ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

WATER HEATER APPLICATION

This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.

MODEL TYPE

The Rheem

®

continuous flow gas water heater model you have chosen is for outdoor installation only. This model has an extended manufacturer’s warranty (refer to the Rheem warranty on page 83).

The water heater has a maximum preset outlet temperature setting of:

874 series

876 series

Notes:

70°C

48°C

The 876 series water heater is marked “THIS APPLIANCE DELIVERS WATER NOT EXCEEDING 50°C

IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3498” on the front panel. This model;

„

must not be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.

„

must not be installed with a Water Star water heater as water temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the system.

The 874 series of water heater may be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater. For information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.

When installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, the

874 series water heater:

„ can deliver water at temperatures up to 70°C to 80°C for a

Premier Loline and Loline pumped system and a Hiline thermosiphon system and possibly higher temperatures from a

Premier Hiline thermosiphon system.

„ during periods of low solar energy gain, will boost the water temperature automatically to its preset outlet temperature setting.

MAINS PRESSURE

The water heater is designed for direct connection to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds that shown on page 47, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted. The supply pressure should be greater than 140 kPa for the rated flow and performance to be achieved.

WATER HEATER OPERATION

The water heater operates automatically, heating water as it passes through the water heater. When a hot tap is opened, the gas burners ignite to provide immediate heating of the water. The heat produced by the burner is transferred to the water through the heat exchanger. The water is heated to a constant temperature by the automatic adjustment of the gas supply to the burner to suit the water flow rate (refer to “Temperature

Control” on pages 11 to 40). The gas burners extinguish when the hot tap is closed.

Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and efficient operation.

REDUCED HOT WATER FLOW WHEN HEAT EXCHANGER IS COLD

At a cold start-up, i.e. when the water heater has not operated for some time (which is most often first thing in the morning), the initial flow of hot water may be reduced for a period of 5-10 seconds while the heat exchanger warms up. This is both an energy and water saving feature of this water heater. Once the heat exchanger has warmed up the hot water flow will increase and remain at normal flow levels. This feature will only occur at a cold start-up and not when the heat exchanger is already warm from a recent use of hot water.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

GAS BOOSTING FOR A SOLAR WATER HEATER

Water stored in the solar storage tank passes through the in-series gas booster when a hot tap is opened.

The in-series gas booster is for heating water at times of low solar energy gain, such as during cloudy or rainy weather, or during colder months.

Solar heated water can reach temperatures up to 70°C to 80°C for a Premier Loline and Loline pumped system and a Hiline thermosiphon system and possibly higher for a Premier Hiline thermosiphon system.

The in-series gas booster operates automatically. When the solar heated water temperature is 58°C or higher, the flow passes through the in-series gas booster without boosting. When the solar heated water temperature is below 58°C, the in-series gas booster heats the water to its preset outlet temperature setting.

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The water heater may be installed with one or more user adjustable temperature controllers, which allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your hot water needs (refer to “Temperature Control” on page 11).

If a controller is not installed, the water heater heats the water to the preset outlet temperature setting. The factory preset outlet temperature setting is: maximum Kitchen controller temperature setting 874 series maximum recommended supply temperature to bathrooms and ensuites. maximum Bathroom controller temperature setting 874 series

874 series 60°C

876 series 48°C maximum Kitchen and Bathroom controller temperature setting

876 series

Note: The preset outlet temperature setting of this water heater cannot be adjusted by the householder. The setting minimum Kitchen and Bathroom controller temperature setting can only be adjusted by the installer, Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.

Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy this AS 3498 requirement provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C, and that a remote temperature controller is not used.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

If this water heater is installed as part of a solar water heater system, the system can deliver water at temperatures from 58°C up to 80°C and possibly higher depending upon the model of solar water heater installed.

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.

We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when an 874 series water heater is installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will be reduced and if no controllers are installed or if a Kitchen controller is installed, still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.

