Step 1 Find Suitable Location For S pace Heater Installation
Consider the following points:
i. For weight distribution in caravans, aim to position the Space Heater as near to the axle as possible.
You must avoid (where possible) locating at the very rear and preferably avoid the very front.
ii. If mounting under the floor, the Space Heater must be positioned within the chassis members and
close to the axle to help protect the appliance.
iii. Please note: The Space Heater, ducts and flues will become hot. Please avoid anything directly
touching these.
iv. Ensure the position allows access for servicing the Space Heater and that there is a minimum of
25mm distance around the Space Heater to adjacent walls.
v. The hot air outlet of the Space Heater must be fitted to the hot air ducting system. The Space Heater
must be positioned to minimise the amount of ducting required and sharp bends in the ducting must
be avoided.
vi. In selecting the position of the Space Heater, ensure that the exhaust flue and combustion air inlet
flues can be installed avoiding all chassis members and gas pipes etc. that are located underneath
the floor. Remove the flue template from the back of the instruction manual and use this to find a
suitable location.
vii. The open end of the exhaust flue must not be fitted at the side of the caravan / motorhome where
an awning may be fitted. The Space Heater must be installed on the opposite side of the caravan
/ motorhome to avoid routing the exhaust flue to the far side of the caravan / motorhome.
viii. Only Whale® supplied flue components are permitted to be used. The open end of either flue must
not be positioned within 300mm of a refuelling point or fuel tank breather outlet or any ventilator from
the fuel system(s). The exhaust flue must not be fitted within 300mm of a ventilator for the living
space or an opening part of a window. The open end of the exhaust flue must be positioned at least
500mm from the open end of the combustion air flue and be pointing in the same direction. The
exhaust flue must be positioned at the side or end of the caravan / motorhome. The exhaust flue
may only be positioned vertically below an opening part of a window if the appliance is fitted with an
automatic shut-off device, to prevent operation when the window is open.
Fuel refuelling / breather vent
ix. The combustion air inlet flue can be terminated underneath the vehicle. The open end of it must be
at least 500mm away from the open end of the exhaust flue, and pointing in the same direction. Take
care to ensure that both flues have a slight downward slope from as close to the Space Heater as
possible to prevent any possibility of water traps. Ensure that neither the exhaust nor the combustion
air inlet flues are terminated in an underfloor box section.
x. The minimum length of the exhaust flue is 0.75 metres, and maximum length 2 metres. The minimum
length of the combustion air inlet flue inlet must be 0.75 metres, and maximum length 2 metres.
xi. When operating the Space Heater using gas, the combustion air inlet flue and outlet openings for the
products of combustion (exhaust flue) must never be obstructed. They must be checked regularly,
and if necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter, snow must be removed from the combustion
outlet flue and combustion flue intake).
