The 37AHB Hydronic Furnace can be installed in a
closet on a supporting stand or be mounted from the
closet wall using the closet as the return air plenum.
Unit should be high enough from the floor to provide
unimpeded return air flow into the bottom of the
cabinet.
Closet return air opening can be on the front (in closet
door), side (thru the wall) or a combination of both,
providing there is clearance on the sides between
unit’s cabinet and closet. Refer to ACCA Manual D or
SMACNA for sizing and free area recommendations.
NOTE: Local codes may limit application of systems
without a ducted return to single story dwellings.
SUSPENDED CABINET INSTALLATION
If the cabinet cannot be supported on a frame or
supported from the wall, it may be suspended.
Use metal strapping or threaded rod with angle iron
under cabinet for support. These supports MUST run
parallel with the length of the cabinet (see Figures 6
and 7).
IMPORTANT: When a 37AHB unit is matched with an
evaporative type (cased coil/condensing unit) split
system for cooling application and the system is
installed above a finished ceiling and/or an occupied
space, building codes may call for a secondary
insulated condensate pan (by others) to be installed
under the entire unit. In other instances, some local
codes may allow the running of a separate, secondary
condensate line in lieu of the required drain pan. It is
the responsibility of the installer to consult local codes
for compliance.
WARNING
It is the installer’s responsibility to use an appropriate
hanging method capable of supporting the unit’s
weight. Refer to the specification section of this
document for the respective unit’s installed weights.
NOTICE

PLUMBING
Codes:
Observe all local sanitary codes when installing water
lines. The water supply mating connection to the
37AHB Hydronic Air-Handling Units are made via the
two (3/4 in. Dia. X 2-1/2 in. Long) copper stubs to the
front-left of the unit labeled “WATER IN” and “WATER
OUT” (see Figure 1). Mating connectors to be two
field supplied 3/4 in. FNPT-sweat ends or two fieldsupplied 3/4 in. SharkBite type FNPT-push fitting ends
or equivalent.
All associated hydronic piping MUST comply with ICC,
UPC and any other local codes or ordinances having
jurisdiction. USE POTABLE GRADE COPPER OR
OTHER PIPING MATERIALS. MATERIALS TO BE
LEAD FREE APPURTENANCES ONLY.
NOTE: Recommended piping, fittings, valves and
other appurtenances (exclusive of those indicted as
accessories that are available through Rinnai
distribution) called for in piping schematics to be fieldsupplied.
Flow Sensor Installation:
(Required for Open Loop Systems)
Mechanical Joining of Tubing:
Where used, refer to the respective mechanical
system manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Tubing Insulation:
Any tube conveying fluid at a temperature greater than
that of the surrounding air releases heat.
Insulate all accessible hot water lines and associated
valves with material, such as expanded neoprene or
polyurethane 3/8-in. to 1⁄2-in. thick.
Match the pipe sleeve's inside diameter to the pipe’s
outside diameter for a snug fit. Place the pipe sleeve
so the seam will be face down on the pipe. Tape,
wire, or clamp insulation every foot or two to secure it
to the pipe. If taping is desired, use acrylic tape
instead of duct tape.
Copper Tubing Support:
Copper tubing must be properly supported to prevent
sagging or buckling. On horizontal runs with hard
temper tubing, the following maximum support spacing
is suggested:
• 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. tube: 5 feet maximum spacing
Care must be taken to ensure that the flow sensor is
not damaged due to excessive tightening. The torque
must not exceed the maximum limit stated below. The
installation should be checked to ensure that no
leaking is evident.
Mating connectors to be (2) 3/4” FNPT fittings (field
supplied).
Pipe-work/connector alignment is imperative (avoid
bending stress).
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thread seal tape (teflon
tape), or equivalent, is recommended.
Tighten fittings to maximum torque of 15lb/ft (20Nm).
Soldering Copper Tubing:
The common method of joining copper tubing in
hydronic heating systems is soft soldering. Plumbing
codes do not allow solders containing lead to be used
for domestic water service. USE ONLY 95/5 tin/
antimony solder for all piping systems that incorporate
a domestic water supply.
Note: Precautions must be taken during soldering to
avoid debris or solder from lodging in piping
system.
• 1 in. to 1-1/4 in. tube: 6 feet maximum spacing
• 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. tube: 8 feet maximum spacing
The above suggested spacing does not account for
extra weight of piping components such as an
expansion tank, etc. When such components are
present the piping should be supported immediately
adjacent to the component.
On vertical runs, copper tubing should be supported at
each floor level or at a maximum of every 10 feet.
Thermal Expansion of Piping:
In all hydronic systems, piping undergoes temperature
swings as the system operates. This causes changes
in the length of the piping due to thermal expansion.
If the piping is rigidly mounted, this expansion can
cause annoying popping or squeaking sounds and in
extreme cases, the piping can even buckle.
To counter expansion movement, design piping
circuits with sufficient elbows, tees or expansion loops
(only used in large systems) or piping supports that
allow the tubing to expand and contract freely.
Another alternative is to install an expansion
compensator fitting capable of absorbing the
movement.

