INSTALLATION MANUAL

Braemar Ecostar TH3, TH4 and TH5 Gas Ducted Heater

THIS HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON ONLY
DO NOT Operate this appliance before reading the instruction booklet.
DO NOT Place articles on or against this appliance.
DO NOT Use or store flammable materials near this appliance.
DO NOT Operate this appliance with panels, covers or guards removed.
DO NOT Spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

This Braemar gas ducted heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal
building codes, electrical wiring regulations, Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601 Gas Installations and any other relevant statutory
requirements.

This heater must not be installed downstream from an evaporative cooler, air washer or indoor unit of a refrigerated system. This
heater is not suitable for installation in a marine environment.

For external installations, ensure that the heater is located to maintain the minimum flue clearances as specified below and in
AS/NZS 5601. Measurement is taken from the edges of the flue terminal.

GAS TYPE: Refer label alongside gas inlet.

GAS CONSUMPTION: Refer data label on underside of appliance lid.

UNPACKING THE HEATER

Remove the plastic wrap and cardboard transport cover. Check that the heater model and gas type is as required - model details are
provided on the specification label on the end panel of the heater, gas type is given on the label next to the gas inlet. Report any
transit damage within 7 days - Do not install the heater if it is damaged.

To do this:
 Remove heater top panel.
 Remove the screws securing the side/end panels that are to be
changed.
 Remove the side panels.
 Move the inner metal insulation panel to the side or end of the
heater to ensure a twin skin sheetmetal layer is maintained.
 Secure the side panels in their required new positions and re-fit the

 Check that all panels are secure and that screws are tight.
 IMPORTANT: Increase the diameter of the air inlet spigot and the
full run of inlet duct by 50mm to maintain the original air flow rate if
it is moved from the open side to the motor side of the room fan.
 IMPORTANT: The air inlet panel must be fitted to the side of the

There is to be a minimum clearance of 200mm between the lowest part of the floor structure and any part of the heater.
 The heater is to be located within 2m of the access opening, or there is to be a minimum clearance of 1.2m between the lowest part of
the floor structure. and the ground level, maintained from the access opening to the appliance.
 The heater must be mounted on a level concrete base of at least 50mm thick as per the slab dimensions or suspended above the ground.
 Fixed artificial lighting must be provided at the heater, with the switch located adjacent to the access opening.

FLUE SYSTEM & CONDENSATE DRAIN TH5

Flue system
 Braemar TH5 heaters must be flued using 100mm DWV plastic pipe and components complying with AS1260.
 The flue terminal on the side of the heater is designed to accept either the male end of a 100mm DWV M-F elbow, or 100mm DWV pipe.
Connections
 The connection to the heater, and all other joins in the flue and condensate drain system must be sealed to prevent leakage of
condensate.
 USE SILICONE SEALENT OR PVC SOLVENT CEMENT AND PRIMER FOR ALL CONNECTIONS.
Flue treminal
 The flue system must be terminated to outside with a 100mm DWV vent cowl as shown in the installation diagrams.
 This is supplied in both internal and external installation accessories kits.
Maximum flue length
 Maximum vertical rise : 5 metres,
 Maximum total flue length 12 metres,
 Maximum number of bends 4 x 90° (2 x 45° bends = 1 x 90°).
Condensate drain
 Use either 15mm rigid PVC pressure pipe or 20mm rigid PVC electrical conduit.
 Do not allow condensate to be discharged over electrical connections, earth stakes, concrete paths, copper pipes or metallic roofs.
Do not discharge directly into guttering.
 Condensate can be discharged into a vent pipe via a tundish and self-sealing device, or into a vertical section of a downpipe via a tundish.
 Condensate drain must run down hill from connection point on heater to point of discharge - do not allow any part to run up-hill.
 Condensate drain must be well supported.
 Do not allow condensate to be discharged into any potable water system or potable water system collection point.
 Fit insulation (eg, Armaflex)over full length of condensate drain line in sub-zero climates.

INSTALLING THE DUCT THERMISTOR TH4 - TH5

Thermistor location is CRITICAL to the correct operation of the heater

 The outlet air temperature thermistor must be installed in the outlet air duct approximately 3 metres of duct length from the
heater outlet.
 On systems with more than 1 outlet duct from the heater the thermistor must be located in the duct that always has air flow.
To Install the Thermistor
 Drill a 12 mm hole in the BTO or duct.
 Feed the thermistor and bracket through the grommet in the side of the heater.
 Insert the bracket into the hole in the BTO and screw into place.
 Seal the hole.
 Coil and secure any excess thermistor cable outside the heater.
