RINNAI HOT WATER – RELIABLY INSTANT, energy EFFICIENT
and lower fuel costs FOR UK HOMEOWNERS
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.
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 room-sealed 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.
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.
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.