Rinnai Corporation Hydronic Furnace (37AHB) Manual
Installation
Hydraulic Resistance of Fittings, Valves, and Other
Devices:
Before the total hydraulic resistance of a piping circuit
can be found, the individual hydraulic resistances of all
fittings, valves, or other such components must be
determined. One approach is to consider each fitting,
valve, or other device as an equivalent length of
copper tube of the same pipe size (see Table 2).
By using the equivalent length of piping for all
components in the circuit, the circuit can be treated as
if it were a single piece of pipe having a length equal
to the sum of the actual pipe length, the total
equivalent lengths of all fittings, valves, or other
devices. Refer to Figure 10 and the associated
computation of equivalent lengths.
Pipe Sizing Considerations:
When selecting a pipe size for a given flow rate, the
resulting average flow velocity should be between 2
and 4 feet per second.
At water flow velocities of approximately 2 feet per
second, flowing water will carry air bubbles along a
vertical pipe. Average flow velocities of 2 feet per
second or higher can draw along air bubbles in a
downward flow. At the above stated velocities air
bubbles shall be routed to an air separator where they
can be collected and discharged from the system.
Use Taco 4900 series air separator, Model 49-075, or
equivalent (field supplied).
Average flow velocities higher than 4 feet per second
could cause flow noise and should be avoided.
Expansion Tanks:
All liquids used in hydronic heating systems expand
when heated. For all practical purposes, liquids are
incompressible. Any container completely filled with a
liquid and sealed from the atmosphere will experience
a rapid increase in pressure as the liquid is heated.
To prevent this from occurring, all modern hydronic
systems MUST be equipped with an expansion tank.
Refer to expansion tank manufacture’s instructions for
proper sizing and installation.

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING THE TOTAL
EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF PIPE
Given piping assembly as shown in Figure 10 below,
what is the total equivalent length of the system?
First determine the total straight pipe lengths; next
refer to table 2 to determine the equivalent straight
pipe length for each fitting shown. Add together the
equivalent lengths of piping and fittings.

Piping Configuration
When employing a Tankless Water Heater in a
combination hydronic hot water heating system, the
system is considered an Open Loop System; i.e. the
system must be configured to simultaneously deliver
both domestic hot water and space heating. By
definition, if the circuit is sealed off from the
atmosphere at all locations (as is true for most modern
hydronic systems) it is called a closed loop system.
Conversely If the circuit is open to the atmosphere at
any point, it is called an open loop system. Current
Rinnai tankless products are not certified for closed
loop applications. Furnaces may be used in closed
loop application only with the new Rinnai Condensing
Boilers. Refer to Boiler Manuals for more details.
Open Loop System
If piping is done in accordance with the recommended
schematic diagram shown in Figure 11, the following
purge and priming procedure applies.
PURGING AND PRIMING THE SYSTEM:
The following procedure describes how the Rinnai®
system may be piped to eliminate the need for a
“purge cart” to fill the system and remove entrapped
air bubbles.
STEP 1: CLOSE the air separator venting valve.
STEP 2: CLOSE ball valve 3 (BV

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION:
Safety Considerations:
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical
codes. Improper wiring or installation may damage
thermostat.
WARNING
Before installing thermostat, turn off all power to unit.
There may be more than one power disconnect.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Air Conditioner Model:
The Standard Model A/C thermostat may be wired
with or without connecting a common wire between
the indoor equipment and the thermostat. However, it
is recommended to use a common wire whenever
possible. Without a common wire this thermostat
becomes "power stealing." This means it will need to
steal a small amount of power from the equipment to
which it is connected. When "power stealing"
connection is used, the supplied 270 ohm resistor
must be connected at the indoor unit.
Heat Pump Model:
The Standard Model HP thermostat is not "power
stealing" and MUST have both ‘R’ and ‘C’ wires
connected to operate properly. This thermostat uses a
green LED to indicate auxiliary/emergency heat
operation.
Installation:
Thermostat should be mounted
• approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) from floor
• close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on
an inside partitioning wall
• on a section of wall without pipes or duct work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted
• close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a
door leading to the outside.
• exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun,
fireplace, or other heat-radiating object which may
cause a false reading.
• close to or in direct airflow from supply registers
and return-air grilles
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a
door or in an alcove
Refer to Figures 16 through 19 for thermostat wiring
diagram and thermostat installation instructions for
further details.

Shunt Jumper Options:
An additional feature of the 37AHB series is its
selectable operating sequence option; the 3-pin shunt
header (P7) allows the control to operate the proper
heating logic based on the following system
requirements:
The 37AHB unit in Open Loop configuration:
“FS” Shunt selection: The “FS” logic sequence will
configure the unit for operation with all Rinnai®
Tankless Water Heaters; this logic monitors the ratio
of available flow for space heating (via Flow Sensor);
this status is then communicated to the PCB whose
operating characteristics is primarily determined by the
status of the Flow Sensor input (sequence allows
domestic priority).
WARNING
Failure to follow this warning could result in an
electrical shock, fire, or death.
To minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should
occur, cabinet grounding MUST be an uninterrupted
ground and MUST comply with NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70
and all local codes having jurisdiction. The ground
may consist of electrical wire or metal conduit when
installed in accordance with existing electrical codes.
