Rinnai 13 Dry-Soft® RD-400AU / RD-600AU Installation Manual
INSTALLATION
POSITIONING OF THE APPLIANCE
GAS CONNECTION AND SUPPLY
The position of the gas connection is shown in “Appliance Dimensions RD-400AU / RD-600AU” on
page 12. The appliance is supplied with a 300mm braided flexible gas hose with a ½" female flared
fitting for connection to the consumer piping. For gas supply pressures refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
on page 12.
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with:
• Manufacturers’ Installation Instructions
• Local gas fitting regulations
• Municipal building codes
• AS 5601 Gas Installations and AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules
• Any other relevant Statutory Regulations
This appliance must be installed, serviced and removed by an Authorised Person.
The main considerations when positioning the dryer are:
• Ensuring all minimum clearance requirements as shown are met.
• The location / termination of the exhaust duct system and terminal (To comply with AS 5601).
• Allowing sufficient access for ease of operation, servicing and removal of the appliance.
• Ensuring there is access to the exhaust duct connection, gas connection and air inlet filter to the
appliance in the installed position.
• Ensuring there is enough ‘flex’ in the flexible gas hose when the appliance is in the installed
position to allow for vibration which may occur during operation.
• Ensuring a 20mm(¤) minimum clearance between the exhaust duct and any combustible materials.
• Ensuring that a 100mm(*) gap is provided for the opening swing of the dryer door. The dryer door
can be hinged from the left or right hand sides and therefore a gap must be provided appropriately.
• The access door of an enclosed installation(#) must be vented with a minimum open area of
250cm² (See item on page 17). A Rinnai ‘VENT’ is suitable for this purpose.
Chemicals or flammable materials must not be stored near the
appliance or the exhaust duct. This applies especially if the dryer is
positioned onto shelves or inside a cupboard.
The connection between the gas supply consumer piping and the flexible 300mm gas
hose flared connection must be accessible for disconnection and reconnection when
the appliance is in the final installed position.
There must be enough 'flex' in the flexible gas hose when the dryer is installed to
allow for any vibration of the dryer that may occur during operation.
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas
appliances in the premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for the
total gas rate. Suitable sizing chart such as the one in AS 5601 should be used.
All foreign materials such as swarf must be purged from the gas supply, as they may
cause the gas control valve to malfunction.
