Extension Kit Installation
If necessary, extension kits are available to extend the exhaust line and air intake hose between the manifold and
the appliance. The maximum vent length is 13 feet (4 m) with 2 bends. The bent pipe attached to the appliance
does not count toward the max limit of 2 bends. Do not allow any low points in the exhaust line where condensate
will collect.
Vent extensions installed in unconditioned air space must be insulated with high temperature insulation and must
be accessible.
Vent extensions must not be concealed per NFPA 54 and must be accessible allowing inspection and repair.
Decorative covers are available from Rinnai.
