5.4 Water connection

The water heater connections for the inlet and outlet of water

are colour-coded. The inlet of cold water is marked with blue

colour, while the hot water outlet is marked with red colour.

The water heater can be connected to the water supply in two

ways. The closed-circuit pressure system enables several

points of use, while the open-circuit gravity system enables a

single point of use only. The mixer taps must also be installed in

accordance with the selected installation mode.

▶ Identify the piping for hot and cold water, in order to avoid

a possible swop (Fig. 7).

Fig. 7

[1] Cold water inlet (right hand side)

[2] Hot water outlet (left hand side)

In a closed, pressurized system ( Fig. 8) pressurised mix

taps should be used at the outlet points. To ensure safe

operation of the heater a safety valve should be installed on the

inlet pipe to prevent elevation of pressure for more than 0.1

MPa (1 bar) above the nominal pressure. The outlet opening on

the safety valve must be equipped with an outlet for

atmospheric pressure. The heating of water in the heater

causes the pressure in the tank to increase to the level set by

the safety valve. As the water cannot return to the water supply

system, this can result in dripping from the outlet of the safety

valve. The drip can be piped to the drain by installing a catching

unit just below the safety valve. The drain installed below the

CAUTION: Appliance fall!

▶ Use sleeves and hooks (according with

the type of wall) to fix the bracket that

can hold the appliance with the tank full.

CAUTION: Damage to appliance

connections through contact corrosion!

▶ Use galvanized insulators in your water

connections. These will avoid galvanic

electric currents between the hydraulic

link metals and, consequently corrosion

of these.

NOTICE: Material damage!

▶ Install a filter at the water inlet in areas

where the water contains particles or

sediments.

It is recommended:

▶ to purge the system before appliance

installation, the existence of sand can

cause a reduction in flow or even cause a

total obstruction.

Installation

Tronic – 6 720 884 457 (2018/02)

safety valve outlet must be piped down vertically and placed in

an environment that is free from the onset of freezing

conditions.

To avoid water dripping from the safety valve, an expansion

tank should be installed on the inlet pipe of the heater with the

capacity of at least 5% of the heater volume.

To ensure proper operation of the safety valve, periodical

inspections must be carried out to remove limescale and make

sure the safety valve is not blocked. To check the valve, open

the outlet of the safety valve by turning the handle or

unscrewing the nut of the valve (depending on the type of the

valve). The valve is operating properly if the water comes out of

the nozzle when the outlet is open.

An open-circuit, non-pressurised system (Fig. 9) requires the

installation of a non-return valve at the water inlet to prevent

water draining out from the tank in the event of the water

supply running dry. This installation mode requires the use of

an instantaneous mixing tap.

As the heating of water expands its volume, this causes the tap

to drip. The dripping cannot be stopped by tightening it further;

on the contrary, the tightening can only damage the tap.

▶ Use the appropriate connection accessories to do the

hydraulic connection to the appliance.

The heater can be connected to the domestic water supply

network without a pressure-reducing valve if the pressure in

the network is lower than the nominal pressure. If the pressure

in the network exceeds the nominal pressure, a pressure-

reducing valve must be installed.

In the case of freezing:

▶ Switch off the appliance.

▶Purge the appliance ( Chapter 6.5).

Safety valve

No closing valve may be built-in between the

water heater and return safety valve,

because with it the pressure protection

would be impeded!

DANGER:

▶ Install a safety valve at the water inlet of

the appliance (Fig. 8).

NOTICE:

NEVER OBSTRUCT THE PURGE OUTLET OF

THE SAFETY VALVE.

Never install any accessory between the

safety valve and the cold-water inlet (right

hands side) of the appliance.

to separate all poles from the power supply network in

accordance with the national regulations.

Fig. 10 Removing the protective cover

If the pressure at the cold water inlet is

superior to that of 80% of the maximum

pressure of the appliance at, ie: 6,4 bar:

▶ Install a reducing valve (Fig. 8).

The safety valve will trigger every time the

water pressure in the appliance exceeds 6,4

bar. A facility for draining the expelled water

must be provided.

DANGER:

By electrical discharge!

▶ Before working on the electrical

components, firstly cut the power,

(fuse, circuit breaker or other).
