WATER INLET AND OUTLET 

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. 
 
A full flow gate valve or ball valve must be installed on 
the  cold  water  line  or  solar  preheat  water  line  to  the 
water heater. 

A non return valve or stop tap must not 

be  installed.

  An  acceptable  arrangement  is  shown  in 

the  diagram.  Refer  also  to 

“Hot  Water  Delivery”

  on 

page 17 and to 

“Mains Water Supply”

 on page 16. 

 
A  disconnection  union  must  always  be  provided  at  the 
cold  water  (solar  preheat)  inlet  and hot  water outlet  on 
the water heater to allow for disconnection of the water 
heater. 
 
Insulation  used  on  the  cold  and  hot  water  lines  must 
extend up to the cold water (solar preheat) inlet and hot 
water outlet of the water heater. 
 

Notes: 

 

It  is  essential  all  pipe  connections  be  correctly  aligned,  otherwise  component  connections  within  the 
water  heater  may  be  strained  and / or  components  themselves  misaligned.  It  is  recommended  also, 
wherever possible, pipe connections be made at the  water heater first and final pipe runs be made in 
soft copper pipe to allow some adjustment for misalignment. 

 

Use  the  spanner  flats  on  the  water  heater  fittings  and  take  care  to  avoid  twisting  the  water  inlet  and 
outlet pipes inside the jacket. 

 

The maximum supply temperature to the water heater when used as an in-series gas booster for a solar 
water heater should not exceed 80°C.
