Rinnai Energysaver space heater when correctly installed with Rinnai approved flue components are room-sealed
appliances and no internal ventilation is required. The Rinnai Energysaver space heater is fan-assisted. Therefore
the fan assisted flue clearance dimensions from AS/NZS 5601 extract shown on this page
MUST
be used.
The outer plastic section of the Co-Axial Flue complies with temperature hazard requirements and can be installed
with zero clearance to combustible material. Vertical clearances when using a roof terminal (ESROOFCOWL) are
shown in Fig.1. If in doubt contact the Rinnai Australia National Helpline (number on the back page).
