15
Location
System should be installed in accordance with G12 and AS/NZS 3500.4. For servicing and
maintenance, please allow sufficient room for access of all components of the system.
Ensure the hot water system is installed in a corrosive free environment and free from chemicals
as this could potentially create an atmosphere that attacks the Rinnai INFINITY water heater.
Base requirements
System should be installed in a flat level surface of sufficient strength to support the weight of the
Demand Rapid system when full of water.
The frame must be secured to the floor using anchor bolts (not supplied). The water heating
system must also be suitably restrained against seismic activity, ‘G12/AS1 Figure 14’.
Access to the system
All components of the system must be installed to ensure access can be gained without hazard or
undue difficulty for inspection, repair, replacement, or operational purposes. Sufficient clearances
shall allow access to remove all serviceable components.
Where the system is not accessible, the Rinnai warranty will not cover any additional costs caused
by access difficulty. The system must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold.
Catch pan
It is important a suitably drained catch pan (or drain system) is fitted where damage could be
caused by discharge from the cylinder. This is a mandatory requirement of the installation. If
damage is caused by a leaking cylinder that has not been installed with a suitable catch pan and
drain system the owner can seek compensation through the installer or consider claiming on
insurance.
• Drain valve
Provision must be made to drain the cylinder if required for servicing.
• Drain lines
These must be installed in accordance with AS/NZ 3500 and/or G12/AS1
Rinnai INFINITY flue clearances
Flue clearances must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Demand Rapid systems installed with internal units must use a Rinnai approved flue system.
Condensate drain required for DD1212i315
The Rinnai INFINITY EF internal unit generates condensate continuously as a by-product of a
highly efficient gas burner. Provision must be made to drain the condensate to a suitable point of
discharge, refer Appendix 1 on p. 22 for more information.
