Installation Details
Outdoor Tank Installation
The water heater must be installed
outdoors, with the minimum clearances
as shown in the gure below.
We recommend a plinth be installed
under the water heater where the
water heater is subjected to wet
conditions.
Minimum clearance around the windows
and doors must be maintained – refer to
AS 5601.
Location
The water heater should be located as
close as possible to the most frequently
used hot water outlet. Ensure that the
data label is clearly visible and that there
is adequate access for servicing the unit.
Note: All models are equipped with a
sacricial anode, accessible through the
top cover. Allow 50% of the height of
the water heater for clearance above to
replace the anode.
A properly drained overow tray must
be used where property damage
could occur from water spillage. (See
AS/NZS3500.4.2 for further details).
Warranty does not cover consequential
damage due to heater leakage.
The water heater should be installed
OUTDOORS with the minimum
clearances as shown in the gure below.
The water heater should be installed
on a level, reproof plinth at least
50mm above the surrounding ground
level. Position the two wall brackets
25 mm below the lip of the lid and
secure them so that they are protruding
approximately 10mm beyond the back
of the heater. Position the unit in place
and secure the brackets to the wall (as
per gure below).
