Step 1 Find Suitable Location For Space Heater Installation
Consider the following points:
i. For weight distribution in caravans, position the Space Heater as close to the axle as possible. You
must avoid locating the Space Heater at the very rear or very front of the vehicle.
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. Avoid anything directly touching
these.
iv. Ensure that the position of the Space Heater allows access for servicing 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. 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
flue can be installed avoiding all chassis members and gas pipes etc. that are located underneath
the floor. For SH2202 and SH2201, use flue template supplied.
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. It is recommended that the Space Heater is 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 500mm 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 intake 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 must 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.
Care must be taken 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 1.25 metres, and the maximum length is 2 metres.
The minimum length of the combustion air inlet flue inlet must be 1.25 metres, and the maximum
length is 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
