Tankless Hot Water Heaters, Efficient, Effective, Endless.
Rinnai Installation Diagram
Rinnai Installation Diagram |
If you decide that a tankless water heater is a good idea for your home you should consider the requirements that your house will need to meet first. Tankless systems have a number of additional needs over your conventional tank water heater. We install more Rinnai than any other system so I will give the specifications for this system, although they are all quite similar.
A 3 FT clearance is required for the following:
- a. Windows
- b. Any exhaust outlets – Furnace, dryer vent, kitchen vent etc.
- c. Gas Meter – The vent needs to be at least 3 feet from the gas meter and the pressure relief valve.
The vent also needs to be 1 foot above grade and cannot be vented into any shared walkway that is less than 5 feet wide.
This diagram should help explain it.
