6.1.1 Plumbing Kit installation
Rinnai supplies specific Plumbing Kits with each boiler type, which must be fitted directly
underneath the boiler on the supply and return pipe. Use of the Rinnai boiler without the
plumbing kit will result in the void of warranty.
To protect the entire heating system we recommend installing a dirt particle trap
in the return circuit. When the boiler is installed to an existing heating system this
trap is required. Use of a Y strainer is not permitted as a substitute for a dirt trap.
- Install shut-off valves immediately before and after the dirt particle filter to allow the trap
to be cleaned.
- Position 3 (figure 7) is a garden house thread boiler drain that can be used to drain the
boiler or add water treatment additives to the system such as inhibitors or glycol.
- Position 4 (figure 7) is the supply connection for an indirect tank when used with the
optional 3-way valve kit.
- For information on locating the expansion tank and system fill, please see the Rinnai
Boiler Applications Manual.
Thoroughly flush all pipes and radiators. We recommend the use of a Rinnai
approved system cleaner. Please refer to the list of approved Rinnai system
cleaners in this chapter.
- Refer to the installation template and chapter 5.3 for the pipe connection dimensions.
- Fit the bronze adapter fittings, supplied with the boiler (fig. 7, pos. 5) first to the
Plumbing Kit and then to the boiler.
