Ducted Gas Heater IM
2.5 SERVICE CONNECTION GUIDELINES
2.5.1
Gas Inlet Connection
• All piping must be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and any local gas regulations.
• The connection point for external model heaters is a female G3/4 compression fitting to AS 3688. This is either
located on the outer cabinet of the heater, or supplied loose within the heater.
The connection point for internal model heaters is a male G3/4 compression fitting to AS 3688, located in the heater
cabinet.
• A gas cock shall be fitted in the gas line adjacent to the heater and in a convenient location so it can be turned
OFF quickly and easily.
• The gas supply shall in no way interfere with any servicing of the heater.
NOTE
The gas supply
MUST
be installed by a licensed gas fitter. The gas pipe and gas meter should be
sized so the heater can maintain its required incoming gas pressure at maximum consumption
with all other gas appliances operating at their maximum capacity at the same time as the heater.
2.5.2 Electrical Power Supply
The heater is pre-wired with a 3-pin plug and lead, and shall be plugged into a standard 10 Amp 220-240V fixed
switched socket outlet adjacent to the heater in a convenient location so it can be turned OFF quickly and easily.
NOTE
A qualified electrician
MUST
install the 220 to 240 volt wiring according to local regulations.
IMPORTANT
Switch OFF the power and unplug the heater before touching any wiring. If any electrical wiring is
damaged, it
MUST
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agents or an electrically qualified
technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
The electricity supply must be 220-240V at 50Hz, and supplied by an authorised power supplier. Generators should
never be used to supply this system as their output may be incompatible with, or prone to damage electronic
components of the heater.
2.6 INSTALLATION OF DUCT CONNECTION POPS
The supply and return air pops must be fastened to the heater cabinet as follows:
• Insert pop into the cabinet pop hole, ensuring the flange is placed over the wall of the cabinet
• Spread flange to tightly fit the cabinet pop hole with the notched side overlapping the other
• Secure pops with the rivets supplied
2.7 HEATER POSITIONING
NOTE
All service clearance measurements
MUST
be adhered to, otherwise this will impede on the
serviceability of the heater.
Install the heater in a position that allows adequate and safe access for service as per guidelines in this manual
and its applicable standards. Otherwise, the cost of any equipment and additional labour involved in accessing such
heater installations will not be accepted by Brivis.
2.8 INSTALLATION OF EXTERNAL HEATERS
The Classic BX3C range is designed to be installed outside of the house only. All heaters that are installed externally
on the ground should be installed on a level concrete base or pad, and there must be provision made to drain away
any surface water from the heater.
If the heater is to be installed in an elevated position, or on a roof, the installation must comply with AS/NZS 5601
Gas Installations. It must be secured to prevent movement, and it must have adequate provision for service access.