An 876 series water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50°C, in accordance with AS 3498. There is no requirement in AS/NZS 3500.4 to fit a temperature limiting device if this water heater is installed in other than an early childhood centre, school, nursing home or a facility for young, aged, sick or disabled people.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

CONTROLLERS

The Rheem 874 and 876 series can be installed with Rheem controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater. There are two families of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard controllers and the Deluxe controllers.

Standard Controllers

There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853),

Bathroom1 controller (Rheem PN 299854) and the Bathroom2 controller (Rheem PN 299855). The standard controllers are suitable for use on all 874 and 876 series models.

The standard controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom1 controller) or ‘B2’

(Bathroom2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.

Deluxe Controllers

There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller (Rheem PN 299861),

PN 299863). The Deluxe controllers are suitable for use on all 874 and 876 series models.

The Deluxe controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen Deluxe controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom1 Deluxe controller) or ‘B2’ (Bathroom2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent to the BATH FILL VOLUME label.

The Deluxe controllers offer additional functions to the standard controllers. These are:

An assistance call function, which provides a voice prompt when pressed and will sound on all controllers. This is useful should a family member require assistance when in the bathroom.

A Bath Fill mode, which is designed to allow the water heater to deliver a selected volume of water at a selected temperature.

Bath filling takes place when the hot tap is opened. When the set volume has been delivered, the water flow from the water heater ceases. Refer to “Bath Fill Mode” on page 32.

Note: The bath level should be monitored periodically while this function is in use to avoid the possibility of the bath overflowing. The Bath Fill mode should also be used with caution until you are familiar with its operation.

Warning: Baths should not be left unattended whenever young children are present.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

Notes:

Where more than one controller is installed, the second or third controller must be of the same family.

A standard controller can only be installed with another standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller can only be installed with another Deluxe controller(s). A standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller(s) cannot be connected to the same water heater.

One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water heater.

A Bathroom2 controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 controller is installed and a Bathroom2

Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 Deluxe controller is installed.

Other manufacturers’ controllers are not suitable to and cannot be installed with this water heater.

WATER SUPPLIES

This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the Rheem warranty.

This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water supplies.

However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on the water heater and its operation and / or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry, you may be able to obtain information from your local water supply authority. This water heater should only be connected to a water supply which complies with these guidelines for the Rheem warranty to apply.

CHANGE OF WATER SUPPLY

The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a detrimental effect on the operation and / or life expectation of a heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, e.g. a rainwater tank supply, bore water supply, desalinated water supply, public reticulated water supply or water brought in from another supply, then water chemistry information should be sought from the supplier or it should be tested to ensure the water supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Rheem warranty to apply.

SATURATION INDEX

The saturation index (SI) is used as a measure of the water’s corrosive or scaling properties.

In a corrosive water supply, the water can attack copper parts and cause them to fail. Where the saturation index is less than –1.0, the water is very corrosive and the Rheem warranty does not apply to a copper heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

In a scaling water supply calcium carbonate is deposited out of the water onto any hot metallic surface.

Where the saturation index exceeds +0.80, the Rheem warranty does not apply to a copper heat exchanger in a continuous flow water heater.

Water which is scaling may be treated with a water softening device to reduce the saturation index of the water.

Refer to the Saturation Index chart on page 41.

41

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault, which is not related to manufacture or failure of a part (refer to “Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on page 83).

NO DISPLAY ON THE CONTROLLER

Is the controller turned on?

Press the on / off button (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40).

Is the water heater plugged in and the power outlet switched on?

Is power available in the house?

Try using another electrical appliance.

COLD WATER FROM THE HOT TAP

Is the controller turned on?

Press the on / off button (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40).

Close the hot tap, wait 10 seconds and open the hot tap again.

Is the hot tap open enough?

The burners will not light if the flow rate is less than 2.5 L / min.

Is the water heater plugged in and the power outlet switched on?

Is power available in the house?

Try using another electrical appliance.

Is the isolation valve in the gas line open?

Is there a gas supply to the rest of the house?

Try lighting another gas appliance.

Has the gas line been purged of air after installation?

Refer to your plumber.

WATER IS TOO HOT OR NOT HOT ENOUGH

Does the controller you are using have priority? (refer to “Temperature Control” on pages 11 to 40)

Note: For an 876 series water heater, 48°C is the maximum available temperature.

