This water heater must be installed by a licensed person as required by 
the Victorian Building Act 1993. 
Only a licensed person will give you a Compliance Certificate, showing that

WARNING: Plumber – Be Aware 
• 
The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank and 
the solar collectors MUST BE of copper and fully insulated with closed 
cell polymer insulation or similar (minimum thickness 13 mm). Thicker 
insulation may be required to comply with the requirements of 
AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if 
exposed. All compression fittings must use brass or copper olives. 
Note: Failure to observe this requirement may void the warranty for 
freeze damage. 
• 
Plastic pipe MUST NOT be used, as it will not withstand the temperature 
and pressure of the water generated by the solar collectors under 
stagnation conditions. The solar collectors can generate extremely high 
water temperatures up to 150
°C and high water pressure of 1000 kPa. 
Plastic pipe cannot withstand these temperatures and pressures and 
MUST NOT be used. Failure of plastic pipe can lead to the release of 
high temperature water and cause severe water damage and flooding. 
38. 
• 
A non return valve MUST BE installed on the cold water line to the solar 
storage tank AFTER the cold water branch to a temperature limiting 
device. Due to the higher water temperatures generated under certain 
conditions in the solar collectors of this solar water heater, an additional 
effective back-flow prevention device also should be used as an extra 
safeguard. Valve manufacturer RMC recommends Dual Check Valve 
model N7150, as being suitable for this application.
