Fluing 

The appliance must be flued to the outside environment, in accordance with the Gas Installation 
Code, AS5601.  The size of the circular flue required for each Super Star model is given in Table 
2.  Lateral flue runs shall not exceed half the total flue run  with a certified Flue Cowl fitted at the 
discharge end.  If the location does not permit this, provision shall be made for a duct to carry the 
flue vertically upward the appliance through the building to terminate it into the atmosphere. If the 
bare  flue  length  is  more  than  3  meters  the  flue  may  condense  and  in  that  situation  the 
condensate should be discharged at the horizontal flue pass to the nearest drainage point using a 
silicone or a non-corrosive tube, refer the installation code guidelines. The total length of the flue 
should not be more than 10 meters. 

Gas Piping 

A licensed gas fitter must install the gas piping.

  

The connection at the appliance is to a ¾” 

BSP male thread,  located  at the inlet of the  gas control (found  at the lower front  of the unit).   A 
single female ¾” BSP flare nut is supplied with the unit for connection to the required gas piping.  
An  AGA  approved  appliance  isolating  cock  must  be  installed  close  to  the  unit.    Gas  piping 
material  and  size  must  be  in  accordance  with  the  Gas  Installation  Code,  AS5601.    The  gas 
connection  must  be  tested  for  any  leakage.   

Do  not  use  an  open  flame  or  other  source  of 

ignition  for  leak  testing.

    The  following  diagram  illustrates  a  typical  gas  valve  showing  the 

location of the gas inlet and outlet and the pressure testing point.

Electrical Requirements 

Power Connections 

Check that the electrical supply meets the values specified on the name plate and wiring diagram 
of  the  unit.    The  wiring  diagram  should  be  found  on  the  front  panel  of  the  heater.    A  10-Amp
