Installation Manual
FLUE INSTALLATION
FLUE TERMINAL LOCATION
The flue terminal should be positioned away from flammable materials.
The RHFE-752ETR flue terminal is ‘Fan Assisted’ with a maximum input
of 32 MJ/h
Ensure that the location of the flue terminal can comply with the
requirements of AS/NZS 5601 - Fig. 6.2 which is reproduced below.
AS/NZS 5601 was current at the time of printing but may have been superseded. It is the
installer’s responsibility to ensure that requirements of the current version of AS/NZS 5601
are met.
When installing the condensate trap kit (ESCONDK) the included condensate tray MUST BE
fitted. Consult the Rinnai “Power Flued Flamefire Space Heater Co-axial Flue System
Installation Manual” supplied with flue kits ASPDFK or ASPKIT03 for installation
instructions.
The flue system must be fully assembled and secured in place before the heater is installed
into the enclosure.
