LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SIDE WATER CONNECTIONS 
The cold water supply, hot water supply and temperature pressure relief valve 
can be connected to either side of a water heater with both left and right hand 
side water connections. A kit is supplied with the water heater to plug off the 
unused cold, hot and temperature pressure relief valve fittings. The kit contains: 
 
Model 050 
2 x ¾” brass plugs 
1 x ½” brass plug 
2 x large plastic insulation caps 
1 x small plastic insulation cap 
 
Plugging Off Unused Connections – 050 model 

• 

Apply approved sealing tape or compound to the thread of each plug. 

• 

Fit a ¾” plug to each of the unused cold water and hot water fittings and the 
½” plug to the unused TPR valve fitting. Tighten the plugs. 

• 

Fit a plastic insulation cap over each plug. 

 
PIPE SIZES 
To achieve true mains pressure operation, the cold water line to the water 
heater should be the same size or bigger than the hot water line from the water 
heater. 
 
The pipe sizing for hot water supply systems should be carried out by persons 
competent to do so, choosing the most suitable pipe size for each individual 
application. Reference to the technical specifications of the water heater and 
local regulatory authority requirements must be made. 
 
RELIEF VALVE 
The temperature pressure relief valve is shipped either under the top flap of the 
water heater carton or behind the front cover or in a plastic bag attached to the 
water heater. The temperature pressure relief valve must be fitted before the 
water heater is operated. Before fitting the relief valve, make sure the probe 
has not been bent. Seal the thread with Teflon tape - never hemp. Make sure 
the tape does not hang over the end of the thread. 
 
Where an insulation collar is supplied with the temperature pressure relief 
valve, this must be placed over the body of the valve, prior to fitting the valve to 
the water heater (refer to the
