the LS Series  
Introducing Rinnai’s most innovative offering  
Contemporary design  
xperience a never-ending supply of fresh hot water – and a sleek, sculpted  
water heater design that reflects the innovative technology within. Introducing  
E
the Rinnai LS Series, a whole new line of tankless water heaters that afford you  
R63LSe  
the very best of both form and function. With their attractive silver finish, Rinnai  
LS Series units are available in interior and exterior models, giving you virtually  
unlimited flexibility to install your unit wherever you choose.  
R50LSi  
perfect for Any Home  
The remarkable combination of design and performance makes the LS Series the perfect  
choice. Whether you’re building a spacious new home – complete with luxurious spa bath  
and body spray system – or remodeling your older home, Rinnai LS units can be used  
individually, in pairs, or in banks of three or more to supply all your hot water needs.  
key Features of the LS Series  
• Sleek, modern design  
• Commercial-grade heat exchanger  
for residential and commercial  
applications  
LS Series interior-mount units can be placed in any room – no need to hide them in  
closets or utility rooms – and vent directly to the outside. Exterior units require no  
additional venting and can even be installed in a recessed enclosure, then painted or  
textured to match the exterior of your home for a clean, inconspicuous appearance.  
• Increased hot water output  
• EZConnect(connects two  
units together)*  
Improved performance and Longevity  
• Integrated condensate collector  
for interior models  
• Backed by a 12-year heat exchanger  
limited warranty, 5 years parts,  
1 year labor  
Whichever LS unit you choose, you get the  
benefit of a newly designed, commercial-grade  
heat exchanger for optimum durability. In  
fact, the same LS unit can be used for both  
residential and commercial applications.  
Homeowners get the reliability of commercial-  
grade construction and an industry-leading,  
12-year limited warranty, and commercial  
customers get lower cost and wider availability  
of units.  
* EZConnect feature is not available for the R63LSe.

commercial  
commercial applications  
Commercial Quality at Your Fingertips  
oth commercial and residential customers benefit from the  
innovative new heat exchanger design of the LS Series. To achieve  
this level of performance, Rinnai engineers used finite element  
B
analysis simulation to maximize thermal transfer and minimize thermal  
stresses. Rigorous high-temperature reliability testing confirmed the design.  
And now Rinnai delivers to you the most reliable, durable tankless water  
heater in our history.  
Commercial Applications  
• Restaurants  
This dual-use heat exchanger provides commercial customers a benefit  
unique to Rinnai: the ability to access a commercial-grade water heater at  
any of our over 2,000 distribution outlets. So, when emergencies occur and  
replacement units are needed immediately, you’ll no longer need to wait  
for a commercial unit.  
• Car Washes, Laundromats  
• Schools, Colleges and Universities  
• Public Facilities and Event Venues  
• Hotels and Motels  
• Nursing Homes  
• Salons and Spas  
Additional Commercial Features and Benefits:  
• Industrial Facilities  
• Variety of digital controllers allows precise control and monitoring.  
• Available wireless controller (MC-502RC-1M/S) provides control  
from a central location, even on retrofits.  
• Multi-unit options: the EZConnect* cable (for 2 units) or MSA  
control boards (for 3 or more units**) allow units to be used in  
combination and in rotation, to avoid wearing out the first unit in a  
manifolded series.  
• Exterior units can be mounted on outside walls or on rooftops with  
no additional protection or venting.  
• Rinnai’s concentric venting system means zero clearance, sealed  
combustion, and single wall or roof penetration for maximum safety  
and installation simplicity.  
* EZConnect feature is not available for the R63LSe.  
** For each group of five units one MSA-M and three MSA-S control boards are required.

endless options  
flexibility + control  
Accessories  
Rinnai’s line of digital controllers allows you to set water temperature  
precisely for multiple locations in your home, analyze and troubleshoot  
the water heater, and even automatically fill your bath to a pre-set  
temperature and volume. An available wireless controller is perfect for  
retrofits where pulling a wire through the wall is impractical. (Note: the  
MC-91-1-S Standard  
Digital Controller  
MC-91 controller comes standard with all LS units.)  
Flexible Installation  
Choosing a mounting location depends on your taste, your home or  
building, and your location. Install your Rinnai tankless water heater  
inside, outside, in a garage or laundry room or virtually anywhere else.  
For interior installation, Rinnai units use a concentric venting system –  
a single vent assembly featuring an inner, metal vent for exhaust gases  
and an outer PVC or metal tube for bringing combustion air from  
outdoors. The result: a direct-vent, sealed-combustion system that offers  
optimum safety, performance and ease of installation.  
MC-502RC  
Wireless Controller  
Other benefits include:  
• Integrated Condensate  
Collector: ensures  
condensation doesn’t drain  
back into unit, and reduces  
cost of venting.  
• High-Altitude Operation:  
all LS units can be adjusted  
for use up to 10,000 ft.  
Exterior units can be installed in a recessed enclosure, flush with the  
outer wall, then painted or textured to match your home’s panel or  
brick siding.  
MC-100V-1-S Deluxe  
Digital Controller  
And if you need more than one unit for your larger home, spa or body  
spray shower, Rinnai’s EZConnectfeature allows you to link two units  
with a simple cord. For even larger applications, your installer can place  
multiple units in parallel.
