The Rinnai Infinity hot water storage system, like most systems over 150 litres capacity, has been supplied as a package with the necessary safety devices to prevent the temperature of the stored water from exceeding 100°C.
14/03 from the BRE: Preventing Hot Water Scalding In Bathrooms: Using TMVs This list is not comprehensive. The responsibilities, relative to the Rinnai Infinity type of hot water system, can be summarised in the following way. Water temperatures in cylinders should always be over 60 C.
RINNAI STORAGE PACK CONTENTS This Rinnai Hot Water Pack should consist of the following: Set of 3 Valves (Hot, Cold, Gas) Equal to number of heaters 1 x Hot water cylinder Valve Pack Corresponding to the Size of Hot Water Cylinder...
At times of heavy draw off the mains water will feed into the bottom of the cylinder and into the Rinnai Water Heater(s). The system has been correctly sized to give the right mix of mains water heated to C and mains water straight into the cylinder to have no effect on the overall temperature of the hot water supply.
PLANNING OUT THE SITE When choosing the location of the Infinity hot water package the following should be taken into account. 1. The cylinder has a necessary clearance of 100mm to the back and sides, 600mm to the front, and 200mm above.
WATER HEATER PIPEWORK Flow Rates The primary pumps supplied with the hot water packages are designed to give a flow rate through each unit of 16 litres/minute. The pipework should be sized for a minimal pressure drop through the pipework. The total flow through the header can be found by multiplying the number of units by 16 l/min.
UNVENTED KIT The Rinnai Infinity Hot Water Package comes with a full Unvented Kit as required by current regulations. The Unvented Kit prevents back siphonage into the water mains supply, takes up the expansion of water as it is heated, reduces the pressure when necessary, and releases the pressure in the system if an overpressure situation occurs.

UNVENTED KIT The 1 inch Kit comes with a Caleffi Manifold Valve but all larger sizes have individual components. The ports for the 1 inch kit are as follows:...
HOT WATER STORAGE CYLINDER The available hot water storage cylinders in the Rinnai Infinity Hot Water Packages are: 300 litre, 500 litre & 800 litre All Rinnai Storage Vessels are Stainless Steel Dimensions For full range of dimensions please see following pages...
The pump should be sized to give a sufficient flow rate so that the retuning water temperature is over 50°C. Rinnai do not supply or size this pump as it depends on the design and size of the building flow and return pipework.

Rinnai UK has had the Hot Water Package specially approved so that it is not required to fit equal capacity T & P Valves to the full input of the system. Rinnai is required to exceed the capacity of the largest heater with a Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve (based on the temperature scale).
Safety Thermostat / High Limit Thermostat (TSTAT 2). This should be installed in the top 1/2 inch port of the cylinder. The Rinnai water heater(s) require a standard 240v 1ph 50 Hz supply. each water heater must have a local method of electrical isolation to both poles with a minimum separation of 3mm for servicing.
EXTRA PUMP For some systems two pumps should be used. If this is the case they should be piped in parallel with equal pipework to both pumps. They Should be controlled by the same thermostat so that if one is on then they are both on EXTRA CYLINDER For some systems two hot water storage cylinders are used.
Following installation of the Rinnai Hot Water Package the following must be done to commission the system. This is to include the commissioning of the unvented domestic hot water system. The commissioning for the Rinnai water heaters should be in the manual or advice can be obtained by calling the Technical Department on 01928 531870.

COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE The Rinnai water heater(s) must be serviced by a competent Gas Safe Registered Engineer at least once a year The unvented hot water package should be maintained at least once per year preferably when the water heaters are serviced. The maintenance procedure should at least include the following: Check and clean all the strainers and filters.
WHAT WILL RINNAI DO? Rinnai will repair or replace the product or any part or component that is defective in materials or workmanship, except as set forth below: All repairs must be performed using genuine Rinnai parts.
