seconds by lifting the lever on the
valve to ensure water is relieved to waste
through the relief drain pipe. Lower lever
gently and check that it closes correctly.
Warning:
We recommend that you
open the PTR valve at least once every
6 months. Failure to do this may result in
problems with the water heater.
The PTR Valve must not be tampered
with or removed. The water heater must
not be operated unless this valve is
fitted and in working order.
The PTR Valve should be checked for
adequate performance or replaced at
intervals not exceeding 5 years, or less
in areas where local regulations apply.
Important:
The PTR Valve and its
drain outlet pipe must not be sealed or
blocked. It is normal for the PTR valve
to leak a small amount of water during
heating cycles.
