Notes
1. All pipe work must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4.
2. All solar system pipes must be ½" copper.
3. Pipes must be fully insulated with UV stabilized
insulation suitable for solar working temperatures,
e.g. Armaflex DuoSolar / Solar insulation.
4. Pipes from the solar collectors to the water storage tank
must have a minimum of 5° continuous fall, to allow the
water to easily drain out of the pipes.
5. A solar non return valve is supplied, and MUST be fitted
to the return from the collectors, as per the supplied
Installer’s Guide.

Installer’s Guide
• This Installer’s Guide and the
Owner’s Manual contain important
information about installation and use
of this water heater.
Note: For an easier
installation, please read this
document before you begin.
• Arrive at site, park vehicle as close as
allowable to installation, and conduct
a safety audit, also known as Work
Method Statements (WMS) or Job
Site Analysis (JSA).
• Prior to working at heights, it is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure
that all practices are compliant with
any relevant OH&S legislation.
Note: Do not commence a
job where the risks cannot be
controlled.
• Refer to local working at heights
regulations. NSW Ref: “Safe Work on
Roofs – Part 2 Residential” Code of
Practice 2004, Work Cover NSW.

• The existing tank (if applicable)
should be drained and removed in a
responsible manner.
Note: Do not drain on to grass
or garden beds.
• Safely position new storage tank on
a level surface in accordance with all
plumbing and building regulations.
Note: We recommend a plinth
be installed under the water
heater where the water heater
is subjected to wet conditions
• Refer to the section called “Rough
In Diagram” on page 1 for detailed
information on position of plumbing.
Note: Certain locations are
prohibited areas for ue
terminals. Refer to the section
called “Flue Clearances” on
page 29 for detailed information
on the ue clearances
required by AS 5601 Gas

• Using correct plumbing methods,
connect the cold water pipe to the
storage tank.
• It is mandatory to t the following
items between the supply main and
the RP¾"/20mm socket in the water
heater: an isolating valve, a non
return valve, a line strainer, a union.
• All ttings must be approved by the
relevant Authority and in accordance
to the plumbing code.
• We recommend the use of new valves
for all Installation. Refer to plumbing
code and/or local requirements.
• The hot water line should be
connected to the hot water outlet.
Note: All solar system pipes
and ttings must be DR
brass and copper, including
collector compression ttings
(as supplied). No plastic pipes
or ttings.
• Flow and return lines must be
installed as direct as possible
between tank and collector.

• Pipes must be fully insulated with
UV stabilized insulation suitable for
solar working temperatures. We
recommend Armaex DuoSolar /
Solar insulation, minimum 13mm
thick (or as per local regulations).
Note: Warranty will be void
if this minimum insulation
requirement is not used.
• It is critical to stop any chance of an
air lock developing, so ensure that:
– no pipework is higher than the air
bleed valve
– ow and return pipes from the solar
collectors to the water storage tank
have a minimum of 5° continuous fall
– pipes have no high points that
allow air to be trapped
– the minimum number of bends in
the pipes are used.
• Flow and return lines should be
neatly installed and hidden inside the
roof cavity if possible.
• Take care when running ow
and return lines through the roof,
cladding and the eaves.
Note: Where roof and
the eaves are made from
asbestos, specialised handling
and advice is necessary.

Solar Collector Alignment
• For the most efcient solar gain, the
collectors must be aligned ±45° from
true north (i.e. north west to north
east). See Collector Orientation
Compass below.
Solar Collector Inclination
• For the most efcient solar gain, the
collectors must be inclined within
10° to 45° from horizontal. See
Collector Inclination Guide right.

• Inspect ttings after collectors are
pressurized with water.
Critical: Fittings must be as
tight as possible.
Warning: Only pressurize the
the collectors for inspection
and de-pressurize them
immediately after inspection.
Critical: Do not leave
collectors pressurised for
longer than 24 hours.
• To prevent damage, collectors
should be left pressurised only when
connected to the storage tank with
appropriate pressure relief valves.
• Collectors can be located a maximum
of 20 metres (with minimal bends)
from the storage tank if pipe layout is
simple.
Note: For more energy
efciency, locate the
collectors as close as
possible to the tank
• This system is suitable for 2 storey
homes.
