Rinnai strongly recommends the use of a Rinnai
flexiliner flue system (flexi Ø 100 mm). Failure to
meet this criteria may result in an unsafe situation.

Installation without a flexiliner flue is permissible as
long as the chimney is checked for soundness and
ability to achieve a good draw. Terminal 240 mm x
45 mm rear discharge (spigot).

be fitted to all installations. Decorative chimney
installations require a Rinnai zero clearance box and
zero clearance flue kit.

Location

The main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The heater
must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into
contact with the appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining.

The Neo gas fireplace is not designed to be built into bookcases.

Standard flued appliances draw the air for combustion from the room so there is a need
for adequate ventilation. Adequate ventilation must be provided as per AS/NZS 5601.1.

Clearances around the heater

The clearances listed below are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated.

A Mantel height from top of glass 400 mm min.

B Mantel depth at A - 400 mm (vertical clearance) 250 mm max.

For every 50 mm of added mantel depth, there must be an additional 100 mm of
vertical clearance. For example; a mantel depth (B) of 350 mm will require 600 mm (A)
of vertical clearance.

C Surround from side of glass 200 mm min.

Surround depth at C - 200 mm side clearance 250 mm max.

D Min. mantel height from floor (when heater is mounted on the

floor)

910 mm max.

E Min. width for surround 915 mm min.

Mantels and surrounds

A mantel and surround are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances
shown below. Due to the number of different sized Neo frames, the dimensions are taken
from the edge of the glass.

A - Mantel height from top

of glass

B - Mantel

depth

C - Surround

from side of
glass

D - Minimum mantel height from floor

E - Minimum width for surround

Hearths

A hearth is not necessary, but can be used for decorative purposes or protection of
sensitive flooring if required. It must not obscure the front of the fire.
