1. Electric water heater should be mounted on a firm wall. If the wall is not
robust enough to hold the weight equal to the doubled weight of the overall
water heater weight, fully filled with water, then it should be mounted on a
special support.
2. After you chose the proper place to install the water heater, determine
points for holes for expansion hook bolts (to be determined in accordance
with the data sheet for the appliance you chose). Drill two holes of the
corresponding depth in the wall using a drill, dimensionally fit for expansion
bolts, enclosed with the water heater, insert bolts, turn the hook upwards,
securely tighten nuts and then hang the electric water heater on these
hooks.
To mount ME1 series water heater, fix a securing plate on a wall and hang
the water heater on it (Fig. 10 b).
3. Fix a power outlet to the wall. Requirements to the outlet are as follows:
230V/10A, single-phase, three-wired. It is recommended to place the
outlet on the right side above the water heater.
NOTE:
Please, use accessories, provided by the
manufacturer, to install the water heater. Electric
water heater must not be mounted on a wall prior
you make sure that the bracket is installed firmly and
securely. Otherwise the electric water heater may fall
down from the wall, which may cause its damage and
even serious accidents involving bodily injury. When
determining points for bolt holes, it is necessary to
provision some spare space between the lower part
of the water heater and the floor, and as to the ME1
10 VO/ME1 10 VU line there also must be some
space between the right side (or left side for ME1
10 VU) of the water heater and the wall on the right,
not less than 0.6 m to make it convenient to perform
maintenance if necessary.

Water heater mounting
NOTE:
In places or on the wall, where there may be a water
contact, the power outlet installation height must be
not less than 1.8 m.
Connection to water main
1. The heater must be connected to water main with at least 0.1 MPa
pressure; maximum pressure is 0.7 MPa.
Fig. 5
NOTE:
The water heater is the appliance, operating in such
a manner that pressure of water in the water heater
corresponds to the pressure of water in water main.
If pressure in the main exceeds 0.7 MPa, then it is
necessary to mount a pressure reducer before the
water heater so that pressure doesn’t exceed 0.7 MPa.
2. G1/2 diameter pipes are used to connect the water heater to the water
pipeline.
3. To prevent a leakage when connecting pipes, use rubber sealing gaskets
on the threaded pipe ends.
4. Screw a relief valve to the inlet nozzle, marked blue and embossed arrow
of the water flow direction, so that the water flow direction coincides with
direction of the arrow on the valve’s case.
