• Results are obtained while air handler is operating with a dry DX coil and air filter installed.
• Values are nominal and blower performance can vary higher or lower from these values based on the
evaporator coil that is used. Hot water heat air flow performance data includes associated air pressure
drop across a four-row hot water coil for models AH084P/CP, AH125P/CP, and AH166P/CP, and air
pressure drop across a three-row hot water coil for models AH083P/CP and AH206P/CP.
Domestic hot water recirculation circulates hot water through the plumbing system so that instant hot water is
available. Domestic hot water recirculation operates between calls for heat to ensure a balance of comfort for
HVAC heating and domestic hot water. If pairing a Rinnai Hydronic Air Handler with a tankless water heater for
domestic hot water recirculation capabilities, Rinnai recommends the following:
• Use an external recirculation pump controlled by a timer, aquastat, and/or an on-demand type control.
Do not use a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater equipped with recirculation capability1 with the Rinnai
Hydronic Air Handler.
• Size the air handler based off of the maximum allowable temperature for the domestic hot water system.
Refer to section “5.7.3 Domestic Hot Water Recirculation Piping Diagrams” for domestic hot water recirculation
piping diagrams.
For more information on domestic hot water recirculation, refer to the tankless water heater installation and
operation manual.
1 Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters equipped with recirculation capability include the SE+ Series featuring ThermaCirc360™
models (Super High-Efficiency Plus RUR Models).
This section is referring to domestic hot water recirculation in the plumbing system and not the circulation
of hot water between the air handler and tankless water heater/boiler.

Drinking Water Regulations
This section provides information on the
importance of water quality to the air handler. The
information is intended to serve as general
guidelines only and is not a complete list of water
quality guidelines.
Consideration of care for the air handler should
include evaluation of water quality.
• The water must be potable, free of corrosive
chemicals, sand, dirt, or other contaminants.
• It is up to the installer to ensure the water
does not contain corrosive chemicals or
elements that can affect or damage the boiler
or tankless water heater.
• Water that contains chemicals exceeding the
levels below can damage the boiler or
tankless water heater.

Hydronic Air Handler Installaon and Operaon Manual 19
Replacement of components due to water
quality damage is not covered by the warranty.
• Unsuitable heating system water can cause
the formation of scale or sludge, which
affects system efficiency. It can also cause
corrosion and reduce life of the heat
exchanger.
• Never use water that has been treated by a
reverse osmosis, deionized, or distilled
water to soften the water to fill the heating
system.
• Louvers or return air grilles are field-supplied.
Local codes may limit application of systems
without a ducted return to single-story
buildings.
• For a unit installed in a closet with a louvered
return opening, the minimum open area for
the louvers are:
Non-Ducted Return Closet Installation
• Clearances to combustible material is 0 in.
from unit casing, and 0 in. to plenum and
duct for first 36 in. (914 mm) and throughout
the remaining ductwork system.
• Clearance for servicing is 24 in. (610 mm) in
front of air handler.

IMPORTANT
• If the free area is not known, assume a 25%
free area for wood or a 75% free area for metal
louvers or grilles. Using the louver dimensions
and the 25% or 75% assumption, determine if
the louver open area meets the minimum open
area listed above.
• If the return air plenum is used, the return air
grille should be immediately in front of the
opening in the plenum to allow for the free flow
of return air.
• When not installed in front of the opening, there
must be adequate clearance around the air
handler to allow for the free flow of return air.

leakage that could cause condensate to
form inside the cabinet.
• If installed in an unconditioned space,
sealant should be applied around the
electrical wires, refrigerant tubing, and
condensate lines where they enter the
cabinet.
• Electrical wires should be sealed on the
inside where they exit the conduit opening.
Sealant is required to prevent air leakage
and condensate from forming inside the
blower, control box, and on the electrical
controls.
• The air handler and its complementing
cooling coil must be installed in such a way
as to allow free access to the air handler/
control compartment.
• The air handler and its complementing
cooling coil must be installed with a 3/4 in.
(19 mm) drop in the horizontal position
towards the drain pan to ensure proper
condensate drainage. The air handler and
