WATER HEATER LOCATION
The water heater should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and
its position chosen with safety and service in mind. Make sure people
(particularly children) will not touch the flue terminal. The flue terminal must be
clear of obstructions and shrubbery.
Clearance must be allowed for
servicing of the water heater. The water
heater must be accessible without the
use of a ladder or scaffold.
Make sure the temperature pressure
relief valve lever is accessible and the
access cover, top panel and burner can
be removed for service. Remember you
may have to remove the entire water
heater later for servicing.
The water heater is to be installed at ground or floor level on a stable fireproof
base as acceptable to local authorities. The water heater must also stand
vertically upright with the back of the water heater against or within 25 mm of
an external wall or alternatively against a fireproof screen extending at least
500 mm above, below and either side the flue terminal. Failure to observe this
precaution can cause problems in high wind areas.
A secondary flue is not required.
It is recommended to secure the water heater to the wall. The top of the unit is
to be secured to the wall or screen using the wall bracket provided. Use the
M6.5 masonry anchor provided only if it is suitable for the wall or screen type.
Otherwise select and use an alternative fastener suitable for the application.
Refer to “Wall Bracket” on page 30.
Note: If the base of the water heater is higher than the lowest hot water outlet by
2 m or more, the tank may be subject to a negative pressure (partial vacuum)
which can cause damage to the water heater cylinder. In this instance, an
approved vacuum break valve (RMC AV50A or equivalent) must be installed at
the highest point in the hot water line.
Note: Damage to the cylinder caused by incorrect installation is not covered by
the Rheem warranty.
The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere
where chemicals are stored or where aerosol propellants are released.
Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes through a flame,
chemical changes take place which may attack the water heater.
