A sheet of non-combustible material, min 12mm, thick MUST be placed between the flue and cladding when installing this Weather Proof Box on buildings clad with weatherboard or other combustible materials. Non-combustible material is NOT supplied with this kit.
The method of ensuring that the weather seal between the Weatherproof Box and the wall cladding is watertight is the responsibility of the installer. Refer to the current version of AS/NZS 5601. Rinnai is unable to advise as to how this is achieved.
- Locate the assembled Weatherproof Box to ensure a gap of 5-10mm between the bottom edge of the rear support bracket, ⑧ and bottom panel, ①.This gap is to ensure drainage in the event of accidental water leakage and to allow air movement at the base.
- Attach the Weatherproof box assembly to the wall using appropriate fasteners and sealant for the type of cladding used. (Sealant material not supplied).
It is the installers responsibility to ensure that the box is
appropriately attached and weather sealed to the exterior wall in accordance
with all Local Regulations and Municipal Building Codes including local OH&S
requirements.
The screws for mounting the flue terminal components are supplied with
the flue.
The flue terminal clearances are to be in accordance with Current AS/NZS 5601.
