Rinnai Mains Pressure Indoor SS Single Thermosiphon Wetback Coil

A thermosiphon coils allows you to have a mains pressure cylinder connected to a wetback fire

Wetback is something that you mostly associate with an old house with a low pressure copper cylinder connected to an old wood burner. With a Rinnai thermosiphon cylinder you can now have a new modern house with mains pressure water heated by your wetback fire, saving you money on your power bill.

Thermosiphon coil for wetback

Water is circulated through a coil inside the cylinder by a thermosiphon effect, i.e. warmer water rises and cooler water falls, creating a natural flow. This means there is no need for a pump to circulate water, you can still heat your water even if there's a power cut.

Eco inlet

Added benefit of an eco inlet that allows connection to an open loop* (potable) solar system, or a hot water heat pump.

* For open loop solar systems the potable water (suitable for drinking and food preparation) from the cylinder flows through the collector - water that flows through the system is used directly by the household.

Product Details

Suitable for:

• indoor installations only
• mains and low pressure systems
• connection to a wetback fire and/or an open loop solar system or hot water heat pump
• residential and light commercial water heating applications

Not suitable as a pool or spa heater, or for underfloor heating.

Water quality

• Rinnai cylinders are manufactured to suit most NZ council water supplies. However some supplies can have a detrimental effect on the cylinder, its operation and life expectancy. Stainless steel cylinders are not suitable for bore or tank water.

Single thermosiphon coil lower element

• For new builds and renovations connecting to a wetback fire, where the homeowner will have full electric boost when there is not enough heat from the wetback fire. System can also be connected to an open loop solar or hot water heat pump.

Single thermosiphon coil dual element

• For new builds and renovations connecting to a wetback fire, where the homeowner wants faster recovery times, and to reduce the risk of running out of hot water. Cylinder will have higher running costs. System can also be connected via the eco inlet to an open loop solar system or hot water heat pump.

Single thermosiphon coil upper element

• For new builds and renovations connecting to a wetback fire, where the homeowner relies heavily on heat from the wetback and/or open loop solar system or hot water heat pump. Upper element is only used to quickly heat water in the top of the cylinder.
