Supporting the flue is usually completed during the framing stage with flue supports or straps within the cavity. Wall straps are included with most Rinnai flue components. Securing the flue To prevent the flue from moving or coming apart: •...

2° fall to the horizontal flue There must be a continuous fall of at least 2° to terminal the horizontal wall termination. This is so any fall rain water exits the flue naturally. Flue terminal locations Flue terminals must be compliant with the flue terminal locations shown in AS/NZS 5601.1.
Flueing options For lowest cost, optimal performance, ease of installation and servicing, Rinnai recommend short flue installations (less than 3 m) are considered before all other options. Short flue installations are shown below. ESWTERM 45° bends LSFKIT01 ASPDFK ESWTERM LSFEXTKIT01 45°...

Maximum flue length and Maximum flue length = 8.5 m number of bends Maximum number of bends = three For every 90° bend, the overall length must be reduced by 1 m. For example, if an installation has three 90° bends, the maximum flue length can be 5.5 m.

Flueing options continued Up and back, and up and over flueing Up and back through the wall flueing for walls up to 385 mm thick. Flue can be extended if the wall thickness is greater than 385 mm by using additional lengths of flue pipe. 1.
Air hose connection This step in the installation is critical. If the connections are not secured properly, products of combustion could disperse into the room being heated. WARNING The Linear comes with one end of the flexible air hose already connected to the Linear air inlet. Attach the other end of the air intake hose to the connection on the flue, either the ASPDFK or the LSFKIT01.
Flue components Due to heat from the flue components, maintain 25 mm clearance to combustibles for the first 500 mm of flue Direct flue kit - ASPDFK (aluminium) Adaption flue kit - LSFKIT01 Suitable for walls up to 385 mm thick (can be cut to length). Can also Includes flue adaptor, flue extension, be used with ESPIPE900 for longer flueing.
Flue component connections Adaption flue kit, and flue transition extension Flue pipe (ESPIPE900) The LSFKIT01 and LSFEXTKIT01 are the same at The socket end of the pipe containing the o-ring connects to each end—either end can be connected. the non-socketed end of the previous component. If cutting to connect to another component always cut the non-socketed end, never discard the socket o-ring end.
Side direct flue assembly The direct flue (ASPDFK) is suitable for ASPDFK Flue exhaust outlet walls up to 385 mm thick—can be cut to size and the wall terminal reattached. The flue must terminate 300 mm above ground level. Air inlet pipe With the Linear installed into the support framing: 1.
Side extended flue assembly Flue exhaust The direct flue (ASPDFK) can be outlet extended if the wall thickness is greater than 385 mm by using additional ASPDFK lengths of pipe. The flue must terminate 300 mm above ground level. Air inlet pipe With the Linear installed into the support framing: 1.
Up and back flue assembly Up and back through wall flueing for Flue exhaust outlet walls up to 385 mm thick. Flue can be 45 ° bends extended if the wall thickness is greater than 385 mm by using additional lengths of flue pipe.
Down and out flue assembly The down and out flue allows for Flue exhaust outlet the adaption flue component to face LSFKIT01 downwards, and for the flue to run vertically through a hole in the floor, and then terminate horizontally outside—flue must terminate 300 mm above the ground.
Cutting the ASPDFK and ESPIPE900 to length to connect to another part Cutting the ASPDFK or ESPIPE900 may be needed to achieve the required flue length to connect to another component. • The minimum length of the ASPDFK when measured from the back plate of the transition casting MUST NOT be less than 300 mm when joining to other components.
Steps to create a wall terminal t e r t e r t e r i o r i o r i o r 1. Fit the supplied external wall plate over the outer pipe of the flue protrusion (arrow points up) Once the external wall plate is in the correct position secure it to the wall using the three 22 mm screws into the wall plate holes.

Appendix 1: ESBEND 90° Outer plastic rated to 80 °C Outer plastic rated to 60 °C Rated to 200 °C Rated to 200 °C If installed incorrectly there is potential for the outer bend to overheat. The spacers are mandatory and required for correct alignment of the flue components when bends are used.
Appendix 2: ESBEND 45° If installed incorrectly there is potential for the outer bend to overheat. The spacers are mandatory and required for correct alignment of the flue components when bends are used. When fitted correctly the inner and outer pipes of the ESBEND will be self centering.
