HEATING
RINNAI HOT WATER – RELIABLY INSTANT,
ENERGY EFFICIENT AND LOWER FUEL COSTS
FOR UK HOMEOWNERS
Meanwhile, where an external installation is required, the
Rinnai 17e external multipoint water heater offers greater
flexibility at the design stage and offers a viable solution
where flue runs are problematic or internal space is not
available. Capable of flow rates of up to 510 litres per hour at
a 50°C rise, the 17e is suitable for multiple applications and
can be specified for use with Natural Gas or propane.
The 17e has full frost protection and is available with a range
of external ancillary items, including pipe cover box – and
security cage where necessary.
Rinnai’s range of ErP A-rated continuous flow gas-fired hot
water heaters now includes models specifically aimed and
designed for the UK domestic market. The units guarantee
high efficiencies and low running costs combined with
consistent water temperatures seven days a week.
Rinnai’s range of continuous flow water heating units are
being specified and installed in the whole range of domestic
properties – studios, flats, houses, high-end residential
houses - as installers and end users become aware of the
ease of installation, and the energy & cost saving benefits.
For smaller properties, the Infinity 11i interior unit differs from
the 17i as it weighs 2kg less at 16kg and consumes 6.10kW-
21.60kW of Natural Gas and has an 11-litre maximum flow.
Key features of the 24kW Rinnai 11i are: Compact &
lightweight unit for easy installation; Robust, durable heat
exchanger; User friendly digital controls; In-built frost
protection; Ideal replacement for large obtrusive and bulky
cylinder; Compact design to fit a limited space.

Rinnai manufactures over 2million water heaters every
year and as such is at the forefront of creating unit cost
advantages for installers. Competitively priced, the units
offer all technological advances and innovations, all at a
similar cost to lower specification competitor models.
The reason for the increase in popularity is that continuous
flow heating systems are proven to be more energy efficient
than conventional ones and are now the preferred method
of hot water provision. Rinnai units meet the demands of
any size of home and are ideal where high volumes are
demanded at intermittent times of the day, delivering safe
temperature useable hot water.
Rinnai's multipoint 17i water heater, for example, eliminates
the problem of sudden changes in water temperature,
resulting in cold showers or scalding hot baths – the water
temperature you set is the water temperature you get.
So, if somebody is happily showering at 42°C and a tap is
turned on to draw a bath elsewhere in the property, the
temperature does not vary, and there is no chance of either
user running out of hot water.
The Rinnai 16i interior model measures just 675 x 370 x
139mm and weighs in at 18kg - a one-man lift. The roomsealed
unit has a temperature range of 35°C to 60°C with
direct electronic ignition. Gas consumption ranges between
4.7kW-6.5kW for Natural Gas and 4.9kW-36.8kW when using
propane. Hot water delivery flow is an impressive 16ltr max
flow. Nominal operation pressure is 1-7 bar and it uses a 230V
AC 50Hz 1ph power supply with an electrical consumption
of 68W.
