PLUMBING
All plumbing work must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the requirements of the
Standard AS/NZS 3500.4, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand, the
installation must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code.
All gas work must be carried out by a qualified person and in compliance with the Standard AS 5601 or
AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations, and all local codes and regulatory authority
requirements. In New Zealand the installation must also conform with NZS 5261, as applicable under local
regulations.
It is necessary to remove the pipe cover (if attached) from underneath the gas booster, by undoing the
retaining screws, in order to make the water and gas connections to the water heater. Refit the pipe cover at
the completion of the installation.

WATER INLET AND OUTLETS
All pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before
connection and purged before attempting to operate the
water heater. All olive compression fittings must use brass
or copper olives. Use thread sealing tape or approved
thread sealant on all fittings.
An isolation valve and non return valve must be installed
on the cold water line to the water heater. An acceptable
arrangement is shown in the diagram. Refer also to
on page 22. The plumbing arrangements for the cold water
inlet, tempered water and hot water outlets are shown on
page 37. The solar hot and solar cold pipe connections are
shown on page 40.
A disconnection union must always be provided at the cold
water inlet, tempered water and hot water outlets on the
water heater to allow for disconnection of the water heater.
It is necessary to remove the brass plug from the hot water
outlet fitting if a hot water line is to be installed. This plug
can be used to plug the tempered water outlet if a
tempered water line is not being installed. Refer to the
diagram for the connection points to the water heater.
Insulation used on the tempered water and hot water lines
must extend up to the outlets of the water heater. The
valve and fittings must also be insulated up to the hot
water outlet of the gas booster.
