Page 19: Pipe Sizing Procedure - Example
Gas Piping Pipe Sizing Procedure - Example The gas supply must be capable of handling the entire gas load at the location. Gas line sizing is based on gas type, the pressure drop in the system, the gas pressure supplied, and gas line type. For gas pipe sizing in the United States, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54. -
Page 20: Isolation Valves And Pressure Relief Valves
Water Piping Isolation Valves and Pressure Relief Valve (RL75i and RL94i) The isolation valves provide the ability to isolate the water heater from the structure’s plumbing and allow quick access to flush the heat exchanger. Check with local codes to determine if a pressure and temperature relief valve is required. -
Page 21: Piping Requirements
• Ensure that the water filter on the Rinnai water heater is clean and installed. • The relief valve should be added to the hot water outlet line and near the hot water outlet according to the manufacturer’s instructions. -
Page 22: Manual Draining Of The Water Heater
If the water heater is not going to be used during a period of possible freezing weather, it is recommended that the water inside the water heater be drained. -
Page 23: Freeze Protection Piping
In the event of a power failure at temperatures below freezing the water heater should be drained of all water to prevent freezing damage. The unit may be drained manually. However, Rinnai highly recommends that drain down solenoid valves be installed that will automatically drain the unit if power is lost. -
