Rinnai Linear Series Flue Installation Guide

General ueing guidelines
Flue clearances to
combustibles
Due to the heat from the ue components, maintain a 25 mm
clearance to combustibles for the rst 500 mm of ue.
Flashings Flashings are not included with the ue kits, these must be
specied.
Flue support The weight of the ue system must not be supported by the
appliance, it must be self-supporting. Supporting the ue is
usually completed during the framing stage with ue supports
or straps within the cavity. Wall straps are included with most
Rinnai ue components.
Securing the ue To prevent the ue from moving or coming apart:
• Joints between the ue components MUST BE secured by
short screws
1
(max. length 6 mm) through the outer pipes
(easier to undo if necessary).
• Flue components must be secured to the wall using the ue
straps provided in each ue kit, refer image above.
Lubricate o-ring seals
before connecting
The inner pipe joints are sealed with an o-ring seal lubricant. A
small plastic tub of silicone grease is provided with the main ue
kits. Use this silicone grease to lubricate the o-rings on the inner
pipes prior to assembly. This is important as o-rings can dry out
and break, and replacing o-rings is di󰀩cult.
Do not use petroleum based lubricants as these will cause
deterioration of the o-ring seals.
Flue sections located
outside
Sections of the ue located outside require the following:
• Only use PVC cement between the joints of the outer PVC
pipes to secure and seal the joints against ingress of dust
and water.
• Only use non-acidic silicone sealant between the joints of
the outer PVC pipe and any mating aluminium components
to seal the joints against ingress of dust and water. Silicone
containing acetic acid or other acids as the curing agent may
cause the aluminium to corrode.
Shared ues Gas appliances must not be connected to a chimney or ue
serving a separate ue burning appliance.
Condensate A condensate trap or drain is not required for Linear installations
as little or no condensate is produced, as the ue runs hotter in
Linear installations.

Screws must not touch the inner pipe—could cause a transfer of heat to the plastic outer and potentially
melt the plastic.
