8.1 PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
8.1.1 Cold water supply outlet
• The cold water supply connection is a G 3/4” female thread.
• The cold water supply should be connected to G 3/4” socket.
• The cold water supply outlet can also act as a drainage point for emptying the system.
8.1.2 Hot water connection
• The hot water supply connection is a G 3/4” female thread.
• The hot water supply should be connected to G 3/4” socket.
•
minimum 13mm closed cell insulation.
• All hot water supply parts must be constructed from copper. If using pipe of other material
please refer to local authorities for further instructions.
8.1.3 Condensate Drain
• The process of heat extraction from the atmosphere through evaporator coils results in the
production of water in the form of condensation. More humid environments will produce
higher rates of condensation.
• To collect this water by-product a Condensate Tray is located on top of the water storage
• The system comes with a pre-installed condensate drain connection elbow. Drainage of
condensate from elbow to nearest storm water to be done by the collection into an open
dish and drained via copper piping.
• If not drained properly, the condensate line will attract termites as well produce algae and
moss growth.
• The Condensate line should be free of kinks and as and as the water is gravity fed, should

PLUMBING INSTALLATION
A PVC tube is supplied which can be used to bridge the air gap
between the condensate elbow and dishes. The PVC tube can also
be used to drain condensate directly from condensate elbow to a
storm water drainage point, if copper drainage is not required by local
council regulations.
Connecting any pressurised line to the condensate without an gap will
void warranties.
Warning about possible dangers.
The hot and cold water inlets are fitted with plastic dielectric
nipples to prevent the accumulation of dead water or debris in
the threads. These nipples must not be removed and should be
installed on both the hot water outlets.
