REGULATIONS AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OH&S)
LOCATION
System Location
Select suitable areas of roof on which to install the solar collectors and cylinder. It is essential that
the roof structure is suitable for the solar collector/cylinder combination and can support the weight
of these items when full of water. It is the installers responsibility to ensure the roof can safely
support the system and to visually check the roof, and if there is any damage that requires attention
(such as cracked tiles etc.), to inform the owner. If this affects the safe installation of any part of the
system, installation should not proceed until the damage has been rectified. Collectors should be
positioned for optimum solar benefit. Refer to section “SYSTEM ORIENTATION AND
INCLINATION” on page 16 for more information.
All system components must be in an accessible location. Sufficient clearances shall allow access
to, and removal of, all serviceable parts. Ensure the PTR valve, drain lines, thermostat and elements
for electric systems have sufficient clearances and are accessible for service and removal. The
information on any data plates must also be readable.
All electrically boosted solar hot water heating elements must be connected to an independent,
fused, AC 240V 50 Hz power supply with an isolating switch installed at the switch board.
Gas Booster Location (where applicable)
The S20 & S26 gas booster are designed for 'Outdoor' Installation only. As such, it must be located
in an above ground open air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas
leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
If an internal model which has been converted to a solar gas booster follow information supplied with
the unit for location, mounting and flueing requirements.
Installation and commissioning must be performed by authorised persons.
Rinnai solar systems must be installed in accordance with these instructions
and all regulatory requirements which exist in your area including those in
relation to manual lifting, working at heights and on roofs. Applicable
publications and regulations may include:
• AS 5601 Gas Installations
• AS/NZS 3500 National Plumbing and Drainage
• AS/NZS 3000 Wiring rules
• Building Codes of Australia (BCA)
• Local Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) regulations
This appliance is not suitable for use as a domestic spa pool or swimming pool
heater.
Solar collectors and cylinders are heavy and bulky items and are usually
positioned on the roofs of buildings. Australian State and Territories have a
principal Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Act which contains
requirements relating to the handling of large, bulky or awkward items and the
prevention of falls from elevated surfaces. Persons installing solar collectors
must be aware of their responsibilities and be adequately trained and qualified,
in accordance with local OH&S requirements.
WATER PIPES
All hot water pipework should be insulated with sealed Polyethylene foamed or equivalent insulation
to optimise performance and energy efficiency. Such insulation may also be mandatory under local
regulations. With the exception of solar collector flow and return pipes, water pipe sizing should be
performed in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.
• The collector flow and return pipes must be a minimum of 1/2” copper tube or
alternative material pipe supplied by Rinnai. Plastic pipe must not be used
between collectors and cylinder or booster. Plastic pipe is not suited to the
high water temperatures and pressures that may occur in the collector flow
and return system.
