Never…. Leave a toddler in the care of another child. They may not understand the need to have the water temperature set at a safe level. Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...
If the valve dribbles or leaks continuously, operate the easing gear for a few seconds. This may dislodge any foreign matter and stop leakage. If leakage does not stop Contact Rinnai to arrange inspection by a qualified person.
Undo the cold water inlet union. Attach a hose to the water heater side of the union. Let the other end of the hose go to a drain. Operate the PTR valve easing gear again. This allows air into the water heater and will result in water draining through the hose. Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...

A PLV MUST BE fitted if the supply pressure exceeds the limits shown. If the mains pressure is within the limits shown fitment of the PLV is optional. Valves with pressure ratings other than specified are unsuitable and MUST NOT be used. NOTE Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...
When multiple systems are installed, they MUST BE equal length and plumbed (see example figure above) to ensure pressure drops are balanced. WARNING For multiple systems and tanks, ensure the connecting pipework is configured to balance system pressure drop. Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...
It may be a requirement that the hot and cold water supply pressures to a Temperature Limiting Device (TLD) are equal. If this is the case, a PLV with the same pressure rating as the PLV for the hot water is required for the TLD as shown. Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...
This schematic is an example only, variations may also be suitable. CAUTION Tempered water from a TLD CANNOT be re-circulated. The TLD MUST BE positioned in a dead leg, branching off the circulated hot water flow and return pipe. Rinnai QRE – Vitreous Enamel – OIM – Issue 1...
This appliance is NOT suitable for use as a spa or swimming pool heater. LOCATION The Rinnai QRE storage water heater range have an ingress protection rating of IPX4 making them suitable for internal or external installation. The water heater should be placed as close as practicable to the most frequently used hot water outlet point or points to minimize the delay time for hot water delivery.
Rinnai recommend that an approved TLD is fitted into the hot water pipe work from the water heater to areas used primarily for personal hygiene such as bathrooms and ensuites to reduce the risk of scalding.
It is recommended that the anode be inspected at least every 5 years. The factory fitted Rinnai anode is Magnesium based. This anode is suitable when the total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water supply does not exceed 600 mg/L, which is the case in most areas. In areas where the total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water supply exceeds 600 mg/L the Rinnai aluminium based anode is required.
The thermostat is adjustable from 60°C to 80°C. Turning the adjustment knob anticlockwise decreases the temperature setting and turning it clockwise increases the temperature setting. Rinnai advise that the thermostat be set at 70°C as this temperature is sufficient for most commercial applications.