REDUCED HOT WATER FLOW WHEN HEAT EXCHANGER IS COLD

At a cold start-up, i.e. when the water heater has not operated for some time (which is most often first thing in the morning), the initial flow of hot water may be reduced for a period of 5-10 seconds while the heat exchanger warms up. This is both an energy and water saving feature of this water heater. Once the heat exchanger has warmed up the hot water flow will increase and remain at normal flow levels. This feature will only occur at a cold start-up and not when the heat exchanger is already warm from a recent use of hot water.

NO WATER FROM THE HOT TAP

No flow of water from the hot tap may indicate a restriction in or failure of the cold water supply to the water heater. Check for water flow at other taps and that the cold water isolation valve (refer to page 57 ) is fully open.

42

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

WATER FLOW FLUCTUATES

More than one or two hot taps in use at the same time may cause a decrease in the hot water flow from the taps. This can also be evident if the water heater has been installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater and the solar heated water is at a low temperature.

Are there more than one or two hot taps open, or are appliances such as a dishwasher or washing machine, in use at the same time?

Ensure only one or two hot taps (or appliance) are on at the one time.

Check the flow of the water from one tap, e.g. the shower.

The shower should be adjusted so the hot tap is fully open.

GAS BOOSTER OPERATING TOO FREQUENTLY

If the water heater is installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, you may find that the water heater operates more frequently than expected. This will occur when the solar heated water temperature is lower than 58°C, which may be experienced during periods of low solar energy gain or if there has been heavy hot water usage. Factors to consider are:

Hot tap not used recently

If a hot tap has not been used for a while, the water in the pipe work between the solar water heater and the in-series gas booster may have cooled down. The in-series gas booster will sense the cooler water and this will cause the burners on the water heater to ignite and boost the water temperature when a hot tap is first turned on. The burners will extinguish when solar heated water of 58°C or higher from the solar storage tank reaches the in-series gas booster (refer also to “Fan Continues to Run after Water

Heater Operation Stops” on page 43).

Insufficient sunlight

Insufficient sunlight due to cloudy weather during hotter months or low solar energy contribution in colder months may mean the in-series gas booster operates more often.

Collectors shaded

If trees or other objects shade the solar collectors or if the glass is dirty, the effectiveness of the solar collectors will be greatly reduced. Have the trees trimmed or the solar collectors relocated if the obstruction is permanent or clean the collector glass.

Ensure the glass on your solar collectors is free of dust, salt spray or any other matter, which may reduce the effectiveness of the solar collectors. If the collector glass becomes dirty, hose down or if the solar collectors are accessible, wash the collector glass with water and a soft brush when the solar collectors are cool.

Collector area is too small

For most installations, the number of solar collectors recommended in Rheem literature has been proven to provide the required solar energy to meet the average family needs. However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to install an additional solar collector.

Are you using more hot water than you think?

Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think?

Very often it is not realised the amount of hot water used, particularly when showering. Carefully review the family’s hot water usage. As you have installed an energy saving appliance, energy saving should also be practised in the home. Adjust your water usage pattern to take advantage of maximum solar gains.

Have your plumber install a flow control valve to each shower outlet, basin and sink to reduce water usage.

Water heater size

Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements?

The sizing guide in the sales literature and on the Rheem website ( www.rheem.com.au

) suggests average sizes that may be needed.

FAN CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER WATER HEATER OPERATION STOPS

It is the normal operation of the water heater for the fan to continue running after heating of the water is finished. The fan may run for up to six minutes after the burners extinguish, to prepare for the next ignition.

43

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

CLOUD S OF WHITE ‘VAPOUR’ FROM THE FLUE TERMINAL

During the heating cycle, it is not unusual to see water vapour clouds steaming from the flue terminal, particularly on cold days. This is normal operation of the water heater.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGING

A pressure relief valve is incorporated into the water heater controls.

This valve protects the water heater, by allowing water to escape, in the event of excessive pressure build up in the waterways.

