IMPORT ANT: STA TUTE LAW DEFINES THA T A LL GAS APPLIANCES MUST BE INSTALLED BY COMPETENT
PERSONS, (i.e. CORGI REGISTERED INSTALLERS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GAS SAFETY
(INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS (CURRENT EDITION). FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
REGULA TIONS MA Y LEAD T O PROSECUTION.
2.HEA TER COMP ARTMENT AND CLEARANCES (See BS 5864)
2.1IMPORTANT: If the heater is to be fitted to an existing base duct (warm air plenum), always ensure that installation is
carried out such that the rear left hand corner of the heater is aligned with the rear left hand corner of the base duct, so
that any overhang or blanking off will be at the front and/or right hand side. In any event, blanking plates must be
mechanically secured and all joints sealed.
2. 2When the heater is fitted into a compartment consideration should be given to the space required for the removal and
replacement of the filter tray and the entry of the gas and electrical supplies.
2. 3For service access, a minimum of 500mm (20ins) is required at the front of the heater. Space must also be allowed, in a
compartment installation, to permit the removal of the heater. The clearance between the appliance and the compartment
should be not less than 75mm (3 in). However, if clearances are less than 75mm, the internal surface of the
compartment must be lined with non-combustible material. The compartment must be of a fixed rigid structure.
2. 4In airing cupboard installations, the part used as the air heater compartment must comply with the relevant section of
BS5864 and must be completely separated by either a non-combustible partition or a perforated metal partition with the
perforations not exceeding 13mm (1/2in). The secondary flue must be a tight fit where it passes through the partition and
must be suitably protected (see BS 5440:Part 1).
2. 5In under-stairs installations, the compartment must comply with the relevant section of BS 5864, provided that in
addition, all internal surfaces, including the base, are non-combustible or lined with non-combustible material. This
requirement is applicable only to dwellings of more than two storeys. Combustible floors must be insulated from the
heater.
2.6In free-standing installations, (see instructions packed with free standing kit), only one or two walls will be in contact
with the air heater and therefore complying with the relevant section of BS 5864.
2.7If the Air Heater is to be installed onto a combustible surface, a suitable base tray (BT40) is required. However, when a base
duct is used, this provides sufficient insulation, and no insulation is required.
2.8Fir Slot Fix applications (see instructions packed with the Slot Fix Kit), it is important to ensure that the draught diverter
relief is maintained on both sides of the application.
3.VENTILA TION AND COMBUSTION AIR
3.1The room or internal space in which the heater is installed requires a permanent air vent of minimum effective area
62cm2 (9in2). The air vent should be either direct to outside air or to an adjacent room or internal space (other than a
toilet or bathroom) that itself has an equivalent air vent direct to outside.
Note: The above minimum area assumes that an ELJAN 6 circulator is fitted.
3. 2Combustion air may be introduced, via a 127mm (5in) nominal bore pipe, connected to a return air duct or plenum from
a ventilated area and fitted with a lockable damper. The damper should be adjusted to control combustion airflow to
0.0108m3/s (22.9cfm), (i.e. 0.95m/s [165ft/min] velocity in a 127mm [5in] bore pipe). If this arrangement is used, a noncloseable warm air register MUST be provided in the same area as the front of the air heater or heater compartment if a return
air grille is not located in that area.
3.3When installed in a compartment, two permanent ventilation openings into the compartment are required, one at high
level and one at low level, both communicating either directly with outside air or with a ventilated room or space. The
minimum effective areas specified in Table 1 are related to the rated heat input of the Air Heater, and assuming that an
ELJAN 6 circulator is fitted.
3.4If any room or area from which air is drawn for ventilation or combustion contains an extract fan, the permanent vents
must be sized to ensure that the operation of the appliance(s) at full rate is/are not adversely affected. A spillage test as
specified in sub-para 6.8 (Safety Checks) is carried out and any remedial work undertaken.

