Staging Systems

Staging systems are designed so that only the required number of heaters
start to match the desired hot water flow rate.

A Manifolded Electronic Control System (MECS) is available for 2 to 5 heater manifold systems and uses the water flow valve inside the heater to control its operation. The firing sequence is rotated every tenth shutdown. A single water controller can control the entire manifold outlet temperature.

Staging can also be achieved by using the Rinnai Pressure Activated Manifold (PAM) valve. PAM valves are available for 2 to 6 heater manifold systems.

Note: Rinnai Manifold Packs are not compatible with Smartstart® Water Saver or Deluxe Water Controllers.

How are they supplied?

The HD units are mounted fully assembled to our pre-engineered frames with foam insulated pipe work, ready to plumb into position at your project.

The Manifold pack is supplied in modular systems of Manifolds of 2 and Manifolds of 3 units. They are packaged in a separate cartons for ease of freight and positioning on site. The Manifold Pack 4, 5 and 6 will be supplied in combinations of MP2 and MP3 as required.

For Example: A Manifold Pack 4 will be supplied as 2 x Modular 2 pack systems with a couplings kit to join the manifolds together when installed.