Normal operation

A small volume of water may discharge from the bottom of the water heater when a hot tap is suddenly closed.

Continuous dribble

A continuous dribble may indicate the water supply pressure is above the design pressure for the water heater. If so, a pressure limiting valve must be installed on the cold water supply pipe to the water heater (refer to “Mains Water Supply” on page 47).

ERROR CODE

The water heater provides a diagnostic error code in the event of an interruption to its operation. The error code is displayed on the controller(s) (if installed) as a numerical value and on the OK MONITOR on the front of the water heater as a series of flashes. If an error code appears:

Close the hot tap, turn off the controller(s) and switch off the electrical supply to the water heater.

Check the gas isolation valve at the gas inlet to the water heater is fully open.

Wait 5 minutes, then switch on the electrical supply to the water heater, turn on a controller and open a hot tap.

If the error code persists, take note of the numerical code if a controller(s) is installed and the number of flashes on the OK

MONITOR, turn off the hot tap and turn off the controller(s). Phone

Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.

HIGHER THAN EXPECTED GAS BILLS

Should you at any time, feel your gas account is higher than expected, we suggest you check the following points:

Is one outlet (especially the shower) using more hot water than you think?

Carefully review the family’s hot water usage. Inexpensive flow control valves can be easily fitted to the shower outlets to reduce water usage.

Is the in-series gas booster operating too frequently?

Refer to “Gas Booster Operating Too Frequently” on page 43.

Has there been an increase in hot water usage?

An increase in hot water usage will result in an increase in water heater operation.

Has your water heating tariff rate been increased by your gas retailer since your previous account?

IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE,

PHONE RHEEM SERVICE OR THEIR NEAREST ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY.

THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.

Check the water heater is suitable for the gas type available.

(refer to the rating label on the water heater)

INSTALLATION STANDARDS

The water heater must be installed: by a qualified person, and in accordance with the installation instructions, and in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.

All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater, including the packing piece in the flue outlet, prior to its installation.

WATER HEATER APPLICATION

This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.

If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or business, then there should be redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason.

We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building backup redundancy into the hot water supply system.

The 874 series of water heater may be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater. For information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner’s Guide and

Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.

Note: The 876 series water heater is marked “THIS APPLIANCE DELIVERS WATER NOT EXCEEDING

50°C IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3498” on the front panel. This model;

must not be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.

must not be installed with a Water Star water heater as water temperature greater than 50°C can be delivered from the system.

Note: AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy this AS 3498 requirement provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C, and that a remote temperature controller is not used.

WATER HEATER LOCATION

The water heater should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind. If this water heater is part of a solar water heater system, it should also be installed close to the solar storage tank. Make sure people (particularly children) will not touch the flue terminal. The flue terminal and air inlet must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.

Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The water heater must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the entire front panel can be removed for service. You must be able to read the information on the rating plate. Remember you may have to take the entire water heater out later for servicing.

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

This water heater must be installed vertically upright with the water, gas and power connections on the underside, pointing toward the ground. The back of the water heater can be either against a wall or supported by a frame.

Note: The water heater must be well secured to the wall or frame using two fasteners each at the top and bottom of the unit (refer to page 53 for mounting hole positions and weight of the water heater). Use the screws provided only if they are suitable for the wall or frame type. Otherwise select and use alternative fasteners suitable for the application. The fasteners must be capable of bearing the full weight of the water heater so it may not work loose nor impose any load on the gas and water pipe work connected to the water heater.

Refer to the fastener manufacturer’s information and recommendations for the type of fastener to use for the wall or frame type and load bearing requirements.

Alternatively the water heater can be recessed into a wall (refer to “Recess Installation” on page 47).

For a single water heater installation, refer to the typical installation diagram on page 56.

For a dual water heater installation using the Ez-Link system, refer to “Ez-Link System Dual Installation” on page 60 and the typical installation diagram on page 64.

The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere where chemicals are stored or where aerosol propellants are released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes through a flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the water heater.

A secondary flue is not required. The water heater must not be installed indoors or in a confined space.

