Connecting Condensate Drain Tube To Heater - Rinnai RHFE-308FTR Installation Manual

INSTALLATION METHODS

CONNECTING CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBE TO HEATER

1. Condensate trap "ESCONDK".
2. Carefully mark and drill a 16 diameter mm hole through both the heat shield panel and
appliance back panel. DO NOT allow the drill to penetrate further than 10 mm past
the back panel as damage to the heat exchanger or internal components will occur.
To insert the condensate drain hose in the appliance drill through both the
raised heat shield and the heater back panel.
CAUTION
A 16 mm diameter hole is required for the correct clearance with the
condensate drain hose supplied.
DO NOT allow the drill to penetrate further than 10mm past the back panel
as damage to the internal components such as the heat exchanger will
occur.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE APPLIANCE BE OPERATED WITH A
DAMAGED HEAT EXCHANGER
