■”Precautions during installation of pipes”
○Do not use pipes made of materials that may introduce rust for the water supply pipe. In general, VP pipes or other materials
specified by regulations in that particular region, are recommended for installation.
○In general, Type L deoxidized copper pipes are recommended for hot water pipes.
○In general, the same diameter and same pressure is recommended for hot water pipes and water supply pipes.
○Always use a reamer to deburr the ends of cut pipes.
○Avoid using inverted U-shaped pipes (siphon) as these can cause air to become trapped.
○Always connect hot water and water supply pipes after removing all contaminants such as dirt, sand and oil.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause problem.
○Ensure that the drain pipe is installed at a gradient of 1/50 for a diameter of φ75 or less, or 1/100 for a diameter of φ75
or more.
○Do not connect the hot water and water supply pipes in reverse.
Connecting pipes in reverse will mean the temperature of water cannot be controlled properly by the water faucet,
which can cause problems including burns.
○Ensure that the hot water pipe from boiler is only run over a short distance so as to minimize resistance.
Longer pipe can cause fluctuations in temperature and poor hot water delivery.
