Maximum Vent Length - Rinnai RUCS65i Installation And Operation Manual

Maximum vent length

Maximum Vent Length with Concentric Venting
1. Determine the number of 90 degree elbows in
the vent system. (Two 45 degree elbows count as
one 90 degree elbow.)
2. Refer to the table to find the maximum vent
length based on the number of elbows.
3. Adjust SW1 in DIPSW 1 (tan switches) if required
by the applicable note.

(90° elbow is equivalent to 6 feet; 45° elbow is equivalent to 3 feet.)

 If the length is greater than 21 ft (6.4 m) then
move SW1 to OFF.
 If the length is greater than 15 ft (4.6 m) then
move SW1 to OFF.
 If the length is greater than 9 ft (2.7 m) then move
SW1 to OFF.
 Move SW1 to OFF.
Example: If you have one elbow then your maximum
vent length is 35 feet (10.7 m). If your
actual length is greater than 15 ft (4.6 m)
then move SW1 in DIPSW 1 to OFF.
NOTICE
If you have a longer vent length (see number 3
regarding max. vent length), SW1 in DIPSW 1 is
required to be in the OFF position. This ensures the
water heater will run properly. Blocked flue
diagnostic codes and shutdowns may result if SW1 in
DIPSW 1 is not in the correct position.