The water heater must be located to ensure that the location of the flue terminal complies with the requirements of AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local regulations. As a guide the following requirements are extracted from the Gas Installations Standard. The distances are measured along the wall behind the water heater.

At least 300 mm between the top of the flue terminal and the eaves.

At least 300 mm between the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building, such as an openable door or window, measured horizontally*.

At least 1500 mm between the top of the flue terminal and the edge of any opening into the building, such as an openable window, measured vertically.

At least 300 mm between the flue terminal and a return wall or external corner, measured horizontally*.

At least 1500 mm between the flue terminal and any opening into a building, in the direction of the flue discharge.

At least 500 mm between the flue terminal and a fence, wall or other obstruction, in the direction of the flue discharge.

Note: * If these horizontal distances cannot be achieved, AS/NZS 5601.1 states an equivalent horizontal distance measured diagonally from the nearest discharge point of the flue terminal to the opening may be deemed to comply. Check with the local regulator.

SAFE TRAY

Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking, the water heater must be installed over 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.

46

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

PIPE COVER

The pipe work to the water heater can be housed within a pipe cover. A pipe cover kit (PN 299841 – antique white models, 299838 – Joey grey (/J) models) is available for such an installation. Refer to the installation instructions which accompany the pipe cover kit.

RECESS INSTALLATION

The water heater can be installed recessed into a wall. A recess box (PN 299842) is available for such an installation. Refer to the installation instructions which accompany the recess box kit for information on its installation.

An additional rating label is supplied attached to the inside of the front cover of the water heater. This is for a service person to access the water heater details when required. The rating plate on the side of the water heater should be moved to or the information copied onto either the front panel of the water heater or to another position which is visible when the water heater is installed so the householder can access the water heater details when required.

FROST PROTECTION

The water heater has a frost protection system. The frost protection system will protect the water heater from damage, by preventing ice forming in the waterways of the water heater, in the event of freezing conditions occurring.

The frost protection system will be rendered inoperable if electrical power is not available at the water heater.

Damage to the water heater caused by freezing of the pipe work to or from the water heater is not covered under the Rheem warranty. Refer to AS/NZS 3500.4 for precautions to be taken for installations in frost prone areas. The water heater is not suitable for installation in areas where the ambient temperature falls below -20°C (including wind chill factor).

The cold water line to the water heater must be insulated with suitable thickness insulation if freezing conditions are likely to occur. The insulation must be fitted to the underside of the water heater and be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

Where the mains water supply pressure exceeds that shown in the table below, an approved pressure limiting valve that does not have non return valve characteristics (such as an RMC PSL series valve) is required and should be fitted as shown in the installation diagram (refer to page 56 ) .

Model 12 – 20

Relief valve setting 1750 kPa

Max. mains supply pressure 1000 kPa

Min. mains supply pressure * 140 kPa

* minimum water supply pressure required to achieve the rated flow and performance

Notes:

It is not recommended to install this water heater with a low pressure water supply.

A minimum water supply pressure of 140 kPa is required to achieve the rated flow and performance of the water heater.

If this water heater is installed as an in-series gas booster for a solar water heater, the maximum water supply pressure to the solar water heater, without an expansion control valve (ECV), is generally

800 kPa, however it may be less than this for some models. Refer to the Owner’s Guide and Installation

Instructions supplied with the solar water heater for maximum mains supply pressure details.

If sludge or foreign matter is present in the water supply, it is recommended a suitable filter be incorporated in the cold water line to the water heater.

This water heater is not suitable for connection to bore water or spring water unless a water treatment device is fitted.

Refer to “Water Supplies” on page 41 for further information on water chemistry.

47

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

HOT WATER DELIVERY

This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.

It is necessary and we recommend that a temperature limiting device be fitted between an 874 series water heater and the hot water outlets in any ablution and public areas such as a bathroom, ensuite or public amenities, to reduce the risk of scalding. The installing plumber may have a legal obligation to ensure the installation of this water heater meets the delivery water temperature requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 so that scalding water temperatures are not delivered to a bathroom, ensuite or other ablution or public area.