Minimum Effective Areas
4. DUCT SYSTEM
(See British Design Manual - Gas fired W arm Air Heating)
4.1RETURN AIR
4.1.1All return air shall be POSITIVEL Y ducted from outside the compartment to the top of the unit via a return air
duct, or if appropriate, using a J & S Side Return Air Kit, and mechanically secured. It is recommended that the
return air duct be not routed directly from the main living area, but from a convenient central area serving the
remainder of the dwelling.
4.1.2 The return air system should be constructed of fire-resistant material. The flue shall not be run through an area
serving as a return air path. It is extremely important that the correct size of return air grilles and ducting is used.
For heaters on maximum output the return air duct size should not be less than the equivalent of 300mm x 250mm
(12" x 10"). If flexible duct is used the duct diameter should not be less than 350mm (14") dia. The return air
grille should have a free area of not less than 1120cm2 (174in2).
4.1.3 An adequate and unobstructed return air path is essential from areas not served by a directly ducted return and to
which warm air is delivered. All such rooms should be fitted with relief grilles which have a free area of
0.0088m2/kW (1in2/250Btu/h) of heat supplied to the room. The only exceptions are kitchens, bathrooms and
WC.’ s.
4.1.4 The return air duct should allow for ease of removal for access to the flue.
4.1.5 All duct work in the room or internal space in which the heater is installed shall be mechanically secured, and
sealed with ducting tape.
4.2WARM DELIVERED AIR
4.2.1All duct work, including riser ducts, should be fully insulated with 50mm (2in) fibreglass or similar . If short extended
duct runs are taken below floor level these should be similarly insulated, and in addition wrapped with a sound
vapour proof barrier, and protected from crushing.
4.2.2The duct system should be carefully designed (as given in the guidelines in the British System Design Manual) to
suit the needs of its specific heating requirements and building layout. The type of duct system, (i.e. radial/
extended plenum/stepped) should be installed using the least number of fittings to minimise airflow resistance.
The base duct, which equalises the air pressure to supply ducts, shall be constructed to support the weight of the
heater, which shall be secured to the plenum with screws on at least two sides, and sealed using self-adhesive
foam strip, ducting tape or sealing compound. All ducting and blanking plates shall be mechanically secured and
sealed.
5.INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Note: For circulator Installation Instructions, refer to the relevant instructions provided with the circulator.
5.1 FLUES (see British Standards BS 5440 Pt. 1 Flues)
5.1.1All joints shall be soundly sealed.
5.1.2The flue should be kept as short and warm as possible.
5.1.3Sufficient support brackets shall be installed to bear the weight of the total flue system.
5.1.4The spigot connection of the heater draught diverter will accept internally the spigot end of a non-asbestos flue
to BS 567 or twin wall metal flue to BS 715 of nominal 100mm (4in) diameter.
5.1.5A split collar should be fitted to provide for flue maintenance or inspection.
5.1.6The flue shall be in accordance with the Building Regulations and British Gas Materials and Installations
specification 3rd edition) with regard to clearance and shielding from combustible materials.
326
5.1.7 All materials shall be in accordance with Building Regulations requirements.
5.1.8The flue should run as vertically as possible. Horizontal runs should be avoided if at all possible and any
directional change should be as gentle as possible. If there is any doubt about the flue configuration, the
equivalent flue height should be determined (see 5.1.10).
5.1.9 If the appliance to be fitted is a replacement, the old appliance should be checked for signs of spillage prior to
commencement of the installation and appropriate action taken. (i.e. check flue system and renew as necessary).
5.1.10 It is recommended that at least 600mm of vertical flue should be provided from the top of the draught diverter
(for new installations this shall be incorporated into the flue design). However, when carrying out replacement
installations, an existing flue system may be encountered, where the vertical flue above the appliance to the first
bend is less than 600mm. In the first instance, the installer must judge whether this distance can be achieved
practicably by some means. Where this is not practicable, the existing flue system may be used, providing there is
no evidence of spillage from the old appliance (see 5.1.9 above). Every effort must be made, however, to ensure
that the existing flue complies in every other way to BS 5440 Part 1, including the visual inspection, flue flow and
spillage test described in 4.3.2 of the above standard. Flue configurations may be assessed in terms of equivalent
vertical height - details are given below. For air heaters, the minimum equivalent vertical height is 1 metre. The
installer must make a judgement based on his knowledge and experience and the examination and testing
described above as to whether an existing flue system can be used.
Note: Ventilation of the compartment, room or internal space in which the appliance is to be installed must be checked
for compliance with the requirements of BS 5440 Part 2 ( Ref. Section 3 of these instructions) and upgraded as
necessary.
5.1.11 Calculation method for flue sizing: (BS 5440: Part 1, Appendix A)
a.This appendix provides a procedure for estimating whether a given flue design is likely to ensure full
clearance of combustion products.
b.The procedure is based on calculating the ‘equivalent height’ of the flue under consideration, i.e. that
height of the straight vertical circular flue pipe of specific size which will produce the same flow rate as
the flue under consideration. The equivalent height is calculated from the formula:
(K
+ Ko )
i
e
He = Ha x
(Ki + Ko)a - KeHa + Sum K
where:
He is the height of the equivalent flue;
Ha is the vertical height of the actual or proposed flue;
Ki is the inlet resistance of the flue;
Ko is the outlet resistance from the flue;
subscript e refers to the equivalent flue diameter;
subscript a refers to the actual or proposed flue diameter;
Ke is the resistance per unit length of the equivalent flue;
Sum K is the resistance (other than the inlet and outlet resistance) of the actual or proposed flue.
Note: K and Sum K are obtained from Table 2. Ko and Ki are obtained from Table 3.
c.Table 2 gives resistance factors for common flue components for use in the formula. Table 3 contains the
appropriate inlet and outlet flue resistances. The flue is likely to be satisfactory if its equivalent height
exceeds 1m.

