REGULATIONS, CLEARANCES & GENERAL INFORMATION
The heater and the flue system shall be installed in accordance with the following:
• Manufacturer's Installation Instructions
• Local Regulations and Municipal Building Codes
Before commencing an installation, read the installation sections of the 'Customer and
Installation Manual' supplied with the heater.
IMPORTANT
Note that AS/NZS 5601 is referred to in this instruction and was current at the time of printing, but
may have since been superseded. It is the Installer's responsibility to ensure that requirements
of the current version of AS/NZS 5601 are met.
These components MUST be installed, serviced and removed by an Authorised Person! ONLY the Rinnai flue
system components specified in this manual MUST be used. Componenents NOT specified in this manual,
whether manufactured by Rinnai or otherwise, are NOT compatible and MUST NOT be used!
Rinnai Energysaver space heater when correctly installed with Rinnai approved flue components are room-sealed
appliances and no internal ventilation is required. The Rinnai Energysaver space heater is fan-assisted. Therefore
the fan assisted flue clearance dimensions from AS/NZS 5601 extract shown on this page MUST be used.
The outer plastic section of the Co-Axial Flue complies with temperature hazard requirements and can be installed
with zero clearance to combustible material. Vertical clearances when using a roof terminal (ESROOFCOWL) are
shown in Fig.1. If in doubt contact the Rinnai Australia National Helpline (number on the back page).
