Flueing options

The below options detail the most common types of flue installations. If you have an 
installation that varies from those below, please contact Rinnai. 

Flue component

- Flue cowl (R1760-2)

Masonry without a flexiliner flue

For installations into a masonry cavity where 

the chimney has been swept, checked for 

soundness and ability to achieve a good draw.

Masonry with flexiliner flue

For installations into a masonry cavity where 

a Rinnai aluminium flue is required to ensure 

optimum performance of the appliance.

Flue components

- Flexiliner flue kit (R1758) 3.6 m

If flueing exceeds 3.6 m add:

- Flexiliner flue extension (R1761)

Inbuilt mock chimney direct and offset

For installations into a combustible opening 

with a zero clearance box, where the flue runs 

vertically in-wall.

A: Flue component

- Zero clearance flue kit (R1762Z)

B: Flue components

- Zero clearance flue kit (R1762Z)

- 45 ° bend kit x 2 (R1764)

If flueing exceeds 3.6 m add the 

galvanised or stainless steel flue 

extension (R1763Z, R1763SS).

Inbuilt mock chimney offset wall penetration

For installations into a combustible opening 

with a zero clearance box. Flue runs in-wall, 

then penetrates the building before terminating 

vertically. 

Typically used in multi-storey dwellings where 

the fire is installed on the ground floor.

Flue components

- Zero clearance flue kit (R1762Z)

- Wall penetration kit (R1766)

If flueing exceeds 3.6 m add the 

galvanised or stainless steel flue 

extension (R1763Z, R1763SS).

Masonry installations

Rinnai recommends the use of a flexiliner flue (Ø 100 mm) as it ensures optimum performance of the 
appliance. Installation without a flexiliner flue is permitted as long as the chimney has been swept,  
checked for soundness and ability to achieve a good draw.

Mock chimney flueing

A Rinnai zero clearance box and flue kit are mandatory for installations into a combustible opening.

Minimum flue length -  3.6 m

This is required to ensure adequate draw and to prevent spill-back of combustion products, which can 
cause the safety sensors to shut down the fire. The minimum flue length before any bends or offsets is 
1.2 m (or one length of flue). The minimum vertical flue length is 3.6 m or three lengths of flue.

Maximum flue length - 8 m

Rinnai recommends a maximum flue length of 8m with a maximum of two 45 ° bends.
