Installation Considerations - Rinnai 800 Operation & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION GENERAL

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Installation considerations are as follows:
1. The Constellation Flame Fire is designed to
be installed into a decorative surround. This
surround may be constructed of combustible
timber framework with plaster sheeting or
similar materials. The Flame Fire panels
remain cool enough to be in direct contact
with combustible surfaces.
A decorative surround
constructed of masonry brickwork similar to
that used to
fireplaces.
All installations must use the
Rinnai flue system designated for
NOTE
the Constellation Flame Fire.
The design of this flue is incompatible with most
existing masonry fireplaces. For this reason it is
normally not practical to install the Constellation
Flame Fire into existing masonry fireplaces.
The decorative surround can encompass the
Flame Fire with the flue pipe exposed in the room
("Console Installation") or can encompass both
the Flame Fire and flue pipe provided clearance
requirements between flue pipe and decorative
surround material are met ("False Fireplace
Installations"). Refer to the diagrams.

2. The Constellation Flame Fire is not suitable for installation in a bathroom or toilet.
3. The installation of the flue system must comply with the requirements of AS 5601 / NZS 5261.
Only Rinnai Decorative Flue components are compatible with the Constellation Flame Fire.
Rinnai Decorative Flame Fire flue components comprise a flue terminal kit, extension lengths to
make 3.6 m of flue lengths flue mounting plate and connecting collar. Available as an additional
to the standard kit is a 45 degree offset kit. Examples of flue configurations as shown.
Detailed Flue installation instructions are included with the flue terminal kits.