A warm air unit with a 100 mm diameter flue spigot, fitted with a prefabricated flue system leading to a
ridge tile in the loft (refer Fig. 2):
From table 3:
Kia Inlet resistance of actual flue= 2.5

Note: Ventilation of the compartment, room or internal space in which the appliance is to be installed must be checked
for compliance with the requirements of BS 5440 Part 2 ( Ref. Section 3 of these instructions) and upgraded as
necessary.
5.1.12 Special consideration must be given to external flues with a view to prevention of condensation and weathering
problems.
5.1.13 An approved terminal should always be used; a ridge terminal or “GC1” terminal is specifically recommended.
The latter should be positioned in a free air space where it is not shielded by any structure. A minimum of 1m
(3ft.) from any vertical or inclined roof structure must be allowed for .
5.1.14 Where flue blocks are used, builders should ensure that no obstruction is created during erection. The installer
should ensure that the connection flue does not project beyond the internal wall of the flue blocks and that there
is provision for examination and servicing.

5.1.15 Important: Before installing the appliance, carry out a visual check of the flue system as directed in the relevant
section of BS5440 Pt.1, then check the flue performance as follows:a.Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
b.Introduce some heat into the flue, using a blow torch or other means.
c.Carry out a flow visualisation check with a smoke pellet at the intended position for the appliance. Ensure
that there is discharge of smoke from the correct terminal only , and no spillage into the room.
Smoke coming out of other than the correct terminal only, or a down draught or ‘no flow’ condition,
indicates that the flue has failed the test, and the appliance shall not be connected until the defect has been
found and rectified, and the test satisfactorily completed.
5.2ELECTRICAL
5.2.1Mains.
a.The heater is supplied with mains cable (PVC sheathed, heat resisting to 85oC), 3-core Brown-Blue-
Green/Yellow, 6A, 0.75mm2), connected to a terminal block and exiting through the heater at the right
hand top. The cable is suitable for a 230V 50Hz supply and shall be connected to the fixed wiring
using a double pole switched, fused spur, incorporating a protective earth link. The fuse fitted shall be
rated 5A to BS1362. Connections shall be in accordance with the current edition of I.E.E Regulations BS
7671.
b.Fan Delay Control and Limit Switch are not adjustable and are set as follows:
i.BASIC Models: Fan delay control closes at 54OC± 4.5OC; opens at 40OC±3OC.
ii.All Models: Limit Switch opens at 80OC; closes at 60OC.
c.SYSTEM E-T MODELS: An electronic controller (Thermista-stat) is supplied which acts as a room
thermostat.
d.BASIC MODELS: A 24V room thermostat (not supplied), that complies with BS 800, BS 3955 and BS4201 is
essential to ensure close control of comfort conditions. An anticipator is located within the thermostat and is
graded in amps. The anticipator should be checked and adjusted to 0.2A.
5.2.2Thermista-stat/Room Thermostat and its location.
a.The Thermista-stat/Room Thermostat should be located where there is free air circulation approx. 1.5m
(5ft) from the floor.
b.A void the following locations:-
i .In a room where temperature is greatly affected by the sun or any other heat source, e.g. radiant
fire, wall light fittings or TV set.
ii.Near an outside door or windows, or on an outside wall.
iii.Where affected by warm air ducts, diffusers, waste pipes or the heater itself.
iv.Where subject to vibration.
c.Connect the Thermista-stat/Room thermostat wires to control panel terminals ‘7’ and ‘8’ (see Fig. 6a/b
or 7a/b).
5.3GAS (See BS5864 and BS6891)
5.3.1An independent gas supply pipe from the meter is to be preferred wherever possible. When this is not possible,
the pipe must be capable of taking the complete input of the heater and all other gas appliances being served by
this same pipe. This supply should be suitably sized to conform to British Standards requirements of no more than
1.0 mbar (0.4in wg) pressure drop (See table of discharge in BS6891).
5.3.2The 1/2in union gas cock (supplied) must be fitted to the gas inlet of the heater for easy isolation during servicing.
The gas pipe should be so fitted and installed as to be durable, substantial and gas tight. To assist in determining
where a gas connection may not be tight, a leak detection fluid should be applied around the connection. Under no
circumstances should a flame be used to locate a gas leak. Gas entry to the air heater is through either side to a
Rc1/2 (1/2in BSP . external [taper] thread).

9.DEFECT DIAGNOSIS
9.1IMPOR T ANT: If an electrical defect occurs after installation of the appliance; preliminary earth continuity, polarity ,
and resistance to earth checks should be carried out with a multimeter. On completion of any
maintenance/fault-finding task that has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, then checks
of continuity, polarity , and resistance to ear th must be repeated.
9.2WARNINGS:
9.2.1When purging or checking gas supplies, ensure that ventilation to the room or cupboard is adequate, and that all
naked lights are extinguished.
9.2.2SYSTEM E-T models:
a.When carrying out any electrical testing, a test meter MUST be used, since low resistance test devices can
cause damage to the Electronics module.
b.Before commencing defect diagnosis, ensure that the Thermista-stat is set to maximum, mains supply is
‘ON’ and the time control is at an ‘ON’ position.
c.Care is to be taken during the replacement and handling of electronic assemblies, (i.e., electronic panel,
airflow sensor or Thermista-stat). It is not practical to rectify defects on these assemblies, except at the
manufacturer, and any attempt to do so may render the guarantee or factory replacement arrangement
invalid.
