Local regulations and / or the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 must be
considered regarding the temperature limitations of hot water supplied to
areas used primarily for personal hygiene. The temperature of water to
these areas may be limited to 50º C or less. To ensure these regulations
and / or requirements are met the system
MUST
be installed in
accordance with the 'Water Heater and Controller Installation
Configurations' Section of this document.
The appliance weighs 21 kg and the wall or structure on which it is to be
mounted must be capable of supporting the weight of the appliance and
associated pipe-work.
Ensure that suitable fixing screws or bolts are used to secure the Infinity
to the wall. Bracket and fixing hole locations are shown overleaf.
The top bracket has a keyhole slot so that the appliance can be
positioned by hanging it on one screw, then the other screws can be
secured.
After determining the most suitable position, fix the Infinity to the wall.
Positions of the cold water inlet, hot water outlet and gas connections are
shown overleaf. All connections are R ¾ (20mm). This is NOT an
indication of the pipe sizes required.
An Approved isolation valve and disconnection union MUST be fitted to
the cold water inlet. A non return valve is not required unless dictated by
local regulations.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

AG601/AS5601 - Gas Installations
AS/NZS 3500 - National Plumbing and Drainage
AS/NZS 3000 - Wiring Rules
Building Codes of Australia
The appliance should be placed as close as practicable to the most
frequently used hot water outlet point or points to minimise the delay
time for hot water delivery. For installations where the distance between
the unit and hot water outlet points is considerable, the appliance can
also be fitted in a 'flow and return system' which minimises the waiting
time for hot water delivery. Alternatively, multiple appliances can be
strategically placed to service outlet points with minimal delay time.
Contact Rinnai Australia for further information.
Location of the appliance flue terminal must be in accordance with the
clearances shown in Figure 5.3 of AG601/AS5601-2002 which is
reproduced right side. Ensure that the flue terminal and hot water outlet
connection cannot be touched by children. The appliance must be clear
of obstructions and shrubbery.
The appliance must be in an accessible location. Sufficient clearances
shall allow access to, and removal of, all serviceable components. The
appliance should not be mounted higher than 3.5 metres from the
ground or floor level unless the customer can arrange permanent and
safe access or can arrange another means of access, for example, by
means of scissor or boom lifts.
AC 240V, 10A weatherproof external earthed power point shall be
provided adjacent to the appliance. It must be clear of the gas and water
connections to the appliance, flue exhaust and water pressure relief
valve. The power cord of the appliance is 1500 mm long.
Note that AG601/AS5601-2002 was current at the time of printing but
may have been superseded. It is the installer's responsibility that the
current clearance requirements are met.
This appliance can use up to 199 MJ/h of gas. If the gas pipe sizing is
insufficient the customer will not get the full performance benefit. Gas
pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all
the other gas appliances in the premises. The gas meter and regulator
must be specified for this gas rate. An approved sizing chart such as the
one in AG601 / AS5601 should be used.
Water pipe sizing and layout should be performed in accordance with
AS/NZS 3500. All hot water pipe-work should be insulated to optimise
maximum performance and energy efficiency.
Where the water supply pressure exceeds 1200 kPa, an approved
pressure limiting valve is required at the inlet of the appliance. To
achieve the rated flow a minimum water supply pressure of 140 kPa is
required at the appliance inlet. The unit will operate at lower supply
pressures but the rated flow will not be achieved. Contact Rinnai for
'gravity fed' or 'low pressure' hot water installations.
The water quality should be in accordance with the guidelines contained
in the 'How to use your Water Heater' booklet. Most Australian
Metropolitan water supplies will fall within these guidelines. If you are
unsure of your water quality, contact your local water authority. If sludge
or foreign matter is present in the water supply, a suitable filter should be
incorporated in the cold water supply pipe.
You must install this appliance in accordance with these Instructions and all
regulatory requirements which exist in your area. Applicable publications
