● Follow the same recommendations as for the
vertical wall-mounted water heater. Handles are
also provided here.
● IMPERATIVE: For a floor attachment, move
the two stirrups and screw them together so that
the hydraulic connections are perpendicular to
the floor. Provide a minimum packing of 300 mm
so that the safety unit and drainpipe can be cor-
rectly positioned.
● For a ceiling attachment the use of the strap kit
provided for this purpose (optional accessory) is
compulsory; refer to its specific manual.
INSTALLING A VERTICAL WATER HEATER ON A PEDESTAL (VS)
● The heater is placed on the ground with shoes fixed under its base. No
wall attachment is needed.
● A heightening frame may be fixed under the heater to leave space for the
pipes (H: 220 mm - optional accessory).
Specific installation for a bathroom (France)
Water connections
■ TUBES ON THE HEATER
Water connections must be made to the water heater in accordance with standards and regu-
lations in force in the country in which it will be installed (for France, use D.T.U. 60.1).
● Each tube is a ø 20/27 (50 L to 300 L) steel pipe with gas pitch threaded end.
● The cold water inlet is marked by a blue collar, and the hot water outlet is marked by a red
collar.
● Red and blue end pieces are inserted in the connecting tubes and must be kept when
connecting to the pipes.
■ CONNECTIONS TO TUBING
● The nature of the connecting tubes may be rigid, usually copper (black steel is prohibited) or flexi-
ble (standard flexible stainless steel braid).
● If copper pipes are used, the connection to the hot water outlet must be made using a cast iron
or steel coupling, or an insulating connector in order to prevent corrosion of the tubes (direct steel-
copper contact). The use of brass fittings is prohibited in this location.
●
Storage water heaters must be placed in volume 3 and outsi-
de the other volumes (NFC 15100).
However, if the dimensions of the bathroom do not allow to
place them here, it is possible to install them :
- in volume 2,
- in volume 1, if the water heater is of the horizontal type and pla-
ced as high as possible and if the two following conditions are
complied with :
- the water pipes are made of conductive material
- the water heater is protected by a differential-residual current circuit breaker set to a maximum of 30 mA.
