REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be
insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS

SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the
water heater jacket, we recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a
maximum length of 12 mm. Should pre drilling be required, extreme caution
must be observed when penetrating the jacket of the water heater.
Note: Damage to the cylinder as a result of saddling to the jacket will void
the warranty.
