Answer a few quick questions and we will tell you whether you can continue ordering online now or need the 60sec Check first.

Are you replacing an existing hot water system?
This helps us work out whether this looks like a standard replacement or may need extra parts.
Are you replacing the same hot water system, identical make and model?
If yes, the valve kit will be recommended. If not, it will be required at the end.
Is it going in an existing location?
Existing location means the new system is going back into the same general installed position.
Where is the system located?
If it is outside, continue. If it is inside or under a house, the 60sec Check must be completed first.
Are you changing system type, electrical connection type or needing to extend your electrical connection?
If yes, we will advise at the end that an electrical extension or new circuit may be needed, or you can organise your own electrician.
Do any site access issues apply?
If any access issue applies, direct them to the 60sec Check first. If none apply, continue with the form.
Does your current installation meet current compliance requirements?
If no or unsure, we will recommend a valve kit or additional works as the safer starting point.

      Choose the unit only if you already have a licensed plumber or electrician arranged, or check your supply and install package to confirm standard installation, valve kit requirements, electrical suitability, site access, under-bench suitability, water pressure requirements and available installation timeframes before checkout.

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L electric storage water heater is an ultra-compact hot water system designed for tight spaces, small homes, under-bench areas, cupboards, kitchenettes, laundries, offices and low-demand point-of-use applications. With 50L rated capacity, vitreous enamel lined steel tank, inbuilt anode protection, single element configuration, dual handed connections, internal or external installation suitability, and a 7-year cylinder warranty, it is a practical choice for replacing a small electric hot water unit.

      About the Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Water Heater

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Hot Water System is designed for compact spaces where a full-size electric storage hot water system is not required.

      Rinnai positions the Hotflo 50L as a compact and reliable electric storage option for small houses, under-bench installations and cupboard installations where space is limited. It can suit low-demand applications where hot water is needed for a small number of fixtures rather than a full family household.

      The system uses a vitreous enamel lined steel tank for durability, along with enhanced sacrificial anode protection to help extend tank life. It is thermostatically controlled, includes automatic safety temperature shut-off, and is available with or without plug depending on the selected model.

      Is the Rinnai Hotflo 50L Right for Your Property?

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Hot Water System may be suitable if you are replacing a small electric storage water heater and want a compact unit from a recognised hot water brand.

      It is commonly suited to small houses, units, apartments, offices, kitchenettes, under-bench areas, cupboards, laundries and low-demand point-of-use hot water applications.

      The 50L size is not designed to perform like a full-size family hot water system. It is best suited to limited hot water demand, compact installation spaces and applications where a larger tank would be unnecessary or difficult to fit.

      This system may suit you if:

      • You are replacing an existing small electric storage hot water system

      • You want a 50L electric hot water unit

      • You need hot water for a small home, kitchen, laundry, office or amenity area

      • Your property has suitable access and installation space

      • Your plumbing and electrical setup are suitable for the selected installation option

      • You want the choice of supply only or supply and install

      Extra work may be required if:

      • The system is being moved to a new location

      • Existing valves are old, missing or non-compliant

      • Extra pipework or drainage changes are needed

      • Electrical upgrades or power point changes are required

      • Access is restricted

      • Under-bench or cupboard space is too limited

      • A compliant base, tray, drainage or insulation is required

      • The old system needs additional removal or disposal work

      • The selected plug or no-plug model does not match the existing setup

      • The existing water pressure requires valve or pressure control changes

      Ultra Compact Electric Storage

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L is designed for compact installation spaces where a larger hot water tank may not fit.

      Its small tank size and 415mm diameter make it a practical option for under-bench areas, cupboards, laundries, offices, kitchenettes and small service areas. It is especially useful where the job requires a compact replacement rather than a large household storage system.

      Under-Bench and Cupboard Applications

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Water Heater is well suited to under-bench and cupboard installations where space is limited.

      These installations still need to be checked properly. The location must allow suitable access, ventilation, safe plumbing connection, valve placement, electrical connection, drainage where required, future servicing access and compliance with installation requirements.

      Vitreous Enamel Lined Tank

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L uses a vitreous enamel lined steel tank designed to support long-term durability.

      Vitreous enamel lining helps protect the steel tank surface from stored hot water conditions. The system also includes inbuilt anode protection, which helps protect the cylinder as part of the tank’s corrosion protection design.

      Correct installation, water pressure control, water quality, valve setup and servicing conditions can all affect hot water system lifespan and warranty outcomes.

      Inbuilt Anode Protection

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Water Heater includes an inbuilt sacrificial anode to help extend the life of the hot water tank.

      Anodes are designed to gradually wear over time as part of protecting the cylinder. This makes maintenance and water quality checks important for long-term performance.

      Available With or Without Plug

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L is available with or without plug depending on the selected model.

      This gives flexibility for different replacement jobs, but the correct model must match the site. Some installations may require a licensed electrician, a suitable circuit, a compliant power outlet or a hardwired electrical connection depending on the selected variant and existing setup.

      Single Element Configuration

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L uses a single element configuration.

      Single element compact electric water heaters are commonly used for low-demand applications where the system is serving a small number of outlets. The correct element size should match the selected model, electrical setup and site requirements.

      Internal or External Installation

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Hot Water System is suitable for internal or external installation where the location is compliant and suitable.

      This gives flexibility for homes, units and small commercial spaces replacing an existing compact electric storage system. Installation location still needs suitable access, drainage, base support, valve setup, electrical connection and compliance with plumbing and electrical requirements.

      Dual Handed Connections

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L includes dual handed connections to allow more flexibility during installation.

      This can make replacement easier because the water connections can better suit different existing plumbing layouts. Dual handed connection options are useful in compact replacement jobs where space and pipework position can be more limited.

      Thermostatic Safety Control

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L is thermostatically controlled and includes automatic safety temperature shut-off.

      This helps control stored water temperature and provides added protection as part of the system’s safety design.

      50L Electric Storage Capacity

      The 50L rated capacity makes this model a compact option for low-demand hot water use.

      It can suit selected small homes, kitchens, laundries, offices and amenities, but it is not intended to replace a full-size family hot water system. For higher household demand, a larger electric storage system such as 125L, 160L, 250L, 315L or 400L may be more suitable.

      Common Uses

      The Rinnai Hotflo 50L Electric Hot Water System can be suitable for:

      • Small houses

      • Units and apartments with low hot water demand

      • Office kitchenettes

      • Canteens

      • Laundries

      • Small amenities

      • Under-bench installations

      • Cupboard installations

      • Compact replacement locations

      • Point-of-use hot water

      • Internal or external compact hot water installations

      • Homes needing more capacity than a very small point-of-use heater

      • Supply-only orders where a licensed installer is already arranged

      • Supply and install orders in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast areas

      Suitability depends on household size, fixture demand, shower length, hot water usage, tariff setup, installation location, plumbing condition, electrical supply, water pressure and compliance requirements.
