Ensure that the location of the flue terminal can comply with the requirements
of AS/NZS 5601 - Fig. 6.2 which is reproduced below.
Flue terminal Fan assisted flue appliance only
Ref.
Below eaves, balconies and other projections:
a
• Appliances up to 50 MJ/h input
• Appliances over 50 MJ/h input
b From the ground, above a balcony or other surface *
c Front a return wall or external corner *
From a gas meter (M) (see 5.11.5.9 for vent terminal location of regulator )
d (see Table 6.6 for New Zealand requirements)
e From an electricity meter or fuse box (P) †
f From a drain pipe or soil pipe
g Horizontally from any building structure* = or obstruction facing a terminal
h From any other flue terminal , cowl, or combustion air intake †
Horizontally from an openable window, door, non-mechanical air inlet, or any other opening into a building
with the exception of sub-floor ventilation:
• Appliances up to 150 MJ/h input *
• Appliances over 150 MJ/h input up to 200 MJ/h input *
j
• Appliances over 200 MJ/h input up to 250 MJ/h input *
• Appliances over 250 MJ/h input *
• All fan-assisted flue appliances , in the direction of discharge
k From a mechanical air inlet, including a spa blower
Vertically below an openable window, non-mechanical air inlet, or any other opening into a building with the
exception of sub-floor ventilation:
• Space heaters up to 50 MJ/hr input
n
• Other appliances up to 50 MJ/hr input
• Appliances over 50 MJ/h input and up to 150 MJ/h input
• Appliances over 150 MJ/h input
* - unless appliance is certified for closer installation
† - Prohibited area below electricity meter or fuse box extends to ground level.
NOTES:
1 Where dimensions c, j or k cannot be achieved an equivalent horizontal distance
measured diagonally from the nearest discharge point of the terminal to the opening
may be deemed by the Technical Regulator to comply.
2 See Clause 6.9.4 for restrictions on a flue terminal under a covered area.
3 See Figure J3 for clearances required from a flue terminal to an LP Gas cylinder.
A flue terminal is considered to be a source of ignition.

AS/NZS 5601 was current at the time of printing but may have been superseded. It is the installer's
responsibility to ensure that requirements of the current version of AS/NZS 5601 are met.
NOTE
When installing a condensate trap kit (ESCONDK) the condensate MUST BE drained to the inbuilt
condensation drain tray of the heater (refer to "CONNECTING THE FLUE SYSTEM" on page 24).
Consult the Rinnai "Power Flued Flamefire Space Heater Co-axial Flue System Installation Manual"
supplied with flue kits ASPDFK or ASPKIT03 for further flue installation instructions.
The flue system must be fully assembled and secured in place before the heater is installed into
the enclosure.
