2.6 INSTALLATION
2.6.1 CLEARANCE
The appliance must be installed in an easily accessible position. Sufficient clearances for component removal and
product maintenance must be guaranteed.
Minimum clearance distance from flammable and non-flammable products:

IMPORTANT
There must not be any obstacles, even partial, placed on the front of the appliance: this will allow
the appliance to work correctly even in strong wind conditions.
2.6.2 WATER CONNECTION
The sizing and layout of the water pipes must be designed correctly to ensure adequate water flow to the appliance.
Prior to installing the appliance, to avoid invalidating the warranty, it is necessary to clean the pipes to remove any
impurities or production residues that could cause the product to malfunction.
The water connections are 20A (R3/4”) male.
If the water supply pressure (cold water inlet) exceeds 10 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed. In order to achieve
maximum flow it is necessary to guarantee a pressure of 3 bar. The appliance can also work at lower pressures,
but the maximum capacity will not be guaranteed. When water is used at high temperatures, the available flow rate
decreases and, as a consequence, also the pressure drops in the heat exchanger: a lower pressure at the inlet will
therefore be required. Contact Rinnai or your supplier for further instructions.
When connecting the water supply pipes, it is recommended to have a valve and a filter on the cold water inlet union,
and a valve on the hot water outlet. Do not connect the valves directly to the water heater’s connections, but interpose
a flexible connection joint.
If the appliance is supplied with water of poor quality, it is necessary to install an adequate water treatment system
(water softener), to limit the scale of limestone and the encrustation on the heat exchanger. The warranty does not
cover damages caused by lime-scale. Below are some limit values of substances dissolved in water to respect:

The hydraulic pipes should be well insulated to optimize energy efficiency and reduce heat losses.
2.6.3 GAS CONNECTION
Prior to installing the appliance, to avoid invalidating the warranty, it is necessary to clean the gas line to remove any
impurities or production residues that could cause the product to malfunction.
Make sure the appliance is set up for the type of gas used.
The gas connection is 20A (R3/4”) male.
Check that the meter and the gas pipe are adequate to the power of the appliance (including all the appliances
connected to the same gas line): the gas network must be designed by qualified professionals and according to current
regulations; must provide adequate dynamic pressure based on the rated power of the device. Refer to what reported
by the National Standards.
