Installing The Equipment; Fitting The Magnesium Protection; Hydraulic Connection - Atlantic CORTHERM 500 Installation, Betrieb Und Wartung

3. INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT

• Two lifting rings on the top of the water heater enable it to be lifted into place. Do not
use the tappings to lift the tank, as this will damage the interior coating.
• The appliance must be installed in a fi xed location. Notches in the risers can be used to fi x
it to the fl oor.

• Place the water heater and its safety unit (and/or safety valve) in a frost-free place.
• Position it as near as possible to the most-used taps.
• If it is placed outside occupied areas, insulate the pipework. If the device needs to be
installed in a location where the ambient temperature is always above 35°C, ensure the
space is ventilated.
• Ensure that the supporting structure is strong enough to take the weight of the water
heater.
• Allow a minimum of 1 metre in front of the fl ange (or manhole) for regular maintenance
of the water heater. Suffi cient space should also be left above the water heater for
inspecting the magnesium anode – see the anode instructions.
• Fit a retention tank with a drain beneath the tank if it is located in a loft or above premises
in use.
• The safety unit and/or safety valve must be accessible.
• A drain connection must be provided equipped with a funnel.
• The lower tapping allows the tank to be drained fully.
• The water heater only operates in the vertical position.
Three risers are provided to assist in connecting the drain:

4. FITTING THE MAGNESIUM PROTECTION

Refer to the specifi c Anode manual for the installation.

5. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

Before proceeding with the hydraulic connection, the supply pipes must be thoroughly
cleaned to avoid introducing metal or other particles into the tank.
If metal pipes are used, the connection to the hot water outlet must use a dielectric pipe
joint or cast-iron sleeve to prevent galvanic corrosion (iron-copper). Brass connections
are prohibited here. A certifi ed safety unit or non-return fl ap and safety valve assembly is
obligatory.