The temperature limiting device used with a continuous flow gas water heater should have: a specified ‘minimum temperature differential’ between the hot water inlet and the tempered water outlet of no greater than 10°C, and a specified ‘maximum permitted pressure variation’ in the supply between the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet of no less than 15%.

Refer to the specifications of the temperature limiting device.

Where a temperature limiting device is installed adjacent to the water heater, the cold water line to the temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the isolation valve and pressure limiting valve to the water heater.

If a pressure limiting valve is installed on the cold water line to the water heater and the cold water line to a temperature limiting device branches off before this valve or from another cold water line in the premises, then a pressure limiting valve of an equal pressure setting may be required prior to the temperature limiting device.

Two Temperature Zones Using a Temperature Limiting Device

An 876 series water heater will not deliver temperatures exceeding 50°C in accordance with AS 3498. There is no statutory requirement in AS/NZS 3500.4 to fit a temperature limiting device if this water heater is installed in other than an early childhood centre, school, nursing home or a facility for young, aged, sick or disabled people. Refer to “Water Temperature Diagrams” on page 52.

In-series gas booster for a Solar Water Heater

The temperature limiting device used with an 874 series in-series gas booster as part of a solar water heater installation must have the additional capability of receiving a hot water supply temperature of up to 99°C if the solar water heater does not have an over temperature protection system to limit the water to no greater than 90°C, such as the Rheem Premier Hiline thermosiphon closed circuit indirect system.

Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

48

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

Where a temperature limiting device is installed adjacent to the in-series gas booster, the cold water line to the temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the isolation valve and pressure limiting valve to the solar storage tank, but it MUST BE before the non return valve prior to an open circuit direct system. The cold water line to the temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the non return valve prior to a closed circuit indirect system. If an expansion control valve is required, it must always be installed after the non return valve and be the last valve prior to the solar storage tank.

Warning: 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 prior to an open circuit direct system. Due to the higher water temperatures generated under certain conditions in the solar collectors of an open circuit direct 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.

If a combination isolation valve and non return valve (duo or trio valve) is installed on the cold water line to an open circuit direct solar water heater and the cold water line to the temperature limiting device branches off after this valve, then a second non return valve must be installed between the cold water branch and the solar storage tank. Due to the higher water temperatures generated under certain conditions in the solar collectors of an open circuit direct pumped solar water heater, an effective back-flow prevention device should be used as the second non return valve as an extra safeguard. Valve manufacturer RMC recommends Dual Check Valve model N7150, as being suitable for this application.

If a pressure limiting valve is installed on the cold water line to the solar water heater and the cold water line to a temperature limiting device branches off before this valve or from another cold water line in the premises, then a pressure limiting valve of an equal pressure setting may be required prior to the temperature limiting device. from solar storage tank to solar storage tank

INSTALLATION – WATER HEATER

CIRCULATED HOT WATER FLOW AND RETURN SYSTEM

A Rheem 874 series continuous flow water heater can be installed as part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building.

Notes: the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater must be set to at least 60°C.

Water should not be circulated from a water heater with a temperature setting of less than 60°C. the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater should be set to 70°C if the water temperature decreases by more than 5°C through a circulated hot water flow and return system due to heat loss in the ring main. temperature controllers should not be installed with a water heater as part of a circulated hot water flow and return system, including when installed as part of an Ez-Link System dual installation.

The circulator must be: sized and set to provide a minimum flow rate of 3.0 L/min through the recirculated hot water flow and return system, and either thermostatically and / or timer controlled.

The circulator must not be set to operate continuously, i.e. 24 hours per day.

Warning: A Rheem 876 series continuous flow water heater must not be installed as part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building.

Temperature Limiting Device

A temperature limiting device cannot be installed in circulated hot water flow and return pipe work. The tempered water from a temperature limiting device cannot be circulated. Where a circulated hot water flow and return system is required in a building, a temperature limiting device can only be installed on a dead leg, branching off the circulated hot water flow and return pipe.

