SUPPLEMENTARY ENERGY SUPPLIES – CONSIDER THE TPR VALVE RATING
The standard TPR valve that is fitted to the tank is rated at 10 kW. Supplementary energy supplies giving a combined total
heat input in excess of 10 kW including the electric booster should not be fitted to the water heater unless the TPR valve is
replaced with another of a larger capacity.
TEMPERATURE LIMITING DEVICES
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. This water heater can deliver hot water at
temperatures up to 75°C during normal operation, and on occasion up to 95°C, These temperatures are sufficiently hot to
cause severe scalding. Water at this temperature may be plumbed to fixtures where water hotter than 50°C is allowed, such
as the kitchen and laundry.
The installing plumber may have a legal obligation to ensure the installation of this water heater meets the water
temperature delivery requirements of the Plumbing Code of Australia, or other plumbing codes applicable in the area, so
that heated water delivered to fixtures and appliances used primarily for personal hygiene is at a temperature which is
unlikely to scald.
It is necessary and we recommend that a temperature limiting device be fitted between the water heater and the fixtures and
appliances used primarily for personal hygiene such as in a bathroom, ensuite, public amenities or other ablution areas, to
reduce the risk of scalding. Refer to plumbing codes applicable in the area to see if a temperature limiting device is
required for this installation for the supply of hot water from the solar water heater.
The temperature limiting device must be of a type suitable for use with a solar water heater. Refer to the manufacturer’s
specifications of the temperature limiting device.
For safety reasons Solahart recommends the fitment of a temperature limiting device in all instances. A temperature
limiting device is not covered by the Solahart warranty.
EXTERNAL PIPE INSULATION
Refer to local plumbing codes (e.g. AS/NZS 3500.4) for the requirement for insulation of external pipe work.
Solahart recommends:
•
That all hot water pipe work from the water heater should have closed cell insulation of minimum 13 mm thickness.
Thicker insulation may be required on external pipes to comply with the energy efficiency requirements of AS/NZS
3500.4 in certain regions. Insulation should be suitable for the temperature of operation (i.e. at least 90
⁰
C for hot water
supply pipes).
•
Where potable water piping is in an external location or attic space where the temperature can be as low as -7°C
(18°F) it should be insulated with a minimum 19mm closed cell insulation; where the temperature can fall to -11°C
(12°F) the insulation thickness should be increased to 38mm.
•
Insulation in external locations should be weatherproof and resistant to UV radiation.
•
Insulation will protect against burns where the water heater is in a trafficable location.
STOVE COIL BOOSTERS
Manually fed boosters such as stove coils, back boilers or coils in open fired grates are not permitted to be connected to
Solahart water heaters unless the storage cylinder is open vented. Such auxiliary energy sources must not be connected into
the closed circuit. In Australia, refer to AS/NZS 3500.4 for additional information. Refer also to your local water authority
requirements for details of vent design, header tank and reduction valves.
IN-SERIES GAS BOOSTING
Refer to the installation manual provided with the booster.
PACKING, STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
All Thermosiphon products are to be kept in the original packaging materials and should be transported or stored in the
vertical position - note there is an arrow to indicate the ‘UP’ direction for Tanks. They may be stored horizontally in the
correct orientation, as shown on the packaging, if handled carefully with correct lifting equipment.
SYSTEM DECOMMISSIONING
Decommissioning of the system should be undertaken by an installer or suitable qualified plumber and / or electrician (if
required). All materials used in this product can be passed to your local material recycling centre for disposal - refer to
local council regulations for details.
