GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Rinnai 9 RHFE0800F_1000_1500 IM
FRAMING DIMENSIONS
Framework of the installation must conform to local building codes. Non-combustible materials need not be used.
If the appliance is elevated from the ground within the structure, a base must be constructed using suitable material
with supporting joists capable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the appliance.
CAUTION
AS/NZS 5601 “GAS INSTALLATIONS” requires that ue components be supported independently
of the appliance.
For the following framing dimensions it is important to be aware that the studs are o󰀨set—the cavity needs to be
framed based on the centreline of the glass, not the opening size.
Base Board and Cut-outs
To ensure everything lines up and ts properly, it is recommended that on the base the following dimensions are
pencilled; glass centreline, unit depth centreline, feet position, gas and room thermistor cut-outs.
* Assumes 10mm plasterboard / All dimensions in mm RHFE0800F RHFE1000 RHFE1500

C Support feet centres - left of glass centreline 640 740 990
D Support feet centres - right glass of centreline 360 460 710
E Gas supply / thermistor access - from front of enclosure* 77 77 77
CAVITY VENTILATION
Ventilation of at least 2000 mm² is required in the cavity ideally below the base of the heater engine. This is to
provide room air at ambient room temperature to the re thermistor located in the base of the heater engine.
Ventilation can be via a vent or an open toe kick at the base of the cavity, however it MUST be in the same room
and wall cavity as the heater.
Additionally the top of the cavity needs to be ventilated into the room or another space. This ventilation opening
MUST be at least 2000 mm². This opening is to prevent heat build-up within the cavity, which if left unventilated
could potentially cause damage to wall surfaces or coverings and / or cause the appliance to cut out.
ADDITIONAL FRAMING NOTES
Plaster board is set 1 mm back from the front edge of the frame to allow for a slim edge plaster nish.
To ensure the appliance performs correctly, without rattling, the heater engine MUST be installed on a at level
support base.
IMPORTANT
Issues caused by rattling res not installed on a at level base, as detailed in this guide, will NOT
be covered by warranty.

FRAMING FOR RHFE0800F
IMPORTANT
To prevent the transfer of heat from the heater engine to surfaces (including to surfaces of non-
combustible materials), a minimum 50 mm clearance MUST be maintained. Failure to provide this
clearance (especially at the non ue connection end of the heater engine) may cause permanent
heat damage to adjacent wall materials.
All dimensions are assuming a 10 mm plaster board.
Studs and joists are required directly below the support feet of the appliance.
Framing shown is 90 x 45 mm and the re platform shown is 18 mm plywood.
Allow room underneath the appliance for the gas supply to enter the re cavity (min. 100 mm).
The framing dimensions have the studs o󰀨set. This is because the cavity needs to be framed
based on the centreline of the Linear glass, NOT the opening size.
Where there is a requirement for a symmetrical installation, the cavity size will need to increase,
refer to the diagram below.

INSTALLING ENGINE INTO CAVITY
Using the handholds (white slots on the left hand end and carry bars on the right hand end), carefully lift and slide
the heater engine into the enclosure and position in place.
Adjustable Feet
Use the feet on all corners of the unit to adjust the re so that it is level. The feet are adjustable. Having the unit
level is critical to the installation, so the wall lining can be installed ush with the frame edge of the appliance.
Seismic Brackets
In areas where seismic activity can be expected. Secure the heater engine to the bottom of the cavity using the
four seismic brackets.
To level the unit and not a󰀨ect where the feet go, the seismic brackets need to be elevated before the unit is
installed into the cavity

Use a soapy solution to test all gas connections. If a leak is present bubbles will form at the leak
point. When nished remove any residue with a rag. Prevent any soapy solution from coming in
contact with electrical components.
ROOM THERMISTOR
Once installed the room temperature thermistor should be set so the bulb on the end is outside of the re box and
into an area where room air will be drawn over it from the lower room ventilation, refer to the image below.
IMPORTANT
The room temperature thermistor is provided with a 1.5 metre lead and is to be positioned so that
it is in the air ow of the cavity ventilation. It may be mounted directly to the inside of an air vent
grill. The thermistor MUST be accessible for servicing after the wall linings have been installed.
