Description
The Rinnai Infinity Upwards Flue
Diverter is an accessory that can
be fitted to an external Rinnai
continuous flow water heater. It
is designed to expel combustion
products in a upwards direction.
Specific 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 the Infinity is installed
with the required clearances, will
perform more efficiently if the
flue gases are cleared upwards
and away from the obstruction.
- Installations where there are
multiple units installed that are
positioned facing each other—
the potential for the unit to
suffocate as a result of flue gases
from opposing units is minimised
as the flue gases are expelled
upwards.
Suitability
- Externally mounted Rinnai
Infinity continuous flow water
heaters NOT installed in a recess
box.
- Balconies, patios, or other
enclosed areas where all flue
products are expelled FREELY
into an above open-air situation
with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where products
of combustion are rapidly
dispersed by wind and natural
convection
Important
The flue diverter MUST remain as a
permanent fixture as removal could
mean the water heater position no
longer complies with AS/NZS 5601.1.
