Flueing options

Flueing notes

For all installations a Rinnai flue system 
MUST BE used. Detailed flue instructions 
are provided with the flue kits.

Termination point

Flue is not to terminate under floors or in 
a roof space. 

Condensate

A condensate trap is required for vertical 
in-wall and through-wall vertical flue 
installations to ensure condensate 
generated during combustion is trapped 
and prevented from entering the chamber 
of the heater.

For horizontal, and down and out 
installations, there must be a continuous 
fall of at least 2° to the wall terminal. This 
equates to approximately 20 mm per 
metre to the termination point to drain 
the condensate. For direct flueing, direct 
flue kits A and B have an inbuilt 2° fall. 

Rear external wall*

Through-wall vertical

Vertical in-wall

False wall

Flue components:
- Direct A flue (R2731), or
- Direct B flue (R2732), or
- Direct flue (ASPDFK)

This flue configuration could 
be up to 8.5 m long (no 
bends).

 flue components:

- Adaption flue (EVOKIT03)
- Coaxial pipe (ESPIPE900)
- Roof cowl (ESROOFCOWL)

A

 flue configuration could have a 

flue length of 7 m and contain one 
90

 bend would 

be the flue transition (EVOKIT03).

flue components:

- Adaption flue kit (EVOKIT03)

- Roof cowl (ESROOFCOWL)

B

 flue configuration could have a 

flue length of 6.5 m and contain 
two bends—the first 90

°

 bend 

would be the flue transition 
(EVOKIT03), and the second 90° 
bend would be the two 45

 bends 

(ESBEND).

ASPDFK, remove terminal and use

- Coaxial pipe (ESPIPE900)
- Bend 2 x 45

- Wall terminal (ESWTERM)

Down rating the appliance

For all flueing EXCEPT direct flueing, the 
appliance must be down rated (ensures 
optimum performance of the fan) as per 
the instructions on the commissioning 
sheet.

Maximum flue length and number of 

bends

• 

Max. flue length - 8.5 m

• 

Max. number of bends - three

One 90

°

 bend equals 1 m. For every 90

°

 

bend the overall length must be reduced 
by 1 m. For example if an installation has 
three 90

°

 bends, the maximum flue length 

can be 5.5 m. The flue transition for all 
flueing installations, excluding direct 
horizontal flueing, is counted as a 90

°

 

bend.

The below options detail the most common flue installations. If you are doing something 

different, for example up and sideways, and are not sure what components you need, 

please contact Rinnai.

* Allow for a 2 ° fall from the heater connection to the wall terminal.
