Natural Gas Storage Hot Water

This product is the natural gas version of the Rheem 4 Star 170L gas storage water heater.

It is designed for properties connected to natural gas. Natural gas and LPG units are not interchangeable, so the correct gas type must be selected before ordering or installation.

If your current water heater is connected to LPG bottles, choose the LPG model instead. If your current setup uses natural gas, this natural gas version is the correct product pathway.

Mains Pressure Hot Water

The Rheem 4 Star 170L Gas Storage Water Heater provides mains pressure hot water, helping deliver strong hot water flow to multiple taps where the property’s plumbing and pressure conditions are suitable.

This makes it a practical replacement for homes where customers want the familiar performance of gas storage hot water rather than switching to a continuous flow system.

283L First Hour Capacity

The 283L first hour capacity is one of the key reasons customers choose the Rheem 4 Star 170L gas storage model.

First hour capacity combines stored hot water with recovery performance, helping reduce waiting time between showers compared with slower-recovering systems. This can be useful for family routines where multiple showers, laundry or kitchen hot water use can happen close together.

4 Star Gas Efficiency

The Rheem 4 Star 170L is designed to use less gas than many older gas storage water heaters. Rheem lists the model with 4 Star energy efficiency, making it a practical replacement when upgrading from an older, less efficient gas storage unit.

Actual running costs still depend on household hot water use, natural gas pricing, thermostat settings, climate, installation condition and how the system is used.

Outdoor Installation Only

The Rheem 4 Star 170L Natural Gas Storage Water Heater is designed for outdoor installation.

It should not be installed internally. Gas hot water systems must be installed in accordance with manufacturer instructions, gas fitting rules, ventilation requirements, clearance requirements and local compliance standards.

Common Uses

The Rheem 4 Star 170L Natural Gas Storage Hot Water System can be suitable for:

• Natural gas storage hot water replacement

• Outdoor gas storage installations

• Homes connected to natural gas

• Family homes

• Larger households

• Townhouses

• Rental properties

• Investment homes

• Properties replacing older 3 Star or 4 Star gas storage units

• Homes wanting mains pressure gas storage hot water

• Supply-only orders where a licensed gas fitter is already arranged

• Supply and install orders in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast areas

Suitability depends on gas type, natural gas supply, installation location, water pressure, access, pipework condition, household usage and compliance requirements.

Tempering Valve and Element Information

*Element size information:
All electric hot water units are supplied as standard with a 3.6kW element unless otherwise stated on the product page, invoice, or order confirmation.

If a different element configuration is requested, such as 1.8kW or 2.4kW, the hot water unit may still arrive with the standard 3.6kW element fitted from the manufacturer. The requested 1.8kW or 2.4kW element will be supplied separately with the order for installation by a suitably licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder.

Any element changeover, electrical connection, disconnection, wiring, testing, or modification must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder. Elements must not be changed, connected, modified, or tested by an unlicensed person.

Alternative elements supplied for non-standard configurations may be generic replacement elements and may not be the same brand as the hot water unit unless specifically stated. Generic elements are supplied to suit the requested element size and electrical configuration, but final suitability must be checked by the licensed installer before installation.

1.8kW and 2.4kW elements supplied separately with a hot water unit include a 12-month supply-only parts warranty from the date of purchase, provided the element has been correctly installed by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder and used under normal operating conditions.

This element warranty covers the replacement supply of the element only. It does not include labour, call-out fees, electrical work, plumbing work, fault finding, removal, reinstallation, testing, travel, downtime, damage caused by incorrect installation, or any other associated costs. Warranty may be declined where the element has been incorrectly installed, dry-fired, modified, damaged, connected to incorrect voltage or wiring, affected by power issues, used in unsuitable water conditions, or installed by an unlicensed person.

Proof of purchase, installer details, electrical licence details, photos, and/or return of the faulty element may be required before a warranty claim is approved.

**Tempering valve information:
Where a hot water system is capable of delivering water above 50°C, a compliant tempering valve must be installed to control the temperature delivered to personal hygiene fixtures such as showers, baths, basins, and bathroom outlets. This helps reduce the risk of scalding and assists with meeting plumbing compliance requirements.

A tempering valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a safer controlled outlet temperature to required fixtures. The hot water unit itself may store water at a higher temperature, but the water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be controlled where required by plumbing regulations.

If your property already has a suitable, compliant tempering valve installed, your licensed plumber can assess whether it is appropriate for use with the new hot water system. Existing valves may not always be suitable due to age, condition, compliance requirements, valve type, location, or system compatibility.

If a compliant tempering valve is not already installed, or if the existing valve is unsuitable, one must be supplied and installed by a licensed plumber as part of the hot water installation.

Tempering valves are not automatically included with every supply-only hot water unit unless specifically selected, listed as included, or purchased as part of a suitable valve kit. If a tempering valve is required, please purchase the appropriate valve kit with your order or arrange for your licensed installer to supply and install the correct tempering valve on site.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation is completed by appropriately licensed trades and that all required valves, fittings, electrical work, plumbing work, and compliance requirements are allowed for as part of the installation.
