Heater Location; Enclosure Requirements; Wall Penetration Requirements - Rinnai RHFE-952ER Operation & Installation Manual

HEATER LOCATION

When positioning the heater the main variables governing the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.
This heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with it. In
some cases curtains may need restraining.

ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

These Rinnai units have a cool outer casing allowing it to be installed into existing Masonry fireplace or into a
decorative fireplace constructed from combustible materials such as wood or plaster.
For all installations, ONLY Rinnai ASP & ES Flue components MUST BE used. The Rinnai RHFE-
952ER & RHFE-1252ER units MUST NOT be flued into 'natural draft' flue system or via a chimney.
WARNING
Consult the Rinnai "Power Flued Flamefire Space Heater Co-axial Flue System Installation Manual"
supplied with flue kits ASPDFK or ASPKIT03 for detailed flue installation instructions.
A pair of wheels located at the rear the heater
allows it to slide in and out of the enclosure for ease
of commissioning and maintenance. As such the
heater must be positioned on a flat and level
surface that allows free movement.
In a masonry fireplace, use a slurry of sand and
cement to level the base as required.
In a decorative fireplace, if the appliance is
elevated from the ground, a base must be
constructed using a board with supporting joists as
shown. The joists used to support the appliance off
the ground MUST BE capable of supporting a
minimum of 105 kg.

adhered to.

WALL PENETRATION REQUIREMENTS

Mark the location of the gas supply (consumer piping) and flue pipe
penetrations from the centreline
following dimensions:
RHFE-952ER
Centreline of enclosure
1
420 mm left of centreline
2
65 mm from base of enclosure
430 mm right of centreline
4
500 mm from base of enclosure plus or minus 25mm
5
Consideration must be given to the position of any studs, noggins or other
components of the wall structure.
Ensure the penetration points are marked accurately as this is critical for successful appliance
installation.
NOTE
The penetration for the flue pipe only needs to be made for 'Direct' flue installations, where the flue
terminal is located directly to the rear of the appliance.
If no flue pipe penetration is required the markings are still useful for indicating the correct
position of the flue transition within the enclosure for extended horizontal flue applications.