If circulated tempered water were to be returned back to the water heater, depending on the location of the return line connection on the water supply line to the water heater, then either: water will be supplied to the cold water inlet of the temperature limiting device at a temperature exceeding the maximum recommended water supply temperature, or when the hot taps are closed no water will be supplied to the cold water inlet of the temperature limiting device whilst hot water will continue to be supplied to the hot water inlet of the temperature limiting device.

These conditions may result in either water at a temperature exceeding the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 being delivered to the hot water outlets in the ablution areas, or the device closing completely and not delivering water at all, or the device failing. Under either condition, the operation and performance of the device cannot be guaranteed.

Cold (or Solar Preheat) and Hot Water and Gas Connection Details

It is essential all pipe connections be correctly aligned, otherwise component connections within the water heater may be strained and / or components themselves misaligned. It is recommended also, wherever possible, pipe connections be made at the water heater first and final pipe runs be made in soft copper pipe to allow some adjustment for misalignment.

Use the spanner flats on the water heater fittings and take care to avoid twisting the water inlet and outlet pipes inside the jacket.

The maximum supply temperature to the water heater when used as an in-series gas booster for a solar water heater is 80°C.

57

CONNECTIONS – PLUMBING

PIPE SIZES

The pipe sizing for hot water supply systems should be carried out by persons competent to do so, choosing the most suitable pipe size to ensure adequate flow for each individual application. Reference to the technical specifications of the water heater and local regulatory authority requirements must be made.

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 minimum recommended cold pipe or solar preheat pipe and hot pipe size is DN20.

IN-SERIES BOOSTER

The pipe work between the solar storage tank (if one is installed) and the in-series gas booster has a minimum recommended pipe size of DN20, MUST BE of copper and be fully insulated with a closed cell type insulation or equivalent in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4.

The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. The insulation must be fitted up to the connections on both the solar storage tank and the in-series gas booster. A full flow isolation valve must be installed on the water line to the in-series gas booster.

GAS INLET

The gas connection is made at the underside of the water heater. The pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before connection and purged before attempting to operate the water heater. An isolation valve and disconnection union must be installed to allow servicing and removal of the water heater (refer to the diagram on page 57).

Note: Refer to the Gas Installations Standard AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1 for the correct method of sizing the gas supply pipe to the water heater. The pipe size selection must take into account the high gas input of this water heater (refer to table on page 53 ) as well as all of the other gas appliances in the premises.

Warning: Always isolate the water heater before pressure testing the gas supply system. Disconnect the water heater after the isolation valve to prevent the risk of serious damage to the gas control. The Rheem warranty does not cover damage of any nature resulting from failure to observe this precaution. Refer to rating label for gas types and pressures.

58

CONNECTIONS – ELECTRICAL

All electrical work and permanent wiring must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the

Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.

Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (874 series) if it is installed as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and removed.

The water heater is supplied with a 1.8 metre lead and plug and requires a weatherproof 240 V 50 Hz general purpose outlet (GPO) to be located within 1.2 metres of the installation. The GPO must be clear of the flue exhaust, draining water, gas supply pipe and water connections.

EZ-LINK SYSTEM DUAL INSTALLATION

The EZ-Link™ system is designed to electronically control two continuous flow gas water heaters and have them operate as one. One or both water heaters may be in operation, depending upon the hot water demand. The second water heater will only operate when the hot water demand exceeds the capacity of the first water heater to supply.

The EZ-Link system is suitable for installation with Rheem 874 and 876 series 612, 616, E16, 618 and

620 model continuous flow gas water heaters. The Ez-Link Kit PN 290141 is required for the installation.

AGA label x 1

(121901)

The two continuous flow water heaters must be of the same model. The performance of two different model water heaters manifolded together cannot be guaranteed.

Rheem 874 and 876 series 612, 616, E16, 618 and 620 model water heaters do not require a temperature controller to be installed as part of an Ez-link system installation.

A temperature controller(s) may be installed with the EZ-Link system on an 874 and 876 series 612,

616, E16, 618 or 620 model dual installation. The controller can be either a standard or Deluxe controller.

If the preset outlet temperature of the water heater is set at greater than 60°C, the maximum outlet temperature of the water heater will be limited by the maximum temperature setting of the temperature controller, if one is installed.

