INFINITY upwards ue diverter
installation guide
The upwards ue diverter is an accessory that can be tted to an external Rinnai continuous
ow water heater. It is designed to expel combustion products in an upwards direction. The ue
diverter is tted with screws to the ue terminal
Important: The ue diverter MUST remain as a permanent xture as removal could mean the
water heater position no longer complies with AS/NZS 5601.1. All clearances must conform with
AS/NZS 5601.1.
Suitability
• Externally mounted Rinnai INFINITY water
heaters NOT installed into a recess box.
• Balconies, patios, or other enclosed areas
where products of combustion can be
rapidly dispersed into the open-air.

Specic applications
Noise reduction, in particular with larger
INFINITY models where the unit is positioned
close to a neighbouring property.
Where there may be an obstruction such
as a tree, fence, wall or other structure, that
even though an INFINITY is installed with
the required clearances, will perform more
e󰀩ciently if the ue gases are cleared away
from the obstruction.
Where there are multiple units installed that are
positioned facing each other—there is potential
for other units to su󰀨ocate from ue gases of
the unit directly opposite. With an upwards
ue diverter the ue gases can be expelled
upwards and away from the units.
Installation
Installation of the upwards ue diverter varies
depending on the model, this is due to the
di󰀨erent sizes of ue terminal.
Ensure the gas and electricity are turned o󰀨
before starting the installation.
Installation of the FDU16, FDU20, and FDU24
1. Remove the INFINITY front cover.
2. Remove and discard the existing foam
housing around the outside of the ue
terminal.
3. Remove the inside three screws from the
ue terminal and set aside.
4. Install the diverter onto the ue terminal,
reinsert screws and tighten.

place over the diverter and ue terminal.
This foam is thicker and will prevent the
metal components vibrating against each
other.

careful not to scratch the paint nish on the
cover.
