The Santa Fe (flueless) models use a flexible hose and bayonet. The bayonet can be connected to an AGA approved G 1/2” floor bayonet socket. In all cases a shut-off valve should be installed directly behind the heater to facilitate isolation of the heater for servicing.
SEISMIC RESTRAINT New Zealand regulations require that flued gas heaters be secured to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. This is best done by fastening the heater to the floor right through any floor protector that may be fitted. Fasten with two screws not less than 12 gauge or the equivalent in coach screws or toggle fasteners.
