WARNING
This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical, sensory or mental disability, or
by persons lacking experience or knowledge, unless they have received from a person in charge of their safety
adequate supervision or preliminary instructions on how to use the device. Care must be at all time to keep
children from playing with the device.
CAUTION
Heavy item, handle with care
•Install the appliance in a room that is protected from frost. If the appliance is damaged because the TPR
valve safety device has been blocked, it is not covered by the warranty.
•If the appliance is to be fitted in a room or location where the ambient temperature is higher than 35˚C,
sufficient ventilation must be provided.
•It is compulsory to fit a drip tray below the water heater if mounted in a suspended ceiling, under a roof
or above living areas. Position the appliance where it can be accessed.
•Make sure that the wall on which the appliance is mounted can support the weight of the appliance
when filled with water.
•This device is intended for use at a maximum altitude of 3000m.
•When installed in a bathroom, do not install in volume V1 or V2 as shown in the diagram on page 3

Installation
Installation must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4.2 and all local codes.
The clearance required needs to be adequate for service/replacement
of cold water inlet piping devices, TPR valve and tempering valve,
elements and thermostats. This may be facilitated by correct orientation
of the cover positions when installing. There are no operational clearance
limitations to surrounding structure. TPR valve removal requires up to
approximately 170-200mm for withdrawal. If the Atlantic Plumbing Cover
(shown to the right) is to be used for aesthetic purposes, please allow 300mm.
Combustible Material
It is recommended not to place combustible material on or adjacent to the water heater.

Hydraulic Connection
Before making the hydraulic connection, it is essential to clean the feed pipes thoroughly to avoid the risk of metal
or other particles entering the tank or water heater.
Mandatory installation of a safety TPR valve in a frost free location (or any other new device which limits the tank
pressure) to 850kPa according to the nominal pressure, with a size of ¾” on the input of the water heater,
respecting the local regulations.
Regularly operate the discharge of the TPR valve to prevent scaling and check that it is not blocked.
The pipes used must support MPa (10 bar) and 100˚C.
Cold Water Inlet
Cold water piping should be provided with a 350-500kPa pressure limiting valve at the point of cold water
connection to the water heater. In addition to the pressure limiting valve, it is a requirement of AS3500.4 and
NZBC G12 that both an isolating valve and a line strainer are installed upstream of the water heater. A non-return
relief valve must be fitted upstream of the pressure relief/cold water expansion valve.
No parts (stop valve, pressure reducer, etc) must be placed between the pressure relief/cold water expansion
valve and the cold water inlet of the water heater, apart from a copper pipe. Ref. AS/NZ 3500.4, 5.9.4 (e) and (f)
G12 6.6.6.
Note: Since limited water discharge from the pressure relief valve is normal in the heating operation, the discharge
pipe needs to be connected to an external drain.
