General product information

The Gas Fired Cabinet Heater models have an output range
from approximately 32.0 kW to 381kW, and are available in a
configuration that will allow for down flow, horizontal, or floor
mounting.
The units can suit either ducted applications, or be used as
free blowing units, but each heater must be connected to its
own individual open flue.
Each heater is fitted with a forced draught burner which has
been test fired and pre-set prior to despatch. The safety
functions of the burner are by way of a fully sequential control
box fitted to the burner.
Note
Neither asbestos nor soft soldered joints are used in the
construction or manufacture of The Gas Fired Cabinet
Heater range. The materials selected for use can withstand the
mechanical, chemical, and thermal stresses which they will
be subject to during foreseen normal use when installed in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

from the manufacturers guidance on intended use, or,
installation contrary to the manufacturers recommendations
may constitute a hazard.
