Technical data

technical data

Before installation, check that the local
distribution conditions, nature of gas and
pressure, and adjustment of the appliance
are compatible.

This heater is for use on:-

Natural gas G20, 20mbar.

Propane gas G31, 37mbar

Check data label attached for correct gas
type.

Correct burner settings are indicated in
the table below.

To access the gas connection, see section
10.

Ambi-Rad heaters must be installed in
accordance with the relevant provisions
of the Gas Safety (Installations and Use)
Regulations 1998.  Due account should
also be taken of any obligations arising

from the Health and Safety at Works Act
1974.  In addition the installation must be
carried out in accordance with the 
current IEE 1992 (BS 7671), BS 6896:1991
(Industrial & Commercial) and any other
relevant British Standards and Codes of
Practice.

A gas meter is connected to the service
pipe by the local gas region or a qualified
local gas region contractor.  An existing
meter should be checked preferably by
the Gas Region or a qualified local gas
region contractor to ensure that the
meter is adequate to deal with the rate of
gas supply required.  Installation pipes
should be fitted in accordance with BS
6891:1998, such that the minimum 
pressure at least (Please see the technical
data table below) will be achieved and
any other British Standards and Codes of
Practice will be complied with.   

Pipes of smaller size than the heater inlet
gas connection should not be used. 

The complete installation must be tested
for soundness as described in the 
previous standard.

The gas supply must not be in the 
position where it is subject to overheating.

The gas union service cock MUST be fitted
in the gas supply close to the heater, but
not onto the burner.

It is essential to provide some flexibility in
the final gas connection by use of a 
tested and certified metallic hose to BS
6501 Part 1:1991 (minimum acceptable
quality Type ‘B’ Class 1).  When stainless
steel flexible hoses are used the hose
should be connected in a 180˚ bend 
without any strain or torsion.  (See figure
1 overleaf).

Note:  Take care when making a gas 
connection to the heater not to apply 
excessive turning force to the internal 
controls.
