- Current AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3500, AS/NZS 5601.1 and G12/AS1 Must be installed, commissioned and serviced by an authorised person, being in New Zealand a licensed gasfitter. The Arriva and Evolve fires must be installed with an approved flue system, approved components are shown in this guide. Warning Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service and maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Due to the size of the Evolve unit and the cavity dimensions, the only direct flue kit available for the Evolve is the ASPDFK. The direct mushroom flue kits that can be used for the Arriva are not suitable as the telescopic exhaust section of the Evolve is not long enough to connect to the flue transition of the mushroom flues.
Flueing options For lowest cost, optimal performance, ease of installation and servicing, Rinnai recommend direct flued installations are considered before all other options. Maximum flue Maximum flue length = 8.5 m length and Maximum number of bends = three number of bends For every 90°...
The weight of the flue system must not be supported by the appliance, it must be self-supporting. 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: •...

The Arriva Direct A and B flue kits have an inbuilt 2° fall. 2° fall back to the fire A fall back to the fire is required when any part of the flue system goes horizontally and then vertically.
Two bends in a kit. Can be used separately, or together as a 90° bend. Refer additional images on p.26-27. Spacers are mandatory to ensure alignment of the flue and to stop the outer bends overheating 8 | Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21...

For installations where the unit is mounted directly on the inside of an external wall. This installation requires a 2° fall from the heater connection to the wall terminal to drain condensate and wind blown rain—the Arriva Direct A and B flue kits have an inbuilt 2° fall.
Direct flueing using the ASPDFK The ASPDFK is suitable from walls up to 385 mm thick. For the Arriva models it can be used as an alternative to the Direct A and B flue kits. The ASPDFK can be cut to length to suit wall thicknesses less than 385 mm. The ASPDFK can also be used in combination with ESPIPE900 for walls greater than 385 mm, this is called direct extended flueing.
6. Connect the condensate tube to the heater once it has been installed. Connection points will differ between the Arriva and the Evolve. For the Arriva refer to p.24. For the Evolve refer p.25. Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21 | 15...
5. Create the wall terminal, refer p. 21. 6. Secure joints between flue components through the outer pipes with screws and secure the entire flue system using the wall straps supplied. 16 | Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21...
This needs to be connected back through to the heater (separate hole required), which needs to be weathertight. Another option is to drain the condensate to a waste drain / gully trap through a PVC line. For more information please contact Rinnai. Steps for creating horizontal through-wall flueing 1.

Cut the inner pipe at this mark. Take care to keep the cut parallel to the outer pipe. The additional 12 mm shown in the diagram above is required to allow the component to be joined to another part. 20 | Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21...
The flue protrusion from the wall is approx. 14-16 mm. It must not be more than this as it will create a gap between the flue and the wall terminal, which will cause operational issues. Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21 | 21...
4. Fix the telescopic exhaust pipe in place with the flue slide stopper (provided in the ASPKIT03/ EVOKIT03) or the flue clamp bracket (provided with the heater for Arriva Direct A/B flues). 22 | Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21...

Complete the gas, air hose, and flue connection. If vertically flueing ensure the condensate tube, provided with the EVOKIT03 flue kit, is attached to the condensate pipe on the heater. Flue condensate pipe connection Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21 | 25...
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. The black spacer comes with the ESPIPE900. 26 | Arriva/Evolve flue installation guide: 10726-I 09-21...
