Rinnai Innity composite recess box
Specification summary
Code
R1406
Description
The Rinnai Composite Recess Box
(beige) is an affordable alternative
to the Rinnai Metal Recess Box for
housing your Rinnai Infinity unit,
pipe work and power supply, and
can be painted to match your house.
The composite recess box enables a
Rinnai external continuous flow gas
water heater to be partially recessed
into an external wall, covered and out
of sight.
The unit protrudes approximately
120 mm from the framing it is
mounted to. The protrusion from
the finished wall will depend on the
cavity depth (if any) and the cladding
thickness.
Suitable for
- Installation with Rinnai Infinity
VT16, VT20, VT24, and VT26
units.
- New construction or major
renovation—installation needs
to commence during the
framing stage before internal
lining, claddings, or building
wrap is applied.
- Installation where the minimum
framing depth is 88 mm.
It is not suitable for fire rated walls.
Building code compliance
Territorial authorities may have
their own additional requirements
regarding this type of installation.
If in doubt over compliance with
building codes, it is advisable they are
consulted prior to installation.
Brick installations
Please contact Rinnai as customised
installation instructions will need to
be sent.
Positioning
An Infinity unit inside a recess
box operates at a slightly louder
level than an Infinity installed on
an outside wall. Please bear this in
mind when locating the recess box
and Infinity near a bedroom as the
operating noise could affect some
people.
Approximate depth with cover on = 240 mm
