About the Rheem 16L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Water Heater

The Rheem 16L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Water Heater is part of Rheem’s compact gas continuous flow range. It heats water only when hot water is needed, rather than storing a full tank of heated water.

This makes it a practical option for homes where space matters and where the existing setup is suitable for an external natural gas continuous flow unit.

The 16L model is designed for around 1 to 1.5 bathrooms depending on climate, water pressure, pipe sizing, outlet demand and household usage. It is best suited to smaller to medium homes where the hot water demand suits a 16 L/min flow rate.

This is the natural gas version. Natural gas and LPG models are not interchangeable, so the correct gas type must be selected before ordering or installation.

Compact Continuous Flow Design

The Rheem 16L Natural Gas continuous flow water heater is designed to save space compared with a traditional gas storage hot water system.

Because it heats water on demand, it does not require a large storage cylinder. The compact body can be mounted externally on a suitable wall, making it useful for homes with limited outdoor space, narrow side access, townhouses, units and smaller replacement locations.

50°C Temperature-Limited Output

This model is the 50°C factory temperature-limited version.

A 50°C model can be a practical option for domestic hot water installations where safer outlet temperature control is important.

Some applications may still require additional tempering or installation controls depending on the property, plumbing layout, fixtures and compliance requirements.

Natural Gas Hot Water

This product is the natural gas version of the Rheem 16L continuous flow water heater.

It is intended for homes connected to natural gas. It is not the same as the LPG version, and the two gas types cannot be swapped without selecting the correct product and completing suitable licensed gas work.

Customers should confirm their gas type before ordering.

Rheem Q Factor™ and Flamesafe® Protection

The Rheem 16L Natural Gas includes Rheem Q Factor™ technology, designed to help deliver steadier hot water temperature and reduce fluctuations that can occur with some continuous flow systems when demand changes.

It also includes Flamesafe® overheat protection, designed to shut down the water heater before overheating can occur.

Common Uses

The Rheem 16L Natural Gas 50°C Continuous Flow Hot Water System can be suitable for:

• natural gas hot water replacement

• external continuous flow hot water applications

• homes connected to natural gas

• apartments and townhouses

• granny flats

• smaller homes

• rental properties

• compact wall-mounted replacement locations

• homes with around 1 to 1.5 bathrooms depending on demand

Tempering Valve and Element Information

*Element size information:
All electric hot water units are supplied as standard with a 3.6kW element unless otherwise stated on the product page, invoice, or order confirmation.

If a different element configuration is requested, such as 1.8kW or 2.4kW, the hot water unit may still arrive with the standard 3.6kW element fitted from the manufacturer. The requested 1.8kW or 2.4kW element will be supplied separately with the order for installation by a suitably licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder.

Any element changeover, electrical connection, disconnection, wiring, testing, or modification must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder. Elements must not be changed, connected, modified, or tested by an unlicensed person.

Alternative elements supplied for non-standard configurations may be generic replacement elements and may not be the same brand as the hot water unit unless specifically stated. Generic elements are supplied to suit the requested element size and electrical configuration, but final suitability must be checked by the licensed installer before installation.

1.8kW and 2.4kW elements supplied separately with a hot water unit include a 12-month supply-only parts warranty from the date of purchase, provided the element has been correctly installed by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder and used under normal operating conditions.

This element warranty covers the replacement supply of the element only. It does not include labour, call-out fees, electrical work, plumbing work, fault finding, removal, reinstallation, testing, travel, downtime, damage caused by incorrect installation, or any other associated costs. Warranty may be declined where the element has been incorrectly installed, dry-fired, modified, damaged, connected to incorrect voltage or wiring, affected by power issues, used in unsuitable water conditions, or installed by an unlicensed person.

Proof of purchase, installer details, electrical licence details, photos, and/or return of the faulty element may be required before a warranty claim is approved.

**Tempering valve information:
Where a hot water system is capable of delivering water above 50°C, a compliant tempering valve must be installed to control the temperature delivered to personal hygiene fixtures such as showers, baths, basins, and bathroom outlets. This helps reduce the risk of scalding and assists with meeting plumbing compliance requirements.

A tempering valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a safer controlled outlet temperature to required fixtures. The hot water unit itself may store water at a higher temperature, but the water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be controlled where required by plumbing regulations.

If your property already has a suitable, compliant tempering valve installed, your licensed plumber can assess whether it is appropriate for use with the new hot water system. Existing valves may not always be suitable due to age, condition, compliance requirements, valve type, location, or system compatibility.

If a compliant tempering valve is not already installed, or if the existing valve is unsuitable, one must be supplied and installed by a licensed plumber as part of the hot water installation.

Tempering valves are not automatically included with every supply-only hot water unit unless specifically selected, listed as included, or purchased as part of a suitable valve kit. If a tempering valve is required, please purchase the appropriate valve kit with your order or arrange for your licensed installer to supply and install the correct tempering valve on site.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation is completed by appropriately licensed trades and that all required valves, fittings, electrical work, plumbing work, and compliance requirements are allowed for as part of the installation.
