 Appliance
Room Sealed
The heaters are designed to be installed as room sealed 
appliances. The flue and air intake are run as separate 
pipes to the special concentric wall or roof terminal. The 
wire mesh inside the fresh air adapter on the heater must 
be removed prior to installation. 
11.1.2 Type B
22
 Appliance
The flue must be fitted with a low resistance terminal
11.1.3 Flue Installation
The fan outlet may discharge vertically or horizontally. 
Connection should be made using 100 mm minimum 
diameter aluminium or stainless steel flue material to 
National Standard and must be adapted to insert into the 
100 mm flue adapter. Both fresh air supply and flue duct 
shall not exceed 10,000 mm. BH15 and BH20 flue must 
be insulated if longer than 5,000 mm. BH25 flue must be 
insulated if longer than 8,000 mm. Contact the 
manufacturer if more than 2 x 45° offset bends are 
necessary. The flue must be self supporting.

11.1.4 Flueless Installation
If the heater is being installed in an area where 
combustion products can be dissipated within the 
building, ensure that the fan outlet is horizontal and away 
from the burner. Where installation is close to a wall
(perimeter system) or other obstruction close to the fan 
outlet or wall angle mounted, install the heater so that the 
fan tube is the furthest away from the wall or obstruction, 
i.e. the fan will always blow into the building or away from 
the obstruction.
11.2 Ventilation Requirements
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in the 
relevant National Standards. There must be an adequate 
supply of air for both combustion and general ventilation. 
Air vents should have negligible resistance. Do not locate 
air vents where they can be easily blocked or flooded, or 
adjacent to any flues or extraction systems carrying 
flammable vapour.
11.2.1 Flue Installation
Where the heater(s) is flued, the space containing it must 
have a permanent outside air vent with a minimum 
effective area of 4.5 cm2
 
per kW of heat input. If 
mechanical ventilation is employed, the minimum proven 
airflow rate shall be 2.35 m3/h per kW of heat input.
If the flue is to be horizontally vented through a wall, a 
wind-proof terminal must be fitted to outdoor vent pipe to 
prevent a back draught.
11.2.2 Flueless Installation (EN 13410)
The installation room must have a volume of at least 
10m
3
/kW of installed nominal heat input. A minimum of 
10m
3
/h of exhaust air per kW of operating heat input must 
be ventilated out of the installation room by either thermal 
or mechanical evacuation. Appropriate exhaust and fresh 
air openings must be provided and exhaust fans 
interlocked with the operation of the heating equipment. 
Further no exhaust system is necessary if the building air 
change rate is greater than 1.5 per hour or the density of 
operating heat input is not greater than 5 W/m
3
.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Multiburner systems are not approved for 
unvented use and must be vented outdoors.
Unitary heaters installed unvented must be 
interlocked with sufficient building exhaust.
Heaters must be installed according to the 
installation manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result 
in death or injury.
WARNING
Cut/Pinch Hazard
Wear protective gear during installation, 
operation and service.
Edges are sharp.
Failure to follow these instructions can result 
in injury.
