INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

External Models
The external Rinnai Infinity water heaters are designed for „Outdoor‟ Installation only. As such, it must
be located in an above ground, open air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas,
where products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
The exhaust slot on the front should follow the same location guidelines as a balanced flue terminal.
Ensure that the flue terminal and hot water outlet connection cannot be touched by children. The
exhaust slot must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.
When positioning appliance the flue terminal clearances must be in accordance with local requirements.
Consideration should be given to other appliances, openings, and boundaries.
LPG appliances may not be installed in basements or below ground level.
The wall or structure on which the heater is mounted must be capable of supporting the weight of the
appliance (listed on page 35) and associated pipework.
The heater must be installed in a vertical position with the gas and water connections on the underside
pointing downward.
Ensure that suitable screws or bolts are used to secure the water heater to the wall. Bracket and fixing
hole locations are shown on the template included. The top bracket has a keyhole slot so that the
appliance can be hung on one screw, and then the other fixings can be added to secure the unit.
The appliance should be placed as close as practical to the most frequently used hot water outlet point
or points to minimise the delay time for hot water delivery. For installations where the distance between
the unit and hot water outlet points is considerable, the appliance can also be fitted in a 'flow and return
system' which minimises the waiting time for hot water delivery. Alternatively, multiple appliances can be
strategically placed to service outlet points with minimal delay time.
Contact Rinnai or your supplier for further information.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE USED AS A DOMESTIC SPA OR SWIMMING POOL HEATER.
Please consider the location of the appliance and what is below it. As with any water fitting there is a
possibility that a connection or component could develop a leak over time; or water may spill during
servicing of the appliance. Rinnai can not be held responsible for any consequential water damage so it
may be necessary to fit a drain pan under the unit.
