It is important to ensure that there is an adequate air supply at Figure 2c : Combustion air and flue pipe sockets
all times for both combustion and heating requirements. Type B
Modern constructions involve the greater use of insulation,
improved vapour barriers, and weather proofing. This practice
means that buildings are sealed much tighter than in the past.

The combustion air supply for a power vented gas fired air
heater (Type B installation) can be affected by lack of air
supply. Natural infiltration may not be adequate. Use of extract
fans aggravates this situation. It is important to ensure that there
is an adequate air supply at all times. Reliance on doors and
windows is not allowed. Always ensure that an adequate inlet
for fresh air for combustion is provided sized to suit the total
installation of any combustion apparatus.

3.7 Gas supply

SCA 4000 air heaters are designed to operate on either natural

gas (G20) or propane (G31) / butane (G30) gas. Refer to the
specifications in section 2 of this document and to the data plate
for details of supply pressures.

The gas meter and gas service must be checked by the supply
undertaking to ensure that they are adequate to deal with the
total load of all gas fired apparatus installed.
Be sure that the threaded hanger rods are locked to the heater as
illustrated. Recommended maximum hanger rod length is 1.8m.

0307SCA0AMEN 10/26
IMPORTANT: Figure 4
Suspend the heater from the threaded nut retainers. Do not
suspend from the heater cabinet panels.
Do not place or add additional weight to the suspended air
heater. See hazard levels, page 2.
The heater must be installed in a level plane to ensure
proper operation.

4.3 Fitting the Combustion air inlet/Flue system

Flue pipe runs may be horizontal or vertical and terminate

either through the wall or roof. See table 5 for maximum vent
length for an appliance installed as type B or table 6 for
maximum lengths and approved supplied concentric terminals
for a heater installed as a type C appliance.
All pipe runs must be independently supported so that the
heater does not carry any of the weight of the flue system.

4.3.1 Fitting the flue pipe

The flue pipe socket is located on the back of the air heater.
Flue pipes must be sealed. Use seamless, aluminium pipe or Figure 5
equivalent. Follow pipe manufacturer's instructions (see figures
4 & 5).

Socket 80 100 130

4.3.2 Installing a guard on the combustion air inlet

pipe for power vent (Type B installations)
The combustion air inlet socket is located at the back of the
heater. When installed as a type B appliance, protect the inlet
by fitting an access guard on the socket. Do not block this
socket as it supplies combustion air for the burner (see
figure 4).

4.3.3 Fitting the combustion air inlet pipe for balanced

flue (Type C installations)
The combustion air pipe attaches directly to the inlet socket at 4.4 Gas connection
the back of the heater. Air inlet pipes must be sealed. Use
seamless aluminium or equivalent. Follow the pipe Connection to a gas network may only be carried out by
manufacturer's installation instructions. See typical installations appropriately qualified persons. The gas installation must
in figure 5. comply with the rules in force using materials appropriate for
gas installation.

IMPORTANT: If the reset button requires activating for
any reason the cause should be identified before resetting.
After resetting stay with the appliance for long enough to
ensure that lock-out does not reoccur (suggest 5 minutes).
Fix all electric cables and installer’s wiring to the gas pipe
and ensure they do not touch the combustion collector box.

4.6 Room thermostat location

Do not attempt to control more than 1 air heater from a

room thermostat or control panel unless a properly wired
relay is fitted. Follow instructions supplied with such
panels.
The location of the room thermostat is important. It should not
be fitted on an outside wall. Avoid location in draughty areas or
where it may be influenced by heat sources e.g the sun, process
plant, etc. The thermostat or temperature sensor should be
mounted on a vibration free surface and mounted about 1,5
meters above floor level. Follow the thermostat manufacturers
