Rinnai V75i User Manual

16 Value Series Manual
Installaon of Plumbing
A manual water control valve must be placed in the
water inlet connecon to the water heater before it is
connected to the water line. Unions may be used on
both the hot and cold water lines for future servicing
and disconnecon of the unit.
DO NOT
 Do not introduce toxic chemicals such as those
used for boiler water treatment to the potable
water used for space heang.
MUST DO
 The piping (including soldering materials) and
components connected to this appliance must be
approved for use in potable water systems.
 Purge the water line to remove all debris and air.
Debris will damage the water heater.
 If the appliance will be used as a potable water
source, it must not be connected to a system that
was previously used with a nonpotable water
heang appliance.
 Ensure that the water lter on the water heater is
clean and installed.
Piping Requirements
Pressure Relief Valve Requirements
Install the pressure relief valve according to local
plumbing codes and these instrucons.
An approved pressure relief valve is required by the
American Naonal Standard (ANSI Z21.10.3) for all
water heang systems, and shall be accessible for
servicing.
DO NOT
 Do not plug the relief valve and do not install any
reducing ngs or other restricons in the relief
line. The relief line should allow for complete
drainage of the valve and the line.
 Do not place any other type valve or shut o
device between the relief valve and the water
heater.
MUST DO
 The relief valve must comply with the standard for
Relief Valves and Automac Gas Shuto Devices for
Hot Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21.22 and /or the
standard Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and
Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves,
CAN1-4.4.
 The relief valve must be rated up to 150 psi and to
at least the maximum BTU/hr of the appliance.
 The discharge from the pressure relief valve should
be piped to the ground or into a drain system to
prevent exposure or possible burn hazards to
humans or other plant or animal life. Follow local
codes. Water discharged from the relief valve
could cause severe burns instantly, scalds, or
death.
 The pressure relief valve must be manually
operated once a year to check for correct
operaon.
 The relief valve should be added to the hot water
outlet line and near the hot water outlet according
to the manufacturer’s instrucons. DO NOT place
any other type valve or shut o device between
the relief valve and the water heater.
INFORMATION
 If a relief valve discharges periodically, this may be
due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply
system. Contact the water supplier or local
plumbing inspector on how to correct this
situaon. Do not plug the relief valve.
 The American Naonal Standard (ANSI Z21.10.3)
does not require a combinaon temperature and
pressure relief valve for this appliance. However,
local codes may require a combinaon
temperature and pressure relief valve.
Isolaon Valves
Rinnai strongly recommends the installaon of
isolaon valves on the cold and hot water lines
because they provide the ability to isolate the water
heater from the structure’s plumbing and allow quick
access to ush the heat exchanger. Flushing the heat
exchanger regularly is required as part of the proper
maintenance for this water heater.
