INTRODUCTION
In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and
New Zealand require any solid fuelled heater installation to comply with the relevant
Safety Standard. In Australia, that Standard is AS 2918-1990, while in New Zealand
the Standard is NZS 7421-1990. They may also have local requirements in addition to
those in the Standard so you should approach your local Building Authority before
commencing installation to establish whether you will require a Permit and whether you
will need to meet extra requirements. MASPORT radiant heaters have been tested to
ensure that they will meet the appropriate safety Standard requirements if the
instructions in this book are followed.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY COMPONENTS APPROVED BY MASPORT ARE
USED FOR THE INSTALLATION, as substitutes may adversely affect performance
and might nullify compliance with the requirements of your Standard.
This recommendation is endorsed by Australian Standard 3869 - 1991, which states:-
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SHALL BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AS 2918 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE LOCAL BUILDING REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF
COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH
ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN
THE FIRST INSTANCE.
