What We Will Cover 

1. Where To Position A Gas Geyser. 
2. Water Piping.
3. Gas Piping.

Note: The gas line to the gas geyser must be installed by a registered gas installer.

Gas Geyser Status

First, a gas geyser is installed on the wall. The position of the gas geyser is extremely important. additionally, to being installed consistent with SANS, it's important to put in gas geysers where predicament is going to be used. this is often due to.

• It takes time for decent water to succeed in your tap. The gas geyser will heat the water almost instantly, however, because the water already within the pipe will need to be "moved" out of the way before the recent water reaches your faucet. therefore the less distance the recent water has got to visit your faucet, the less time you've got to attend for decent water.
• The longer it takes for decent water to succeed in your faucet, the less heat it'll fancy reaching your faucet. This happens because the warmth is going to be transferred from the recent water through the pipes to the cold air. This heat transfer is often reduced by shortening your pipes. therefore the longer your pipe lasts, the more heat it'll lose.

Water Piping

Pipe Size

• Now, what I'm close to saying, some plumbers won't agree, but it's worth noting.
• In today's day and age, the overall concept bigger is best is, for the foremost part, true, but smaller and thinner is best when it involves the dimensions of your predicament pipes. Here's my reasoning.
• The wider your pipe, the more water you'll waste while expecting the predicament to return to your faucet. this is often basic math V = r^2 h. the broader the pipe, the more water it'll hold, and thus the more water you've got to maneuver out of the way until your predicament reaches your faucet.
• Here's a table of what proportion of water you waste whenever you open your tap expecting predicament.

As you'll see employing a 22mm diameter pipe will waste quite twice the maximum amount of water expecting predicament whenever. This adds up over months and you're paying extra for little or no benefit. Most water supplies don't supply enough flow and pressure to saturate even a 15mm pipe, so it doesn't add up to travel beyond that size.

But

Before you leave and buy only a 15mm pipe, you ought to check your water flow and pressure. If your water system exceeds 18 liters per minute you ought to use a 22mm pipe. If you go but this you risk getting noisy water pipes so choose wisely and maybe consult an experienced plumber.

Connection

So now you recognize where and what size water pipe to use for your gas geyser, but also where to attach the recent water pipe within the ceiling.

First, you do not need to get obviate your existing electric geyser, just install an isolation valve at the outlet of the geyser and connect the recent water coming from the gas geyser to anywhere after the isolation valve, and switch off the facility to the geyser. might consider adding an isolation valve to the inlet of the geyser then draining the geyser completely, just confirm the geyser isn't on (electrically).

 

Most people will run the recent water line from the gas geyser to the output of the prevailing geyser just after the isolation valve as shown here.

It will work. However, it is sensible for T to be the closest, most ordinarily used null. for instance, if you're using the shower most of the time, you'll place the recent water line as on the brink of the shower as possible.

This reduces the length of pipe required which is sweet for reasons as we discussed above and may make your installation a touch cheaper.

Gas Line

We have already said that your gas geyser Installation should only be installed by a registered gas installer. Here are some reasons why this is often important.

• If the unit wasn't installed by a registered gas installer, the manufacturer won't honor its warranty.
• Doing it yourself is against the law and may be dangerous.
• You can damage your gas appliance if you put in it incorrectly.
• So whatever is regarding gas is simply for a gas installer or for your reference.

Gas Line Length

The length of your gas line is tied very closely to the dimensions of the pipe. But here are some thoughts:

• The distance from a force-driven unit to the gas bottles should be quite 5m. just because an electrical source (no quite 80w) is required to run the force-driven units, the fans and gas bottles must be 5m faraway from any source of ignition for complete combustion.
• The distance from the gas bottles to the gas geysers should be kept as short as possible, therefore shouldn't exceed 5m, if possible, for force-operated gas geysers. and less than 1m for natural draft gas geysers. If however, you would like to last longer then you would like to follow the simplest practice in pipe sizing concerning gas geyser demand and pipe length, more thereon in pipe size.
• The longer your pipe lasts, the costlier it'll be. If you're too expensive you'll not get the work and you'll close up the gas for the customer as was common.

Pipe Size

If your pipe size isn't wide enough you'll starve the gas geyser of gas and it'll not perform also so it's best to size your piping accordingly. 

There's an option once you got to run an extended pipe and you do not want or can't increase the dimensions of your piping. he's using two regulators, a high-pressure regulator within the bottles and a second step (2.8kpa) regulator within the equipment.

Gas Pressure

A very important thing that must be checked is that the pressure on the gas geyser. The pressure shouldn't exceed the rated pressure as labeled on the unit, but (in the case of long runs) too low isn't good either. So adjust your regulators appropriately.
