Product Information
Full details
The Heatrae Sadia Streamline 7 is an under-sink vented water heater designed for small-scale hot water needs in locations like single washrooms or small office kitchens. It offers a convenient 7-litre capacity with a 1kW heating element, providing a reliable supply of hot water where needed. A key caveat is its requirement for a vented tap system, meaning it's not a universal fit for all plumbing setups.

FAQs
What type of tap is required for the Streamline 7?
The Heatrae Sadia Streamline 7 is designed exclusively for use with vented taps.
Can this water heater be used for a shower?
No, the 7-litre capacity and 1kW element are not suitable for the continuous hot water demand of a shower. It is intended for small amounts of hot water for tasks like handwashing or rinsing.
How long does it take to heat the water?
The time required to heat the full 7-litre tank depends on the incoming cold water temperature and the power of the 1kW element. It will take a considerable time to reach full temperature from cold.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The dimensions are approximately H477 x W290 x D178 mm.
Is professional installation necessary?
Yes, due to electrical and plumbing connections, professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is highly recommended for safety and correct operation.
Can I connect this to a standard mixer tap?
No, this unit is only compatible with vented taps. Connecting it to an unvented system or unsuitable tap could lead to damage or safety hazards.
Troubleshooting
No hot water is delivered.
Check that the power supply is on and the unit is receiving water. Ensure the vented tap is fully open and functioning correctly. If issues persist, a professional inspection may be required.
Water is not hot enough.
Verify the thermostat setting (if adjustable and accessible). Ensure the unit has had sufficient time to heat the full 7-litre capacity. Heavy usage may deplete the hot water faster than it can reheat.
Leaking from connections.
Turn off the power and water supply immediately. Check all plumbing connections for tightness and ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated and intact. Professional assistance may be needed to repair leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This water heater is designed for under-sink installation and must be connected to a vented tap system. Installation typically involves plumbing connections for the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, as well as electrical wiring. Due to the nature of water heating and electrical components, professional installation by a qualified plumber or electrician is strongly recommended.
Compatibility:
- Taps: Exclusively compatible with vented taps. It cannot be used with unvented systems or standard mixer taps unless they are specifically designed for vented installations.

Care:
