Connecting Multiple Water Heaters

R98LSe, R98LSe-ASME, R94LSe, R75LSe

The EZConnect™ cable is an optional accessory that connects 2 water heaters and allows them to function as one hot water source. (The EZConnect™ cannot be used on the R63LSe.)

The MSA packs are optional accessories that connect 2 to 5 water heaters and allow them to function as one hot water source.

Refer to the instructions that come with the accessory for complete installation information.

Guidelines

•Do not install both the EZConnect™ and the MSA packs because they are not designed to operate together.

•Water heaters connected with the EZConnect™ Cable or the MSA packs cannot be used for the Bath Fill function.

•Water heaters should be installed less than 18 inches apart so that the cables will reach between units and to prevent temperature fluctuations (cold water sandwich effect) when the water is shut off and turned back on.

•When using EZConnect™ Cable or the MSA packs, temperature settings can only be changed on the controller for the primary unit.

R63LSe

Rinnai pressure activation valves (PVA’s) can be used to manifold 2 to 5 Rinnai water heaters in order to produce a stable water temperature and allow the water heaters to run efficiently. Water heaters will turn on as necessary to meet the demand for hot water.

When using PVA valves, water heaters should be at the same temperature setting.

The EZConnect™, MSA-2MB, and MSA-2S cannot be used on this model.

Refer to the instructions that come with the accessory for complete installation information.
