Brand: Rinnai | Bundle SKU: RXP160IN-SpecialBundle
While supplies last: Receive one free Big Frog Supply BF.HG-34 Water Heater Pre-Sediment Filter Unit with this bundle. The filter adds $0 to the base heater price.
Product Overview
The RXP160iN brings Rinnai’s built-in recirculation pump to the 160,000 BTU/h size. It suits projects that need a pump-equipped condensing heater but do not call for the larger RXP199 input. Size it by temperature rise and simultaneous demand, then confirm the return-line or crossover arrangement with your installer.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Have a qualified installer configure the heater for the available gas supply, size the vent and condensate system, and confirm water and gas pressure. Outdoor use requires the separately sold Rinnai RXOVC vent cap. The included manufacturer thermal bypass valve can support a suitable crossover recirculation layout; follow Rinnai’s piping and pump instructions. Install the BF.HG-34 on the cold-water inlet only. Its limits are 30-75 PSI, 40-100°F water temperature and 9.5 GPM maximum flow. The filter must be included in system flow and pressure-drop calculations; the heater’s maximum GPM is not a guaranteed assembled-bundle flow rate. Keep hot water and thermal expansion from entering the filter. The filter does not replace water softening when required, water-quality treatment, heater flushing or manufacturer maintenance.
For the included filter assembly, see the BF.HG-34 product listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with this special bundle?
One Rinnai RXP160IN tankless water heater and one Big Frog Supply BF.HG-34 water-heater pre-sediment filter unit. The filter is included at no additional charge while supplies last.
Can this heater use natural gas or propane?
The RX/RXP platform supports natural gas or propane through the manufacturer’s professional setup procedure. A qualified installer must configure and verify the correct gas type; it is not an automatic fuel-switching feature.
Is a recirculation pump built in?
Yes. The RXP160IN has an internal recirculation pump. Confirm dedicated-return or crossover compatibility and control settings with the installer.
Does the free filter replace regular heater maintenance?
No. The BF.HG-34 filters sediment and uses polyphosphate for scale control, but it does not replace heater flushing or the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Replace its cartridge as needed for water conditions and usage, no later than one year. Its maximum flow is 9.5 GPM and maximum working pressure is 75 PSI.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
The RXP160iN combines 160,000 BTU/h input, 0.97 UEF and an integrated recirculation pump. Choose it when a properly sized 160K heater meets the hot-water load and a built-in pump fits the piping plan; the included BF.HG-34 adds cold-inlet sediment and scale control.
