Rinnai M160SN
The Rinnai M160SN is a discontinued Canadian M-Series heating-only solo boiler — a compact wall-mounted condensing natural-gas unit documented from the specs printed on its orphaned rinnai.ca page.

Input is gas energy consumed; output is heat delivered. Never size from input alone.
Rinnai M160SN in practice
The M160SN belongs to the M-Series, Rinnai Canada's condensing boiler family that preceded the current IP-coded I-Series+ line: a heating-only solo whose page copy describes a compact, wall-mounted natural-gas boiler 'designed for easy installation as a retro-fit to traditional less efficient boilers' that 'can deliver whole house heating'. The rinnai.ca product-detail page still returns HTTP 200 and continues to list the M-Series I&O manual, conversion manuals and an AHRI certificate, but the page is orphaned — not in the site navigation, no models on the category grid — and rinnai.ca's discontinued-product notice applies.
Specs on this Boilers.ca record are printed on the M160SN page's own Specifications and Supply Connections tables on 2026-09-09: 70 lb / (32 kg) product weight, 31.8 / 17.3 / 10.46 in (808/440/266 mm) H×W×D and a 3/4" MNPT gas connection, printed Residential ENERGY STAR 'Yes' and SCAQMD 'Ultra Low NOx' rows, and a Natural Gas Gas Type row (propane is a field conversion covered by the listed conversion manual).
Page-print quirk kept and flagged: the solo page's maximum-input hero bullet prints 'N (maximum)' — a truncated value on every legacy M-Series solo page — and its Domestic Hot Water Flow Rate row prints N/A, so no numeric maximum input or DHW flow is recorded. No AFUE percentage is printed on the orphan pages, so none is recorded here.
Best suited to
- Owners and service technicians identifying an installed M160SN against the code on its rating plate
- Service planning for an M-Series boiler whose manuals still live on the orphaned rinnai.ca page

Specifications
Published specifications
Values as published by Rinnai. Units are shown with every value; notes flag conflicting sources or missing figures.
| Specification | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Input | ||
| Central heating capacity (as printed) | 160 MBH | Specifications row printed 'Central Heating Capacity | 160,000 BTU / (46.9 kW)' — the printed kW conversion matches an input figure, so Boilers.ca records the row as printed under input; no AFUE percentage is printed on the page. |
| Minimum input (hero bullet, NG) | 23.5 MBH | 23,500 BTU (minimum), as printed on the page's 'NG:' hero bullet list. |
| Maximum input (hero bullet, as printed) | N (maximum) — page print bug | Every legacy M-Series solo page prints its maximum-input hero bullet as 'N (maximum)' — a truncated value on the page; the solo page's Domestic Hot Water Flow Rate row prints N/A. No numeric maximum is printed anywhere on the solo page. |
| Domestic hot water | ||
| Domestic hot water flow rate (maximum) | N/A | Row printed as printed on the M-Series solo page (heating-only unit with no internal DHW). |
| Physical and connections | ||
| Product weight | 70 lb | 70 lb / (32 kg), as printed on the Specifications table. |
| Product height | 31.8 in (808 mm) | As printed on the rinnai.ca Specifications table. |
| Product width | 17.3 in (440 mm) | As printed on the rinnai.ca Specifications table. |
| Product depth | 10.46 in (266 mm) | As printed on the rinnai.ca Specifications table. |
| Gas connection | 3/4" MNPT (19 mm) | Row printed 'Gas | 3/4" MNPT / (19 mm)' in the page's Supply Connections table. |
| Operating limits and other | ||
| Residential ENERGY STAR | Yes | Row printed 'Residential ENERGY STAR® | Yes' on the rinnai.ca Specifications table. |
| SCAQMD approval | Ultra Low NOx | Row printed 'SCAQMD Approved | Ultra Low NOx' on the rinnai.ca Specifications table. |
| Gas type (as printed) | Natural Gas | The Gas Type row prints Natural Gas on every page, while the page copy says the boiler is 'Fueled with either Natural Gas or Propane' — propane is a field conversion, and the page lists the conversion manual. |

Frequently asked questions
Is the Rinnai M160SN still sold in Canada?
No. The M-Series is the earlier Rinnai Canada condensing generation, and its rinnai.ca pages are orphaned and unlinked; the rinnai.ca discontinued-product notice applies and the current Canadian line is the IP-coded I-Series+.
Why does the M160SN maximum input show 'N (maximum)'?
The solo page's maximum-input hero bullet prints 'N (maximum)', a truncated value common to every legacy M-Series solo page, and the unit is heating-only (its DHW flow row prints N/A).
Where does an M-Series owner find the manuals for this model?
The orphaned rinnai.ca product-detail page for the code (for example /residential/product-detail/m160cn) still serves the M-Series I&O manual, conversion manuals, spec sheets and an AHRI certificate.
