The purpose of this section is to provide more information about Rinnai’s requirement
that the vent system installed with the Rinnai boiler must be appropriately supported.

to allow the boiler to be free from any strain or weight associated with the installed
ttingsand/orventpipesystem.
Installation of the venting system MUST comply with the respective vent manufacturer’s
instructions. Additionally, to ensure structural integrity, the installer MUST select
hangers, supports, and restraints which are able to withstand all static and dynamic
loading conditions which act upon the vent piping system and the associated Rinnai
boiler. Hangers, supports, and restraints shall be 100% corrosion proof, UV resistant,
and impact resistant.
Exhaust vent pipe MUST be securely fastened to the structure to avoid movement.
ThersthangersupportMUSTbelocateddirectlyaftertherstelbowontherst
horizontal vent section or as close thereto as possible to ensure no movement. (see
example below). Use hangers that will not score or damage vent pipes and are
accepted by local codes.
