FIXING THE WATER STORAGE HEATER IN PLACE
When full of water the heater has a substantial mass. It must be secured firmly in
place to prevent damage to the heater and pipework or to the supporting
structure, from the effects of rough weather or other shocks of marine use.
1.
Support the WEIGHT on a strong base
2
Support the MASS against horizontal forces
The exact method you use to hold the heater in place will depend on the
construction of the vessel and on the available space.
Some suggested installation methods are indicated below.
VERTICAL MODELS
1 litre of water
weighs 1 kg
Locate the heater on a firm level base strong enough to
support at least twice the weight of the (full) heater
Either: construct suitable supports to hold the heater in
place
