Rinnai 26L LPG Gas Booster Builders 60C Instant Hot Water System B26L60A B26 Energy Efficient Continuous Hot Water Flow High Capacity for Large Home

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Rinnai 26L LPG booster suitable for a large Australian home?

Yes, absolutely. The Rinnai B26L60A is designed specifically for larger households. With a 26-litre heating capacity and ability to service 1-2.5 bathrooms in cool climates or 1-3 bathrooms in warm climates, it's one of the larger units in the Rinnai range. The 6.0 star energy rating means it won't blow out your energy bills either, even with continuous hot water demand.

What's the minimum water flow rate, and will it work with modern low-flow showerheads?

The Rinnai B26 has a minimum operating flow rate of just 1.5L/min, which means it's perfectly compatible with water-saving, low-flow showerheads that meet WELS standards. This is great for Australian homes trying to reduce water consumption without sacrificing hot water comfort. It can also connect to up to 4 water controllers for added flexibility.

How long does delivery take, and what are the returns conditions?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this unit, so you won't pay extra for delivery no matter where you are in the country. If for any reason you're not happy with your purchase, Yarra Supply provides a 30-day returns window, giving you plenty of time to ensure it's the right fit for your home.

Do I need to worry about temperature fluctuations with this system?

No. The Rinnai B26L60A features PureTemp™ technology, which provides precise and stable water temperature control. This means no sudden cold or hot spikes while you're showering – the temperature stays consistent regardless of demand, which is especially useful in Australian homes with multiple bathrooms running simultaneously.

What are the warranty and lifespan expectations for this booster?

Rinnai backs the heat exchanger with a generous 15-year warranty, which is one of the longest in the industry. The unit is engineered with high-quality Japanese components designed for longevity, so you can expect reliable performance well beyond the warranty period if maintained properly.

Can this unit be installed outdoors, and what are the power requirements?

Yes, the Rinnai B26 is designed for external installation, which is ideal for Australian homes where space inside can be limited. It requires AC 240V 50Hz power (10 amp weatherproof power point), which is standard in Australian homes. The compact dimensions (531mm H × 351mm W × 195mm D) and lightweight design (15kg) make installation straightforward for qualified installers.

How does the LPG version compare to other fuel types available?

The LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) version is an excellent choice if you don't have mains gas access – common in many outer suburbs and regional Australian areas. It delivers the same 6.0 star energy efficiency as other Rinnai models, with a gas input of 199MJ/h. LPG is widely available across Australia and offers reliable, continuous hot water without the need for a gas connection or large storage tanks.
