    The unit will operate at lower supply pressures but the maximum flow rate may not be achieved. Most installations will use high temperature setpoints which will reduce the available flow rate and heat exchanger pressure drop, and therefore less pressure will be required at the inlet. Contact Rinnai or your supplier for further instruction.
