INSTALLATION GENERAL
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
2. The Constellation Flame Fire is not suitable for installation in a bathroom or toilet.
3. The installation of the flue system must comply with the requirements of AS 5601 / NZS 5261.
Only Rinnai Decorative Flue components are compatible with the Constellation Flame Fire.
Rinnai Decorative Flame Fire flue component s com prise a flue terminal kit, extension lengths to
make 3.6 m of flue lengths flue mounting plate and connecting collar. Available as an additional
to the standard kit is a 45 degree offset kit. Examples of flue configurations as shown.
Detailed Flue installation instructions are included with the flue terminal kits.
Installation considerations are as follows:
1. The Constellation Flame Fire is designed to
be installed into a decorative surround. This
surround may be constructed of combustible
timber framework with plaster sheeting or
similar materials. The Flame Fire panels
remain cool enough to be in direct contact
with combustible surfaces.
A decorative surround may also be
constructed of masonry brickwork similar to
that used to construct conventional
fireplaces.
Console Installa tio ns with
Direct Vertical Flue
All installations must use the
Rinnai flue system designated for
the Constellation Flame Fire.
The design of this flue is incompatible with most
existing masonry fireplaces. For this reason it is
normally not practical to install the Constellation
Flame Fire into existing masonry fireplaces.
The decorative surround can encompass the
Flame Fire with the flue pipe exposed in the room
(“Console Installation”) or can encompass both
the Flame Fire and flue pipe provided clearance
requirements between flue pipe and decorative
surround material are met (“False Fireplace
Installations”). Refer to the diagrams.

NOTE
Page 14
Rinnai Australia - 14 - Constellation Model 800/1000 - In stallation Manual
INSTALLATION GENERAL
4. Since the Constellation Flame Fire is a decorative effect appliance, the space in which the unit
is installed must have adequate fixed ventilation compliant with the requirements of AS 5601.
For Decorative Gas Log Fires this requires that one or more openings with a combined free
ventilation area of not less than 314 cm² (31400 mm²) shall be provided for each appliance.
Notes regarding ventilation: *
The opening may be provided by any of the following options, provided that there is a ventilation path to
outside that is unobstructed by building material or insulation:
i. a) Directly through an outside wall (preferred option).
b) Through to an outside wall but offset.
c) Into a cavity ventilated to outside.
d) Into an underfloor space ventilated to outside.
e) Into a roof space ventilated to outside.
5. The Constellation Flame Fire comes
supplied with power cord and 3 pin plug
passing through the insulating bush in the
lower right hand side of the rear panel as
shown. This is suitable for plugging into a
10A earthed power point if this power
point is accessible to the end user with
the appliance in the installed condition.
This power point must not be located
above the appliance. If the power supply
is to be concealed, the appliance can be
directly hard wired by an Authorised
electrical tradesperson with an isolating
switch accessible to the end user with the
appliance in the installed condition. Refer
to AS 3000 and AS 5601 for details.
6. The Constellation Flame Fire must not
be installed where curtains or other
combustible materials could come into
contact with it. In some cases, curtains
may need restraining.
