2.1.2 Water circulation system
A.O. SMITH water heaters are suitable
for connection to vented, unvented and
pumped pressurised systems. In each
case appropriate valves and fittings
should be used to ensure the system
complies with the requirements of the
water by laws, and appropriate building
regulations.
When fitting it is essential the rules of
‘good practice’ are applied at all stages
of installation.
