Applications

The Rinnai sideways flue diverter is intended for
fitting to Rinnai continuous flow water heaters
installed on balconies, patios or similarly enclose d
areas to facilitate free
products out of the enclosed area. This may not
occur if the appliance is installed without the
sideways flue diverter.

Rinnai external continuous flow water heaters
mounted against a wall without the sideways flue
diverter, will expel flue products in a horizontal
direction outwards and away from the wall against
which the appliance is mounted. Fitment of the
sideways flue diverter results in the flue products
being expelled from the appliance in a sideways
direction, along the wall as shown in Figure 1.

Installation Requirements

Figure 2 (on page 2) shows the location conditions and clearances which apply when Rinnai
continuous flow water heaters are fitted with the sideways flue diverter and installed on balconies,
patios or similarly enclosed areas. Other relevant clearances in Figure 5.3 of AS5601 continue to
apply when the sideways flue diverter is fitted.

• Fitment of the Rinnai sideways flue diverter is suitable ONLY when all f lue products
