Cylinder location
inside or
outside
The rinnai Glass Lined storage cylinders are suitable for mounting either
inside or outside.
Cylinders should be installed to aS/nZS3500.4, with reference to G12/aS1
where appropriate.
Cylinders should be installed on a flat level base of sufficient strength to
support the weight of the water heater when full. it must also be suitably
restrained against seismic activity.
Cylinders should not be located where they will be difficult to remove, such
as in attic spaces or built into cupboards or shelves. Tank durability is part
of B2/aS1 1.2.1c) where there is a requirement that there is no removal of
building elements in order to gain access.
Where a cylinder is not easily accessible for maintenance and replacement,
the rinnai Warranty will not cover any additional costs caused by access
difficulty. This is important for glass lined tanks where access is required to
change the anode at the top of the cylinder.
it is important a suitably drained catch pan is fitted where damage could be
caused by discharge from the cylinder.
The rinnai Warranty does not cover any consequential loss from leaks to
the cylinder if a catch pan isn’t installed.
a single phase 3 pin power point is required to power the solar pump
and controller
if electric boost is used, a 16 amp power supply from the distribution
board will be required to boost the element
if gas boost is used, a second power point will be required to power the
rinnai infinity
Ensure there are no connections to the ripple relay

a timer
1
on the 16 amp power circuit is required to control the electric
boost to ensure maximum solar gain. There are many different models
of timer available, a straight pre-programmed timer, or with an over-ride
button to allow the customer to initiate a boost at times of low solar gain.
It is important to discuss the timer with the customer as they will need to
have one installed that will suit their hot water requirements.
