Zero Clearance Installations
Rinnai understands that not all households have existing masonry fireplaces which previously limited the
products available for installation. Rinnai offers the option of installing the Slimfire into a decorative
fireplace in single storey or two storey home. All you need is a flat wall which can be either external or
internal wall and a zero clearance box. A Rinnai Rigid flue MUST also be installed (Part No. FLFKIT05 /
FLFTWKIT). Flexible flue kits are not suitable.
The Zero clearance box can be installed hard against the combustible timber framework of the mock
fireplace due to the air gap created beneath the appliance with the use of the plinth panel, and the air gap
between the outer panel of the Flame fire and the Rinnai Zero clearance box. (Part No. ZEROR). Only this
Zero clearance box must be used for these installations.
Rinnai Flame Fire Rigid Flueing allows the air to be drawn in through the louvres in the plinth panel, pass
around the sides and back of the Flame Fire heater and be drawn away through the outer skin of the flue.
The resulting air flow will keep the Zero clearance box panels at a safe operating temperature.
Refer to Rinnai Flueing Installation Manual for Rinnai Flame Fire Heaters for details of FLFKIT05 and
FLFTWKIT in conjunction with Zero Clearance kit installation.

metres.
The inner and outer flues must be supported
independently of the heater to comply with

Slide the plinth and base supports and heater into the zero clearance box, making sure the plinth is
located correctly between the heater and the zero clearance box.
8. Slide the slip socket onto the inner flue spigot of the heater and tighten to seal. Refer flueing
instructions for details.
9. Attach gas supply, purge supply of air and debris
Note: All foreign materials such as filings must be purged from the gas supply, as
before connection as they may damage the gas controls.
NOTE: on completion of work a gas leak test must be carried out.

• Preparation
Refer to the Location and Flueing sections
on pages 10-12 to make sure the decorative
fireplace cavity is suitable for installation
before continuing.
Place the heater on a flat surface.
Remove the three screws holding the front
fascia in place. (1)
Pull the bottom of the facia forward until clear
of the gas control buttons and lift up to
remove from frame.
Remove the two screws holding the top glass
retainer in place and lift off glass retainer. (2)
Loosen the two screws holding the lower
glass retainer in place and remove glass
panel. (3)
Remove the barrel elbow from the gas
connection bracket on the base of the heater
at the front right hand side. Make sure that
the gas flare fitting and gas supply pipe are
clean and free of damage and fit together
ready for fitting to the heater. (4)
• Installation
For installation into a non-combustible fire
place the foam strips supplied must be
attached to the heater as shown (5) to
provide a seal around the fire place (if this
does not provide adequate seal an
alternative must be used).
Insert the heater into the cavity. Take care
when inserting the gas supply tube into the
heater not to damage the tube or any of the
components inside the heater.
There are four levelling screws (6) in the
base of the heater held in place with
locknuts. If the heater does not sit flat when
in place, it may be necessary to adjust these.
The front screws are accessible with the front
of the heater removed. If adjustment of the
rear feet is required the burner assembly and
gas control will need to be removed.
Once the heater is sitting flat attach it to the
wall using the four holes (two per side) in the
front flanges.
