INSTALLATION 

12 

 

SAFE TRAY 

Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking, the water heater must be installed in 
a  safe  tray.  Construction,  installation  and  draining  of  a  safe  tray  must  comply  with  AS/NZS 3500.4  and  all  local 
codes  and  regulatory  authority  requirements.  AS/NZS 3500.4  also  has  particular  requirements  when  a  safe  tray 
must be installed. 
 

FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS 

Fire resistant materials should comply with the requirements of AS 5601 Appendix C. If in doubt, seek advice from 
your material supplier or your local regulator. 

INDOOR INSTALLATION 

The correct draft diverter must be fixed to the top of the water heater (Refer 
to “

Hood Conversion

” on page 15) and connected to a properly constructed 

flue,  to  discharge  the  combustion  products  outside  the  building.  The  flue 
must be self supporting and not impose a load on the water heater. Use a 
slip joint or similar to allow for disconnection and to enable the water heater 
top  panel  and  draft  diverter  to  be  removed  for  servicing.  There  must  be  a 
vertical rise of 600 mm from the draught diverter before changing direction. 
The flue design and installation must comply with AS 5601. 

NOTE

: Reduction of the flue diameter or alteration to the draft diverter may 

void the water heater warranty. 

The water heater  is to be installed at ground or floor level and must stand 
vertically upright. There are also special requirements in AS 5601 for water 
heaters  installed  in  a  garage,  an  enclosed  space  and  other  locations. 
Remember all local authorities have regulations about putting water heaters 
into roof spaces. 

CLEARANCES (INDOOR INSTALLATIONS) 

The distances set out in the following table should be observed.

The normal water heater design is with the water pipe entry from the left hand side. For servicing purposes allow at 
least 750mm in front of the water heater for burner tray removal. 

COMBUSTION / VENTILATION AIR  

Indoor  model  water  heaters  must  be  installed  in  a  protective  enclosure  or  properly  constructed  plant  room  with 
adequate ventilation in accordance with AS 5601. 

Ideally ventilation shall be via two permanent openings DIRECTLY to outside, one at an upper level and one at low 
level.
