Clearances The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the inner glass, are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated. While the heater is operating The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the heater. The 1000 mm clearance above, for the inbuilt model, is the clearance to the ceiling.
Mantels and surrounds Combustible mantels and surrounds require clearance from the unit to minimise the risk of fire. Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible materials such as wood, are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown. The Neo gas fireplace is not designed to be built into bookcases. A Mantel needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the inner glass.
If installing a flat screen TV above a fire, the main issue is heat. Heat from the fire, and heat from the flueing components that could be installed behind the TV (especially if recessed). The Rinnai Neo gas fires have TV directly above a powerful fan that distributes warm air from the appliance out into the room.
Enclosure dimensions for inbuilt models The main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The enclosure dimensions provided are critical to the installation of this appliance and must be adhered to. The heater must be positioned on a flat level surface that allows free movement of the appliance.

Gas supply Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances in the premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for the total gas rate. An approved sizing chart such as the one in AS/NZS 5601.1 should be used. The gas supply termination is inside the heater and enters through the rear of the appliance.
Flueing options The below options detail the most common types of flue installations. If you have an installation that varies from those below, please contact Rinnai. Masonry without a flexiliner flue Flue component For installations into a masonry cavity where...
Maximum flue length - 8 m Rinnai recommends a maximum flue length of 8 m with a maximum of two 45 ° bends. Difference in flue lengths For our inbuilt range our flue lengths are all 1.2 m. For our freestanding flues, those that are powder coated (galaxy black and brushed stainless steel), flue lengths are 1 m.
Rinnai strongly recommends the use of a Rinnai flexiliner flue system. Failure to meet this criteria may result in an unsafe situation. Installation without a flexiliner flue is permissible as long as the chimney is swept, checked for soundness and ability to achieve a good draw.