Two 874 series 612, 616, E16, 618 or 620 model water heaters manifolded together with an Ez-Link system installed can be used as an in-series gas booster system to a solar water heater installation so long as a temperature controller is not installed.

Warning: Two continuous flow water heaters manifolded together with an Ez-Link system installed cannot be used as an in-series gas booster system to a solar water heater installation if a temperature controller is installed. Temperature controllers must not be fitted to a water heater as part of a solar water heater system because water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered.

60

EZ-LINK SYSTEM DUAL INSTALLATION

DUAL INSTALLATION

The two continuous flow water heaters can be installed side by side with minimal clearance between them.

The AGA has approved the installation of two of this model water heater with an exemption from the 300 mm minimum clearance requirements between flue terminals, as stated in AS/NZS 5601, clause 5.13.6.5 and

AS/NZS 5601.1, clause 6.9.3.

Install two continuous flow water heaters of the same model in a parallel plumbing arrangement. It is good practice, but not essential, to install the two water heaters in an Equa-Flow

®

manifold plumbing arrangement.

There are basic installation requirements which must be followed:

1. The pipe work must be sized to meet the requirements of both AS/NZS 3500.4 and the application. It is recommended to use minimum DN25 pipe for the cold water line, cold and hot headers and hot water line and DN20 for the cold and hot water branch lines of each water heater.

2. A full flow gate valve or ball valve must be installed on the cold water line to the system. A non return valve or stop tap must not be installed.

3. A full flow gate valve or ball valve (not a stop tap) should be installed on both the cold water branch and hot water branch of each water heater.

4. An isolation valve must be installed on the gas branch of each water heater.

5. Non return valves or pressure limiting valves must not be installed on the branch lines to the water heaters.

6. All fittings, valves and branch lines should be matched sets to each of the water heaters.

7. Sufficient space must be left to enable access, servicing or removal of either water heater.

Refer to the ‘Typical Two Unit Manifold with Ez-Link Connection’ diagram on page 64 for installation and plant layout details.

LABELS

A warning label (121109) and an AGA approval label (121901) are supplied in the Ez-Link kit. Where the two water heaters are installed close together and the warning label and AGA approval label on the inside face of the right hand water heater cannot be read, it is necessary to adhere the two labels supplied to the right-hand face of the water heater.

1. Place the warning label below the rating label.

2. Place the AGA approval label beside the barcode label.

Refer to the ‘Label Positioning’ diagram on page 61 for the position of the two labels to be adhered to the water heater.

A second rating label is attached to the inside of the front cover. This can be referenced to determine details of the left hand water heater.

Label Positioning

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

A temperature controller may be installed with the EZ-Link system. The controller can be either a standard or

Deluxe controller. Rheem 874 and 876 series 612, 616, E16, 618 and 620 model water heaters do not require a temperature controller to be installed as part of an Ez-link system installation.

Connect a temperature controller to one only of the two water heaters. Up to three temperature controllers of the same family can be installed to this water heater. Refer to “Installation – Controllers” on page 65.

The water heater connected with the temperature controller(s) will become the “master” water heater. The installed temperature controller(s) will control the temperature and functionality of both water heaters. The maximum outlet temperature of the water heaters will be limited by the maximum temperature setting of the temperature controller.

A temperature controller should not be installed if two 874 series 612, 616, E16, 618 or 620 model water heaters have been Ez-Linked together and they are part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building. Refer to “Circulated Hot Water Flow And Return System” on page 50.

CONTROLLERS

The Rheem 874 and 876 series can be installed with Rheem controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater.

There are two families of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard controllers and the Deluxe controllers.

Standard Controllers

There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853),

Bathroom1 controller (Rheem PN 299854) and the Bathroom2 controller (Rheem PN 299855).

The standard controllers are suitable for use on all 874 and 876 series models.

The standard controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom1 controller) or ‘B2’

(Bathroom2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.

Deluxe Controllers

There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller (Rheem PN 299861),

PN 299863).

The Deluxe controllers are suitable for use on all 874 and 876 series models.
