Flue spigots
The Rinnai INFINITY internal water heater models noted on the front cover have a FEMALE flue
spigot attached to the top of the unit. This differs to the older units, which have a MALE flue spigot
attached. This is relevant if you are trying to fit a newer model Rinnai INFINITY* into 'old' flueing—
the male flue spigot will need to be ordered. Please contact Rinnai for further information.

* Not applicable if installing an EFi250 model, this MUST USE the FFSS (stainless steel) flue components detailed in this guide.

Condensate

The condensate trap collects any condensate from the flue and prevents condensate from
entering the water heater and causing damage.
Condensate is a by-product of gas combustion and is mildly acidic. For this reason copper tube
and fittings must not be used as it will corrode. Instead Rinnai recommends plastic pipe and
fittings such as UPVC or PE.
Condensate: HD200 and XR26 internal models
A condensate trap kit (FFSSCOND) is required for flue lengths over 1.5 m. If flueing is less than
1.5 m, the flue spigot on the top of the unit is capped using the drain cap tube supplied with the
unit. The drain cap is only removed if the condensate kit is connected..
Condensate: EFi250 internal models
The FFSSCOND is not needed for the EFi250 as there is a different method for draining
condensate (that doesn't require the additional FFSSCOND component). For further information
refer to the Rinnai INFINITY installation guide, section 'EF models: Condensate Drain'.
