Installation Details
Outdoor Tank Installation
The water heater must be installed
outdoors, with the minimum clearances
as shown in the gure below.
We recommend a plinth be installed
under the water heater where the
water heater is subjected to wet
conditions.
Minimum clearance around the windows
and doors must be maintained – refer to
AS 5601.
Location
The water heater should be located as
close as possible to the most frequently
used hot water outlet. Ensure that the
data label is clearly visible and that there
is adequate access for servicing the unit.
Note: All models are equipped with a
sacricial anode, accessible through the
top cover. Allow 50% of the height of
the water heater for clearance above to
replace the anode.
A properly drained overow tray must
be used where property damage
could occur from water spillage. (See
AS/NZS3500.4.2 for further details).
Warranty does not cover consequential
damage due to heater leakage.
The water heater should be installed
OUTDOORS with the minimum
clearances as shown in the gure below.
The water heater should be installed
on a level, reproof plinth at least
50mm above the surrounding ground
level. Position the two wall brackets
25 mm below the lip of the lid and
secure them so that they are protruding
approximately 10mm beyond the back
of the heater. Position the unit in place
and secure the brackets to the wall (as
per gure below).
A = 500mm B=300mm min

Plumbing Connections
Pressure & Temperature Relief
Valve
The Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve
is supplied loose with the water heater.
The valve rating is:
All Models – 1400kPa
The PTR valve must be installed directly
into the top socket marked “RELIEF
VALVE”. The drain line from this valve
must run in a continuously downward
direction in a frost-free ambient position
with the discharge end left open to
atmosphere permanently.
The PTR Valve is not intended to enable
connection of the water heater to
supplementary energy sources such as
solar panels or slow combustion stoves
(refer AS/NZS 3500.4 for guidance on
these types of installations).
Open the PTR Valve for approximately
10 seconds by lifting the lever on the
valve to ensure water is relieved to waste
through the relief drain pipe. Lower lever
gently and check that it closes correctly.
The PTR Valve must not be tampered
with or removed. The water heater must
not be operated unless this valve is
tted and in working order.
The PTR Valve should be checked for
adequate performance or replaced at
intervals not exceeding 5 years, or less
in areas where local regulations apply.
Important: The PTR Valve and its
drain outlet pipe must not be sealed or
blocked. It is normal for the PTR valve
to leak a small amount of water during
heating cycles.
Danger
Failure to operate the relief valve easing
lever at least once every six (6) months
may result in a problem with the water
heater and in some cases the tank may
explode.
Warning: A separate drain line must be
run for this relief valve. It is not permitted
to couple drain lines from relief valves
into a single common drain line.
Note: Brass plugs are supplied with
the water heater to plug off the unused
ttings. Ensure that a sealing material is
applied to the plugs to prevent leaking.
Cold Water Connection
An approved isolating valve, non
return valve, line strainer (optional but
recommended), and union must be
tted between the supply main and
either of the RP¾/20 sockets marked
“Inlet” at the bottom of the water heater.
All ttings must be approved by the
relevant Authority. See the diagram on
page 5 for details.
Note for S.A. and W.A.: It is a state
requirement that a pressure relief valve
be tted on the cold water supply line
between the non return valve and the
water heater. See the diagram on page
5 for details.

Plumbing Connections
Hot Water Connection
The hot water pipe should be connected
to either of the RP¾/20 sockets marked
OUTLET at the top of the unit. For the
most economical operation of the water
heater, it is recommended that all hot
water lines are insulated. Please check
local regulations regarding the use of
hot water supply pipework that are not
made of copper.
Insulation of Pipes
All hot water pipes must be insulated
with UV stabilized insulation suitable
for solar working temperatures, e.g.
Armaex Insulation.
Note: a combined isolating valve/non-return valve/line strainer may be used.
Expansion valve only required where local regulations demand.

Temperature Protection
Water heaters can produce very hot
water. To reduce the risk of scald injury,
it is mandatory under the requirements
of Australian Standard AS/NZS3500.4.2
that a suitably approved temperature
control device be tted to the hot water
supply to outlets used primarily for
personal hygiene. This valve should be
checked at regular intervals to ensure its
operation and settings remain correct.
Note: This water heater is supplied
with a tempering valve. Install the
valve according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Any adustments to
the valve should be made according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The tempering valve should be checked
at regular intervals to ensure its
operation and settings remain correct.

Owner’s Information
Water Quality
Your Dux water heater has been
manufactured to suit water conditions of
most Australian metropolitan supplies.
Please note that harsh water supplies
can have a detrimental effect on the
water heater and its life expectancy. If
you are unsure about your water quality
you can obtain information from your
local water supply authority.
The water heater is designed for use in
areas where the Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) content of the water supply is less
than 2500 mg/L.
In areas where the TDS exceeds
600mg/L it is possible that the
magnesium alloy anodes (supplied in the
heater and colour coded orange) may
become over reactive. To alleviate this,
the magnesium alloy anodes should be
replaced with aluminium alloy anodes
(colour coded blue), available from your
local Dux supplier. Remove the lid,
which is secured by two (2) screws at
the rear and a clipping arrangement at
the front, to gain access to the anode
sockets.
Water can also be very corrosive. The
measure of this is the Saturation Index.
If the Saturation Index is greater than
0.40, an expansion control valve should
be tted and where the index is greater
than 0.80, the water heater installed
should be a Hard Water Model. Please
consult our Service Department for
advice if required.
