PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What Is the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26?
The Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 is a gas continuous flow hot water system designed to heat water when a hot water outlet is opened.
Instead of keeping a cylinder of water heated throughout the day, the system activates its gas burner when suitable water flow is detected.
Water passes through the heat exchanger, where it is heated before being delivered through the property's hot water pipework.
The unit belongs to the 26L/min continuous flow class, making it a potential option for households with moderate to higher hot water demand.
Actual hot water flow depends on the temperature rise required, available gas input, incoming water temperature, water pressure and connected fixtures.
The Infinity Touch 26 also places emphasis on temperature control, allowing households to consider a more convenient control arrangement than a basic continuous flow installation.
The exact controller features, included accessories and installation configuration should be confirmed for the selected Rinnai package.
Why Choose the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26?
On-Demand Hot Water
Heats water when required rather than relying on a conventional storage tank.
26L/min Flow Class
Designed for households requiring more hot water delivery capacity than smaller continuous flow units.
Advanced Temperature Control
Offers temperature control functionality for households wanting a more convenient hot water experience.
Compact System Format
A wall-mounted continuous flow format can free up space previously occupied by a storage cylinder.
No Stored Hot Water Reserve
Does not rely on a finite tank of stored hot water, provided gas, water and required electrical power remain available.
Replacement Potential
May replace an existing gas continuous flow system or selected gas storage installations where services and location are suitable.
PRODUCT SUITABILITY
Is the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Right for Your Home?
One-Bathroom Homes
May be suitable for households wanting a capable continuous flow system with additional temperature control functionality.
Two-Bathroom Homes
May suit households with moderate to higher hot water demand, depending on simultaneous shower and fixture use.
Selected Three-Bathroom Homes
May be suitable where actual simultaneous demand remains within the unit's available hot water delivery capacity.
Important sizing consideration: The number of bathrooms does not determine hot water demand by itself. The number of outlets operating simultaneously, their flow rates and the required temperature rise all matter.
JR Gas & Water assesses the property's usage before confirming whether the Infinity Touch 26 is the appropriate system.
What Does 26 Litres Per Minute Mean?
The Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 is described as a 26 litre per minute class continuous flow hot water system.
This does not mean the unit will always deliver 26 litres of hot water every minute under all operating conditions.
Continuous flow output depends on the temperature increase required between incoming cold water and the selected hot water temperature.
When incoming water is colder, the unit must provide more heat to reach the desired outlet temperature. This can reduce the available flow rate at that temperature.
Brisbane and Gold Coast properties may experience seasonal changes in incoming water temperature, which can influence performance.
For homes with multiple showers, high-flow fixtures or frequent simultaneous hot water use, JR can assess whether the Infinity Touch 26 has sufficient practical delivery capacity.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
What Makes the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Different?
The Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 is positioned as a continuous flow hot water solution with advanced temperature control functionality.
Temperature controllers can provide a more convenient way to manage the hot water delivery temperature, subject to the approved controller configuration and installation.
This may appeal to households wanting a more refined hot water experience rather than relying solely on a basic external continuous flow unit.
Controller compatibility, supported functions, installation positions and the number of controllers permitted depend on the exact Rinnai product configuration.
Any required controller cabling and installation work should be assessed before installation.
Important: Temperature controllers do not remove the need for compliant temperature delivery arrangements at sanitary fixtures. Applicable plumbing requirements and manufacturer instructions must still be followed.
How Does the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Work?
Hot water demand: A household member opens a connected hot water outlet.
Water flow detection: The continuous flow unit detects suitable water flow and initiates its heating sequence.
Gas heating: The gas burner heats water as it passes through the heat exchanger.
Temperature regulation: The system regulates heating according to operating conditions and the selected temperature control arrangement.
Hot water delivery: Heated water travels through the property's pipework to the open outlet.
Heating stops: When hot water demand ends, the unit stops heating.
Because the system does not store a large volume of heated water, it avoids the standing storage heat losses associated with conventional storage cylinders.

How Much Does Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Installation Cost?
Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 supply and install pricing in Brisbane and the Gold Coast depends on the existing hot water system, gas supply capacity, plumbing layout, electrical requirements, controller setup and any additional work required.
Current installation package pricing is shown in the product selector above where available.
