Installation Location

• Not approved for mobile homes or outdoor installations (can be used in light commercial

applications where the temperature requirement do not exceed 140⁰ F).

• Installation must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connection

should leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason it is

not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such location

cannot be avoided, an approved drain pan should be used and piped to a drain line or

outside the home.

• Use an approved tank water heater drain pan. (Rinnai recommends 26” diameter pan) See

International plumbing code for details.

• Gasoline or other flammable substances MUST NOT be stored in the vicinity of the water

heater.

• A stand is not required as this water heater complies with the FVIR requirements and the

burner and igniter are positioned greater than 18 inches from the base of the unit (verify

with local codes).

• If installed in a crawl space with a dirt floor, position the unit on a solid level surface (such

as concrete) away from the ground’s moisture.

• If installed in a closet or alcove, ensure all intake (combustion) air requirements are

followed, see owner’s/installation manual.

• The RH180 meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act Standards

with respect to insulation and standby losses. If an insulation blanket is still desired, follow

the installation procedures outlined in the Operation and Installation manual.
