INTRODUCTION:
The optimum in hydronic technology: the updated

unique solution for a wide variety of small and medium
sized residential and light commercial applications.
They are compact and ready to fit in tight spaces
which may include, but not limited to, attics,
basements, closets, crawlspaces, and utility rooms.
The 37AHB units are equipped with an intelligent
microprocessor control that allows for domestic hot
water priority and adapts to available hot water flow for
space heating by automatically regulating the pump
and blower sequence to maximize comfort.
These unique Hydronic Furnaces are designed to
work in combination with our line of Rinnai® tankless
products to deliver a wide variety of heating capacities
that cover the entire residential and light commercial
heating spectrum.
Because our units are designed specifically to the
Rinnai® tankless products, our stated capacities are
fine tuned and are based on the “Hydronic Furnace /
Tankless Water Heater” match set and NOT a given
water flow rate.
