, and the luxury of fresh, clean hot water for all your
plumbing demands.
Heat Water Only When You Need It.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water
only when needed. When water flow is detected, the unit begins
heating water as it passes through the copper heat exchanger. When
the demand for water ceases, the tankless unit shuts down, using no
gas or electricity while idle.
Because of its tankless design, the Rinnai unit captures up to 84% of
the heat energy, making it highly efficient and cost effective. With it
revolutionary advantage over inefficient tank-style heaters, the Rinnai
Luxury Series is more efficient when it’s on – and off when it’s off.
Space-Saving Design Fits Any Home Perfectly.
Whether you’re building a spacious new home – complete with
luxurious spa bath and body spray system – or remodeling an older
home, Luxury Series units can be used individually, in pairs, or in
banks of three or more to supply all your hot water needs. Place
interior-mount units in any room and vent directly to the outside,
saving up to 16 square feet of valuable floor space over a tank-style
water heater. Or install the unit on your home’s exterior with no
additional venting, using a recessed enclosure that can be painted
or textured to match your home’s construction.

Accessories
Rinnai’s leading-edge technology extends beyond each Luxury Series unit to
include accessories that help your tankless water heater perform to its utmost.
• Digital controllers – set water temperature precisely for multiple locations;
automatically ll bath to pre-set temperature/volume; analyze and troubleshoot unit.
(MC-91 controller built-in on interior units, included standard with all exterior units.)
• Scale control system – extend unit life, reduce maintenance and save energy by
controlling limescale and corrosion caused by hard water.
Flexible Installation
For interior installation, Rinnai units use a concentric venting system – a single
vent assembly featuring an inner, metal vent for exhaust gases and an outer
PVC or metal tube for bringing combustion air from outdoors. The result: a
direct-vent, sealed-combustion system that offers optimum safety, performance
and ease of installation.
Exterior units require no additional venting and can be installed in a recessed
enclosure, which can be painted or textured to match your home’s siding.
Multiple Units