A straightforward like-for-like gas continuous flow replacement in a suitable location is generally simpler than converting from a gas storage system or relocating the heater.
Gas pipe upgrades, additional controller installation, cabling, power supply work, tempering requirements and pipework alterations can affect the final price.
JR Gas & Water assesses the installation requirements before confirming the appropriate supply and installation package.

GOLD COAST INSTALLATION
Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Installation Gold Coast
JR Gas & Water provides Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 installation on the Gold Coast for households wanting gas continuous flow hot water with advanced temperature control functionality.
Gold Coast installations may require consideration of gas supply, mounting location, coastal exposure, flue terminal clearances, electrical connections and controller positioning.
Homes with multiple bathrooms should also have simultaneous hot water demand assessed before selecting the system.
JR evaluates the existing services and proposed installation location before confirming whether the Infinity Touch 26 is suitable.
Can the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Replace My Existing Hot Water System?
Existing 26L Continuous Flow
A like-for-like replacement may be practical where gas supply, mounting, plumbing and electrical services remain suitable.
Older Rinnai Infinity
Replacement may be possible, although existing controller compatibility and gas requirements must be checked.
Gas Storage Replacement
Converting from gas storage may be possible but can require changes to gas pipe sizing, plumbing, power and mounting.
20L Continuous Flow Upgrade
A 26L-class unit may offer greater delivery capacity, provided the existing gas supply and other services support the replacement.
Controller Upgrade
Touch control functionality may require compatible controllers, cabling and an approved installation configuration.
Relocation
Relocation may be possible where compliant mounting, gas supply, water connections, electrical power and clearances can be provided.
Does the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Need a Gas Line Upgrade?
Not every installation requires a gas line upgrade. The answer depends on the existing gas pipework, available gas pressure and total connected gas appliance demand.
Gas continuous flow systems can have substantial instantaneous gas input requirements.
A property previously using a smaller gas hot water system or a storage heater may need its gas supply assessed before installing a 26L-class unit.
JR checks the existing gas arrangement and determines whether the pipework and supply are suitable for the selected model.
Any necessary gas alterations must be completed by appropriately licensed gas fitting personnel.
Does the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Need Electricity?
Gas continuous flow hot water systems commonly require electrical power for electronic controls, ignition and other operating components.
The exact electrical connection requirements for the Infinity Touch 26 must be confirmed against current Rinnai installation documentation.
Controller arrangements may also require compatible cabling and approved installation locations.
Where additional electrical work is necessary, it must be completed by appropriately licensed electrical personnel.
Gas continuous flow systems that rely on mains electricity will generally not operate during a power outage unless an approved alternative power arrangement is available.
How Energy Efficient Is the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26?
The Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 heats water on demand rather than maintaining a conventional storage tank of heated water.
This avoids the standing heat losses associated with keeping a storage cylinder hot between uses.
Actual gas consumption depends on hot water usage, incoming water temperature, selected outlet temperature, appliance efficiency and gas tariff.
The exact energy rating and rated gas input should be confirmed against current Rinnai manufacturer documentation.
A continuous flow system does not automatically guarantee lower energy bills for every household.
JR can help assess whether the Infinity Touch 26 is a practical replacement for the property's existing hot water system.
Will the Rinnai Infinity Touch 26 Provide Endless Hot Water?
A gas continuous flow system does not rely on a finite cylinder of stored hot water.
This means it can continue heating water while suitable demand is present and gas, water and required electrical power remain available.
However, continuous operation does not mean unlimited simultaneous flow.
If several outlets operate together and demand exceeds the unit's available heating capacity, the system may not maintain the desired delivery temperature at every outlet.
Pipework length and layout also influence how long it takes for heated water to reach a distant tap.
JR considers these factors when assessing the Infinity Touch 26 for a property.
Why Choose a Quality Continuous Flow System Instead of a Cheaper Alternative?
Choosing a gas continuous flow hot water system purely on upfront price can overlook important installation and performance considerations.
The correct gas supply, pipe sizing, water pressure, mounting position and household hot water demand all matter.
The Infinity Touch 26 may appeal to households wanting advanced temperature control in addition to conventional continuous flow operation.
However, even a quality system can perform poorly if the available services do not support its requirements.
JR Gas & Water focuses on selecting a suitable system and completing the installation correctly rather than treating every replacement as identical.
