Gas supply and connection
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances in the
premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for the total gas rate. An approved sizing
chart such as the one in AS/NZS 5601.1 should be used.
The gas supply termination is inside the
heater and enters through the rear of the appliance.
Gas supply location
1. Mark off the location for the vertical centre line of the
heater enclosure.
2. To the right of the vertical centre line, mark off the vertical
2 and horizontal 3 locations for the gas supply penetration.

The length of the gas supply termination
is measured from the front of the
enclosure.
The length of the gas supply termination
is measured from the back of the heater
plus 155 mm.
Installer to terminate to suit, and fit

joint between the flexible gas connection
and termination.
Gas connection
Firmly grasp the stainless steel flexi pipe
and bend to line up with the gas control

manufacturer.
IMPORTANT
Neo RIB2312 installation guide: 12148-A 01-17 | 9
Electrical connection
The Neo is supplied with a power cord (length 1500 mm) and a 3-pin plug. The
standard electrical connection passes through the rear panel, but can also pass
through the left or right hand side of the unit by removing the knockout tab from
the bottom edge of the front panel. If changing the electrical position use the
rubber grommet from the rear of the appliance for cable protection.
The connection is either direct wired* or
connected to a power point within the cavity. This
must be connected to a dedicated 240 V, 10 A
earthed power point. The electric isolation switch
must be accessible after the appliance has been
installed.
The heater must not be located immediately below
a socket outlet (potential fire hazard).
The power cord is not fire rated and should not
come into contact with the unit. If the power cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by a licensed
tradesperson. This must be a genuine replacement
part available from Rinnai.
* Consult a qualified electrician if direct wiring is required as it must comply with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 3000 and other
relevant local regulations
Using existing externally mounted power points on inbuilt installations
If you already have an existing power
point outside the enclosure, you can
redirect the power cord and plug through
the LHS or RHS of the front panel. With
the frame removed redirect the cord and
plug (with the grommet), underneath the
unit and to the front (left or right).
Remove the pre-punched metal knockout located in the lower left or right edge
of the frame. Refit the cord and plug to
the frame, ensuring the grommet is fitted
to the metal knock-out. Excess cord may
be left in the cavity below the unitDO
NOT coil excess cord.
Electrical knock-out position on a Neo frameknockout is on both sides of the frame.

Enclosure dimensions for inbuilt models
The main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The
enclosure dimensions provided are critical to the installation of this appliance and
must be adhered to.
The heater must be positioned on a flat level surface that allows free movement of
the appliance.

Use a slurry of sand and cement to level the
base as required.

The zero clearance box needs to be supported
within the enclosure. Either construct a base
using board with supporting joists or support
with the frame itselfmust be capable of
supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight
of the appliance.
Important
The total cavity depth MUST also include the
thickness of the external cladding as the zero
clearance box MUST BE installed flush with the
cladding surface to ensure alignment of the
flue.

Mantels and surrounds - inbuilt models only
Combustible mantels and surrounds require clearance from the unit to minimise
the risk of fire. Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible materials such as
wood, are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown.
The Neo gas fireplace is not designed to be built into bookcases.
A
B
C
A Mantel needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the inner glass.
B Maximum mantel depth at 400 mm (A) is 250 mm.
C Surround needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the inner glass.
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth there must be an additional 100 mm of clearance from
the edge of the inner glass.
For example:
