3 Description of the boiler
Room sealed boiler
The boiler retreives its combustion air from outside then discharges the fl ue gasses to the outside.
Condensing
Retrieves heat as much as possible from the fl ue gasses. Water condensates on the heat exchanger.
Modulating
Stepless higher or lower burning according to the heat demand.
The Rinnai E50C boiler is a room sealed, condensing and modulating central heating boiler, with an integrated DHW fascility.
The boiler is provided with a compact stainless steel heat exchanger with smooth tubes. This design is a well engineered principle using durable materials. The boiler burns gas for supplying heat. The heat is transferred in the heat exchanger to the water in the central heating system. By cooling down the exhaust gases condensate is formed. This results in high effi ciency. The condensate, which has no effect on the heat exchanger and the function of the boiler, is drained through a condensate collector trap.
The boiler is provided with an intelligent control system (CMS Control Management System). The boiler anticipates the heat demand of the central heating system or the domestic hot water facility system.
When an outdoor sensor is connected to the boiler it will operate weather dependantly using outdoor reset. This means that the boiler control measures the outside temperature and supply temperature. With this data the boiler calculates the optimal supply temperature for the installation.

Water fi lter fi gure 8
The boiler has a self-adjusting and self-protecting control system for the load and the pump capacity. By this means, the temperature difference between the supply and return water is checked and controlled.
If the installation resistance is over the stated value; the load will be adjusted until an acceptable temperature difference between supply and return water has been obtained. If, after this, the temperature difference is still not acceptable then the boiler will switch off and wait until an acceptable temperature has arisen. If an unacceptable temperature is detected, the control will repeatedly try to achieve water fl ow over the boiler. If not the boiler will switch off.
As standard the boiler is provided with a water fi lter in the return pipe of the boiler, so that debris from the central heating water is prevented from affecting the boiler.
The boiler is designed to be used on pressurized heating systems only (closed loop).
The maximum available head pressure from the boiler pump for the system is 2 psi = 4.6 feet of head.
If the boiler is to be installed in a system that utilizes zone pumps and not zone valves a low loss header plumbing kit should also be installed (part number: 804000061).
If the pressure drop in the loop/system is greater than the available head pressure from the boiler pump a low loss header plumbing kit should be used (part number:

6.5.1 Domestic Water quality
Do NOT use toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment in potable water heating systems used for space heating.
The sanitary water pipes can be connected to the installation by use of adapter ttings. The cold water inlet on the Combi boilers must be equipped with the following components (counted in the water fl ow direction): Flow regulator valve (supplied), Safety group, Expansion vessel 87 PSI / 6bar (potable water, blue).
The 3/4" NPT adapter fi tting with fl ow reducing valve must be fi tted in the cold water connection. A fl ow regulator valve is supplied with the boiler in a 3/4"NPT adapter fi tting. The ow regulator valve ensures that a quantity of water is supplied which has a outlet temperature of 120°F (assuming a cold water temperature of 45°F). The quantity of water is virtually unaffected by the water pressure.
When there is a water pressure lower than 22PSI / 1.5 bar it is advisable to remove the inside mechanism of the fl ow reducing valve.
Appropriate steps must be taken to ensure the brazed plate heat exchanger does not become plugged by scale caused by hard water or sediment. If the plate heat exchanger becomes plugged by either scaling from hard water or sediment it is not the responsibility of Rinnai.
1. Water hardness for DHW
When there is a water hardness of more than 6 to 7 grains hardness for domestic water, a water softener must be installed on the inlet side of the DHW connection.
2. Sediment in DHW
If there is sediment in your domestic water supply a sediment fi lter or other suitable device should be used to remove it before the water enters the brazed plate heat exchanger.
3. Water Chemistry for DHW
The water used for domestic must have a water pH between 6.0 and 8.0, contain less than 1.7 gpg (20 mg/l) of Sodium, and a concentration of Chlorine less than 5.8 gpg (100 mg/L).
If problems occur when using sanitary water outside of the above stated requirements, no recourse can be made to the terms of the limited warranty.

A means to isolate the domestic plate heat exchanger for cleaning must be provide at installation. Refer to fi gure 10 for proper piping layout. A Rinnai valve kit can be used on domestic water connections for all combi boilers to allow for cleaning of the plate heat exchanger and installation the domestic hot water pressure relief valve.
• Rinnai recommends the use of the WRIK-LF-F (3/4” NPT thread connection) or WRIK-C kit (WRIK-C (3/4” sweat connection) when connecting the domestic water lines to the boiler
• Use of this kit will assist in fl ushing the fl at plate heat exchanger in areas where water quality issues exist, as well as improve overall product serviceability
6.5.5 Pressure relief Valve
- An approved pressure relief valve is required by Rinnai for all water heating systems.
- The relief valve must comply with the standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21.22 and/or the standard Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves, CAN1-4.4.
- The relief valve must be rated up to 150 psi and to at least the maximum BTU/hr of the appliance.
- The discharge from the pressure relief valve should be piped to the ground or into a drain system to prevent exposure or possible burn hazards to humans or other plant or animal life. Follow local codes. Water discharged from the relief valve could cause severe burns instantly, scalds, or death.
- The pressure relief valve must be manually operated once a year to check for correct operation.
- The relief valve should be added to the hot water outlet line according to the manufacturer instructions. DO NOT place any other type valve or shut off device between the relief valve and the combi boiler.
- Do not plug the relief valve and do not install any reducing fi ttings or other restrictions in the relief line. The relief line should allow for complete drainage of the valve and the line.
- If a relief valve discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
- Rinnai does not require a combination temperature and pressure relief valve for this appliance. However local codes may require a combination temperature and pressure relief valve.
- If a combi boiler is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backfl ow preventer in the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control thermal expansion.
6.5.6 Programming domestic hot water preheat
When plate warming is selected the brazed plate heat exchanger is kept warm and this reduces the wait time for domestic hot water by approximately 1 minute. When this setting is turned off the wait time for DHW is increased by approximately 1 minute.
Plate warming can only be deactivated when the fl ow switch accessory (part number 805000043) has been installed. If no fl ow switch is installed and parameter 36 is altered from the factory setting no DHW production will be possible.

This product is a domestic hot water priority boiler; therefore continuous fl ow in the DHW system (perhaps due to a leaky fi xture) may cause the boiler to remain in DHW mode — thus preventing the heating system from adequately functioning. In the event the DHW system has a leak, this feature should be turned off until this problem can be corrected.
This selection can be done with the fi rst digit of Parameter 36. Domestic hot water preheat ON = 1x (Factory setting) Domestic hot water preheat OFF = 2x See chapter 10 how to change a parameter.
The domestic hot water preheat setting is designed to increase the comfort of the home owner and reduce water consumption by reducing the wait time for hot water at the fi xture. This comfort setting will create a slight increase in the gas usage of the boiler, but this will be offset by the reduction in wasted water at the fi xture.
6.6 Condensate drain pipe
This boiler produces condensate. Condensate must be drained otherwise the boiler will not function and can cause product or property damage.
The condensation drain pipe should be connected to a drain in the building by means of an open connection. By this means the possibility of drain gases effecting the boiler is prevented. The drain connection should have a minimum diameter of 1.3" / 32mm.
i i
NOTICE
NOTICE
Install the condensation drain pipe according to applicable local code.
If the condensate outlet of the boiler is lower than the public sewage system a condensate pump must be used. The condensate produced by the boiler has a pH value between 3 and 4. Install a neutralization unit if required by local code. It is recommended, but not required to install a condensate neutralizer. Rinnai offers a condensate neutralizer designed to work with all boiler models. The condensate neutralizer kit comes with all the necessary fi ttings and mounting material. PVC pipe must be supplied by the installation contractor. Rinnai part number: 804000074
Do not drain the condensation water to the external rain gutter because of the danger of freezing and blockage of the drain.
Before putting the boiler into operation fi ll the condensate trap with 1.27 cups / 300 ml of water. If the boiler will be installed in a high temperature installation
such as baseboard with a supply temperature of 160°F or above, fi ll the condensate trap with mineral oil instead of water.
Use materials approved by the authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such authority, PVC and CPVC pipe must comply with ASTM D1785, F441 or D2665. Cement and primer must comply with ASTM D2564 or F493.
Periodic cleaning of the condensate disposal system must be carried out. See the Rinnai Boiler Application Manual for further information and for a piping diagram for the condensate.

Consult local and state codes pertaining to special building code and fi re department requirements. Adhere to national code requirements.
Follow the listed maximum length of vent systems, which are boiler output dependent. The maximum permissible lengths are listed in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
Decide how to install the exhaust and air intake system. You can choose between:
- Parallel system (see chapter 6.7.2a)
The parallel connection is provided standard initially. The boiler concentric connection diameter is 2x 80mm. In this case a seperate supplied kit, with 2 vent adapters 3" should be fi tted on top of the boiler, to which the venting and air supply system can be fi tted, with or without elbow pieces. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
- Concentric system (see chapter 6.7.2b)
The boiler can be converted to a concentric system with an optional adapter (Part nr. 808000023). It is possible to use a concentric connection of 3"/5" (80/125 mm). In this case a optional kit, with 1 concentric fl ue adapter, 3" cover and gaskets should be fi tted instead of the 3" connections on top of the boiler. See chapter 6.7.3.1 for installation. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
- Room Air System (outdoor combustion air)
The boiler can use room air for combustion. If this option is selected the boiler must be kept in initially standard parallel vent system. A single exhaust pipe can then be tted. It is required to use a room air fi lter (Part nr. 808000025) when using indoor air for combustion. See chapter 6.7.3.2 for installation. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
Rinnai strongly recommends the use of the room air fi lter when a Room Air System (indoor combustion air) is used.
When the boiler is installed in any of the areas listed in chapter 5.1, "Areas likely to have contaminants" or any area exposed to the contaminants listed in chapter 5.1, then sealed combustion is required.
We advise to install a vent system out of the venting system program supplied by Rinnai (See chapter 19 Parts list Vent system). For further information about the available components of the venting and air supply system we recommend you consult Rinnai and the Installation instructions and parts list documentation.

Terminals should be positioned as to avoid products of combustion entering openings into buildings or other vents.
Maintain 12” of clearance above the highest anticipated snow level or grade or, whichever is greater. Please refer to your local codes for the snow level in your area.
The termination shall be at least 4 feet (1,220 mm) distance from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment. (for room air application only)
Horizontal vent systems should always be installed sloping towards the boiler (min. 21 mm/m, 1/4”/ feet), in order to avoid condensate retaining in the vent system. With the condensate running back to the boiler the risk of ice forming at the terminal is reduced.
The whole route of the vent system must be installed upwards, never downwards, completely nor partly.
Place pipe supports every 4 feet (1219 mm) of horizontal run, beginning with the support near the boiler to prevent movement in fi ttings and allow boiler to be free from any strain or weight on boiler or fi ttings.
The terminal should be located where dispersal of combustion products is not impeded and with due regard for the damage or discoloration that might occur to building products or vegetation in the vicinity (see fi g 15 and 16).
In certain weather conditions condensation may also accumulate on the outside of the air inlet pipe. Such conditions must be considered and where necessary insulation of the inlet pipe may be required. In cold and/or humid weather water vapor may condense on leaving the vent terminal. The effect of such ‘water condensation’ must be considered.
The terminal must be located in a place not likely to cause a nuisance. Cellular or Foam core PVC is not permitted for use with the boiler.

WARNING
The wall mounted boiler must be vented and supplied with combustion and ventilation air as described in this section. Ensure the vent and air piping and the combustion air supply comply with these instructions regarding vent system, air system, and combustion air quality.
Inspect fi nished vent and air piping thoroughly to ensure all are airtight and comply with the instructions provided and with all requirements of applicable codes.
Failure to provide a properly installed vent and air system may cause severe personal injury or death.
Use only the material listed in Rinnai's vent documentation for vent pipe, and ttings. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Installation must comply with local requirements and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
For closet and alcove installation, CPVC material (instead of PVC) must be used in a closet/alcove structure. Failure to follow this warning could result in fi re, personal injury, or death.
All vent pipes must be connected and properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of a 1/4”/foot (21 mm/m) back to the boiler (to allow drainage of condensate). Please refer to the venting manufacturer's manual to see if a larger pitch is required for specifi c venting systems. The venting system manufacturer's required venting pitch must always be followed if larger than 1/4” (21 mm). Ubbink concentric condensing venting requires a pitch of ¾”/ foot (6mm/m).
Combustion air piping from the outside MUST comply to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

6.7.8 Room Air System (indoor combustion air)
When using indoor air, Rinnai strongly recommends the use of an indoor air lter, P/N 808000025.
WARNING
!
This boiler requires adequate combustion air for ventilation and dilution of fl ue gases. Failure to provide adequate combustion air can result in unit failure, fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury or death. Use the following methods to ensure adequate combustion air is available for correct and safe operation of this boiler.
Important: Combustion air must be free of corrosive chemicals. Do not provide combustion air from corrosive environments. Appliance failure due to corrosive air is not covered by the limited warranty. Combustion air must be free of acid forming chemical such as sulfur, fl uorine and chlorine. These chemicals have been found to cause rapid damage and decay and can become toxic when used as combustion air in gas appliances. Such chemicals can be found in, but not limited to bleach, ammonia, cat litter, aerosol sprays, cleaning solvents, varnish, paint and air fresheners. Do not store these products or similar products in the vicinity of this boiler.
Unconfi ned Space:
An unconfi ned space is defi ned in NFPA #54 "as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kW per hour) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfi ned space." If the “unconfi ned space” containing the appliance(s) is in a building with tight construction, outside air may still be required for proper operation. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confi ned space.

Confi ned Space:
(Small Room, Closet, Alcove, Utility Room, Etc.) A confi ned space is defi ned in the NFPA #54 as "a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kW per hour) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space." A confi ned space must have two combustion air openings. Size the combustion air openings based on the BTU input for all gas utilization equipment in the space and the method by which combustion air is supplied: Using indoor air for combustion Using outdoor air for combustion
Louvers and Grills
When sizing the permanent opening as illustrated in fi gure 17, consideration must be taken for the design of the louvers or grills to maintain the required free area required for all gas utilizing equipment in the space. If the free area of the louver or grill design is not available, assume wood louvers will have 25% free area and metal louvers or grills will have 75% free area. Under no circumstance should the louver, grill or screen have openings smaller than ¼”.
Example: Wood: 10 in x 12 in x 0.25 = 30 in2 Metal: 10 in x 12 in x 0.75 = 90 in2
Location
To maintain proper circulation of combustion air two permanent openings (one upper, one lower) must be positioned in confi ned spaces. The upper shall be within 12 inches of the confi ned space and the lower opening shall be within 12 inches of the bottom of the confi ned space. Openings must be positioned as to never be obstructed.
Combustion air provided to the boiler should not be taken from any area of the structure that may produce a negative pressure (i.e. exhaust fans, powered ventilation fans).

The Rinnai room thermostat and controls must be connected to their allocated connections. All other types or makes of room thermostats or controls which are used must have a Volt free contact.
When using an on/off thermostat or control, it may be necessary to calibrate the anticipating resistance to prevent too high temperature fl uctuations. As a standard rule this means mercury thermostats. This resistance wire is present in the Control Tower and must be connected to terminals 23 and 27. The anticipating resistance in the room thermostat has to be set at 0.11 A. For more detailed questions regarding the components which are not supplied, the distributor should be contacted.
When wiring an RS100 it is suggested that a jumper be placed on terminals 22 and 23 so that in the event the control is damaged the boiler will still fi re based on outdoor reset. A jumper should also be used when commissioning or trouble shooting the boiler.

8 Boiler controls
The boiler is provided with a fully automatic microprocessor control, called CMS Control Management System. This control simplifi es operation by undertaking all major control functions. Initially when power to the unit is switched on it will remain on standby. There is no indication LED on, until one of the program buttons is pressed. The control panel display will show the relevant state. When the boiler installation is empty the display will show FILL. The various parameters can be called up in two ways:
The Good-state or standard read out
The fi rst way shows a simple display read out. The boiler in operation will always show 'Good'. When a message is necessary this will be shown instead of Good.
Technical read out
The second way is a technical read out. In normal situations the following will be shown:
Example
Example
on the left the status in which the boiler is active;
on the right the supply temperature in °F; Alternately indicated by:
the water pressure in the installation in PSI. When a message (error or blocking code) is necessary this will be shown instead of the technical read out.
i
NOTICE
T o switch over from the Good-state to the Technical read out (and vice versa):
- Press the STEP-button for 5 seconds.
When the system has been fi lled the automatic de-aeration program starts, when a program has been selected, by pressing the button for Central Heating, DHW or pump
program ( , of ). The program takes 17 minutes and stops automatically. After this the unit will function normally. (See also 'Filling and de-aerate the boiler and installation, chapter 9).
On a call for heating or hot water the control system will select the required water control temperature. This water temperature is called the T-set value. On a call for central heating the boiler ignites fi rst at low input. The input is then changed slowly to match the load required. The boiler operates in this way to avoid excessive water noises and temperature overshoot. On a call for domestic hot water supply the T-set value of central heating return water temperature is monitored. Depending on the amount of domestic water which is withdrawn from the DHW fascility, the central heating return water temperature, from which the input is adjusted, will vary.

- Close the gas shut off valve
- Shut off the power at the main power switch
- Close the service valves (system supply and return)
NOTICE
Take note of the following when maintenance or adjustments are needed:
- The unit must be able to function during these activities; for this reason, the unit’s supply voltage, gas pressure and water pressure must be maintained. Ensure that this is not a source of potential danger during these activities.
Following maintenance or other activities; always check the installation of all parts through which gas fl ows (with bubble test using leak-search spray).
9.1 Requirements of the water system
Before fi lling the heating system, the complete system, including all zones, must be thoroughly cleaned and fl ushed to remove sediment. Flush until clean water runs free of sediment. Rinnai suggests using an approved system cleaner to fl ush the system, but not the boiler. Always use Rinnai approved antifreezes. See the list at the end of this chapter. Never use reverse osmosis, D.I., or distilled water for fi lling the heating system.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler system. Damage of seals and gaskets in boiler and system could occur, resulting in property damage.
The central heating installation needs to be fi lled with potable water.
Use only potable water or approved glycol for fi lling the heating system. When the water hardness of the fi lling water exceeds > 10.5 gpg (200 mg/L) and the volume of the installation > 20L/kW (5.2 gallons/3,412 BTU) the water has to be treated until below the maximum value of 10.5 gpg (200 mg/L). The pH value of the installation water must be between 6.5 and 8.5.
Check the pH value using proper equipment or by having the water analyzed by a water treatment company. If pH differs from above, contact Rinnai engineering for further assistance.
Component or product damage as a result of failing to adhere to the water quality requirements will not be covered by the limited warranty.

WARNING
NOTICE
i
Freeze protection for new or existing systems must use glycol that is specially formulated for this purpose. This includes inhibitors, which prevent the glycol from attack the metallic components. This should be for multi-metallic components. Make certain to check that the system fl uid is correct for the glycol concentration and inhibitor level. The system should be tested at least once a year and as recommended by the producer of the glycol solution. The allowed maximum concentration is 50%.
Use only Rinnai approved inhibitors. See below for an approved list of inhibitors.
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions, which are specially formulated for central heating systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in the boiler and system. Approved glycols are listed below.
Additives in the installation water are not permitted.
Approved antifreeze: • Rhomar RhoGard Mutli-Metal (AL safe) • Sentinel X500
(max. concentration 50%) • Noble Noburst AL • Fernox Alphi 11
Approved system cleaner: • Noble Noburst Hydronic System Cleaner • Fernox F3 Cleaner
Rhomar Hydro-Solv 9100 Sentinel X400
The system cleaners from NoBurst, Rhomar, and Fernox are not to be used in the boiler. The boiler must be closed off (valved off) from the rest of the system or not connected while the cleaners are in the system. The system should then be drained and then thoroughly fl ushed with clean water to remove all the system cleaner.
Approved inhibitors: • Rhomar Pro-tek 922 • Sentinel X100
• Noble Noburst AL inhibitor
9.2 Filling the heating system
For fi lling or topping off the installation you use the fi lling loop according to the following procedure:
1 Switch on the power supply;
2 The display will show FILL;
3 All functions off (heating , DHW and pump );
4 Push briefl y the 'STEP'-button: P XX (XX = water pressure in PSI);
5 Open the fi lling loop (Indication on display increases);
6 Fill up slowly to 16 to 18 PSI;
7 STOP appears on the display;
8 Close the fi lling loop;
9 De-aerate the complete installation, start at the lowest point;
10 Check the water pressure and if necessary top it up;
11 Close the fi lling loop;
12 Activate the functions in use (heating , DHW and/or pump );

16 Press the ‘STEP’-button;
17 Be sure that the fi lling loop is closed.
18
After the automatic de-aeration program (A XX) is fi nished the boiler will return to
the Good state or Technical read out.
Check the water pressure regularly and top off the installation when necessary. The working pressure of the installation should be between 16 and 18 PSI when the system is cold.
It can take a while before all air has disappeared from a fi lled installation. Especially in the fi rst week noises may be heard which indicate the presence of air. The automatic air vent in the boiler will remove this air, which means the water pressure can reduce during this period and therefore topping off with water will have to be done.
During normal use the following messages can occur with the necessary follow up:
Water pressure is too low (<10 PSI), FILL indication remains continuously visible, the boiler is taken out of operation. The installation needs to be topped off.
9.3 Hot water supply
Apply the water pipe pressure to the DHW fascility (open main valve and/or stop valve of the safety group).
Vent the DHW fascility and the hot water installation by opening a hot water shut off valve. Leave the shut off valve open for as long as required until all air has disappeared from the DHW fascility and the pipes and only water is fl owing from the shut off valve.
Water pressure is too low (<12 PSI), flashing FILL will alternate with indication of water pressure, boiler power of 50% is possible. The installation needs to be topped off.
Water pressure is too high (>42 PSI), if HIGH indication remains continuously visible, the boiler is taken out of operation. The installation pressure needs to be decreased by draining water.

Installing casing fi gure 25
WARNING
!
DANGER
!
Failure to properly commission the boiler as described in section 13 may result unreliable burner operation, reduced component life, and unsafe boiler operation.
The boiler and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5kPa).
To commission the boiler the casing has to be removed.
-
remove the 4 screws A,B,C and D in the quick releases of the casing (fi gure 25);
- remove the screw E behind the door on the front of the casing (fi gure 25);
- remove it towards the front.
The boiler settings, such as burner pressure and adjustment of the air quantity are unnecessary in most cases, due to the fact that the boiler operates with a zero pressure control. This means the correct gas quantity is controlled by the suction operation of the fan. The fi ne adjustment of the zero pressure, which is carried out at the factory is once-only, which means that adjusting of this value is unnecessary. Only in case of replacing of the gas valve, venturi and/or fan will the zero pressure adjustment have to be checked and, if necessary, adjusted to the right value.
The venturi must always be checked and adjusted when it is out of range see section 12.3 on O2 adjustment.
Always check the installation of all parts through which gas fl ows (by bubble test using leak-search spray).
Pump commissioning procedure should be followed before the boiler is red for the rst time:
1. Remove the vent pump screw
2. Use a small fl at head screw driver to ensure the impeller spins freely.
3. When the impeller spins freely and water exits though the vent port the pump is ready for operation.
4. Replace the vent screw
During the commissioning of the boiler the Rinnai Installation, Commissioning, and Service card must be fi lled out.

Make sure that during refi tting the clamping rods they are put in the right position. They should be turned vertical. If the boiler should activate with clamping rods in the wrong position it will cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Ignition electrode (every 4 year maintenance) This can be checked by measuring the ionization current. The minimum ionization current has to be higher than 4μA on full load.
If the inspection glass is damaged the complete electrode must be replaced.
Replace the ignition assembly after every 4 year, whichever occurs fi rst. Replacement goes as follows:
- Remove the electrical connections of the electrode;
- Press the clips on both sides of the electrode to both sides and remove the complete electrode;
- Remove and replace the gasket;

18 Common venting guidelines
Do not common vent with the vent pipe of any other boiler or appliance. However, when an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation:

(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. (b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and otherdefi ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between
the space in which the appliances remaining connected to thecommon venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fi replace dampers.
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of mainburner
operation. Use the fl ame of a match or candle, or smoke from acigarette, cigar or pipe.
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above,return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fi replace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.”
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the
installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/ or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
