REGULATIONS, CLEARANCES & GENERAL INFORMATION
The heater and the flue system shall be installed in accordance with the following:
• The requirements of the current version
of AS/NZS 5601 (Gas Installations)
Note that AS/NZS 5601 is referred to in
this instruction and was current at the
time of printing, but may have since been
superseded. It is the Installer’s
responsibility to ensure that requirements
of the current version of AS/NZS 5601
are met.
• Manufacturers installation instructions.
Before commencing an installation, read
the installation sections of the ‘Customer
and Installation Manual’ supplied with the
heater.
• Local & Municipal building codes.
• Any other relevant Statutory Regulation.
• Rinnai RHFE-750ETR / RHFE-752ETR,
RHFE-951ETR & RHFE-1250ETR Flame
Fires when correctly installed with Rinnai
approved flue components are room-
sealed appliances and no internal
ventilation is required. These models are
fan-assisted. Therefore the fan assisted
flue clearance dimensions from AS/NZS
5601 extract shown on this page must be
used.
• The outer plastic section of the Co-axial
flue complies with temperature hazard
requirements and can be installed with
zero clearance to combustible material.
• Vertical clearances when using a roof
terminal (ESROOFCOWL) are shown in
Fig.1.
• If in doubt contact Rinnai (phone number
on the back page).

1Where dimensions c, j or kcannot be achieved an equivalent horizontal distance
measured diagonally from the nearest discharge point of the terminal to the opening
may be deemed by the Technical Regulator to comply.
