Installation guide Compact 2 Models: RIBF2N/RIBF2L
Important: The Compact 2 is not designed to be built directly into a combustible opening. For combustible opening installations, a Rinnai zero clearance box and flue kit is mandatory. The Compact 2 is not to be installed, or operated in places where painting is taking place, or in places such as hair salons where there is a lot of dust and fluff, and where aerosols are used. Appliance must be: -- Installed with a Rinnai supplied flue system.

Burners Ember bed and flame burner Combustion system Naturally aspirated multi port burner. Data plate Inside the appliance on the front right hand side panel.
Clearances The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the heater. In some case curtains may need restraining. The clearances listed below are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated. 80 mm Clearances The side and vertical clearances are measured from the edge of the frame. The 180 mm side clearance includes side walls.
Location The main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining. Enclosure dimensions The heater must be positioned on a flat level surface that allows free movement of the appliance. -- Masonry installations Use a slurry of sand and cement to level the base as required.
Gas and electrical connection Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance, as well as other gas appliances in the premises. The gas supply termination is inside the heater, and enters from the rear of the appliance. ½ ˝ BSP flared nut The length of the gas supply termination is measured from the front of the enclosure, including the thickness of any cladding material. ½ ˝ BSP male flare x ½ ˝ barrel union - elbow Vertical centre line Gas supply location 2 Gas supply location 1.
Compact 2 Flueing
Flueing options Masonry - no flexiliner Masonry - flexiliner Zero clearance- direct and offset Zero clearance - offset Flueing notes Masonry flueing Rinnai strongly recommends the use of a Rinnai flexiliner flue system. Failure to meet this criteria may result in an unsafe situation. Installation without a flexiliner flue is permissible as long as the chimney is checked for soundness and ability to achieve a good draw. If in doubt install a Rinnai flexiliner flue system.
Flueing guidelines Clearance to combustibles Minimum clearance from inner flue to combustible material must be greater than 25 mm. Flashings To top of chimney structure do not form part of the flue kit and must be specified. Flue cowl clearance To ensure products of combustion are cleared, adequate clearance for the building is required. The flue cowl should have a 500 mm clearance from any part of the building. This also applies to steeped and pitched roofs which should be clear of the ridge line as shown.
Masonry flue installations There are two types of masonry flue installations; open chimney and lined chimney. An open chimney uses the natural draft properties of a sound chimney, and an approved chimney plate and cowl to provide flueing for the heater. A lined chimney installation is used when the existing chimney condition is inadequate for an open chimney installation, and uses a Rinnai flexiliner system to provide flueing for the heater.

Flame pattern It may take approximately two hours of operation for the logs to achieve their full flame pattern and glow. During the initial burning in period, some smoke and smell may be experienced. The appliance should run on the high setting in a well ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern during this time.
