Engine Installation - Rinnai RF800 Operation & Installation Manual

ENGINE INSTALLATION

Timber Cavity Design
The appliance and flue need to be
installed before the wall can be lined!
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that the cavity lintel
is left off until the flue and engine have
been installed (Allow approx 1200mm
clearance above the engine).
Remember that both gas and electricity
are required within the cavity (see,
"Gas & Electrical Supplies" on page
12).
When engine installation is complete,
the fitting of cardboard from the
packaging material to the front flanges
of the appliance with some low-tac
masking tape will help to protect the
appliance from dust, paint, etc. of
subsequent construction drawing into
the appliance.
Secure the appliance to framing using strapping
provided with appropriate fixings (not supplied) as
shown.
It is recommended that the appliance be installed on
a solid platform.
If this is not possible then there must be support
provided at the front and back of the cavity - no
further back than 368mm.
If the appliance is to be installed
with a hearth, either on the floor or
NOTE cantilevered, it is important that the
finished top of the hearth is flush with
the floor of the installation cavity.
For the best finish, allow for the hearth
to fit under the engine by 5~10 mm.
