2 Rinnai Rack Installation

Descripon

Rinnai Tankless Rack Systems (TRS) include wall mounted and free standing conguraons. The wall mounted
rack systems are available for 2 or 3 water heaters. Free standing rack systems are available for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
water heaters.

The TRS can be ordered with Rinnai’s Common Venng System, which consists of the CVent exhaust venng and
PP or PVC intake venng. Up to eight tankless units can share the same CVent system.

The Rinnai TRS features design details that make installaon simple and straighorward:

• Maneuverability: Fits, fully assembled, through standard 32-inch doorways and on elevators

• Flexibility: Available in both wall-mount or freestanding design for indoor and outdoor installaons.

• Preassembled Gas and water manifolds are properly sized to maintain opmum performance.

• The racks are constructed of powder-coated aluminum, powder coated steel, and stainless to stand up to the

most demanding commercial environments, while minimizing weight.

• Oponal electronic controls to obtain turn down raos of up to 327:1 (Sold Separately).

NOTE: The TRS is designed to be used with Rinnai tankless water heaters only. Do not mount non-Rinnai water
heaters on the TRS.

**Only the C199i is cered for both direct vent and exhaust only with room air (exhaust must terminate

vercally in room air applicaon) when installed in a commercial common vent applicaon only. Reference
