3.2 VENTILATION CALCULATIONS
For installation of internal heaters in a room, enclosure, residential garage, or plant room with natural ventilation
conditions, ensure adequate ventilation is available by utilising the following formulae:
Installation of a gas appliance in a room or enclosure for properties approved for
construction prior to 31st March 2014
a. Determine if the unit(s) MJ/hr rating for each cubic metre of the room or enclosure, is greater than 3 MJ/hr per m3.
Example:
Unit rating (Ur) = 120MJ/hr
Room volume (Rv) = 1m x 1m x 2.4m = 2.4m3
Ur/Rv = 120/2.4 = 50 MJ/hr per m3
As the result if greater than 3 MJ/hr per cubic metre of the space, additional ventilation is required.
b. Two permanent openings are required, each equivalent in area to the determined value A. The lower vent shall
be located close to the floor or at burner level for a Downflow unit. The upper vent shall be located at or above
the top of the unit. The two openings may be combined as long as the above conditions are met.

Brivis 11 Ducted Gas Heater IM
Determine free ventilation area using A = T x F, where:
A = minimum free ventilation area, mm2
T = total gas consumption of all gas appliances, MJ/hr. e.g. SP623 = 86MJ/hr
F = factor (detailed in the table below)
Table 2. Ventilation F Factors
Gas appliance location Source of Ventilation Factor F
Gas appliance in a room or enclosure
Directly to outside* 300
Via an adjacent room 600
Gas appliance in a plant room
Directly to outside* 150
Via an adjacent room 300
* Directly to outside means through an outside wall, into a cavity vented to outside, into an
underfloor space or roof space vented to outside.
Installation of a gas appliance in a room, enclosure, residential garage or plant room for
properties approved for construction after 31st March 2014
c. Determine if the unit(s) MJ/hr rating for each cubic metre of the room, enclosure, residential garage or plant room
is greater than 0.4 MJ/hr per m3.
Example:
Unit rating (Ur) = 120MJ/hr
Room volume (Rv) = 1m x 1m x 2.4m = 2.4m3
Ur/Rv = 120/2.4 = 50 MJ/hr per m3 > 0.4 MJ/hr per m3
As the result if greater than 0.4 MJ/hr per cubic metre of the space, additional ventilation is required.
Refer to AS/NZS 5601 for natural ventilation requirements.
Note: For all other applications, e.g. Mechanical Ventilation, refer AS/NZS 5601.
3.3 INSTALLATION OF EXTERNAL HEATERS
SP5 & SP6 External models can be installed outside of the house. For an installation under a house floor, an SP5
or SP6 Internal model should be chosen.
All heaters that are installed externally on the ground should be installed on a level concrete base or pad, and there
must be provision made to drain away any surface water from the heater and condensate for SP6 models. If the
heater is to be installed in an elevated position or on a roof, the installation shall comply with AS/NZS 5601. It must
be secured to prevent movement and it must have adequate provision for service access.

f. Pivot the fan cabinet upwards high enough to dislodge the lower locking tabs fixed to the fan cabinet near the
base.
g. The heater is now split in two.
h. Protect the exposed looms and tabs from damage while the heater is split in two parts.
i. Once ready, reassemble in reverse order.
Note: Ensure when reassembling the heater that everything is put back and connected correctly.
4.4 CHANGING THE RETURN AIR POP ORIENTATION
The return air pop orientation can be changed from side to side or to the rear of the heater if necessary.
Reversing the Side Entry
• Remove the screws securing the side pop blanking plate and remove the blanking plate.
• Swap to the other side and fasten with the same screws.
Changing to Rear Entry
Note: If this is done, predominantly when a unit is laid down, then the total number of outlets normally permitted for that installation
must be reduced by 2 (refer to the outlet register chart, Table 8 on page 26).
• Remove the screws securing the end pop blanking plate and remove the blanking plate.
• Swap to the open side and fasten with the same screws.
IMPORTANT:
RETURN AIR CONNECTION AT THE END OF THE UNIT (REAR ENTRY)
On applicable models, connecting the Return Air duct to the end of the unit (rear entry) will result in reduced air
flow – for example, when using a Lay Down Kit. In this situation:
– The total number of outlets normally permitted for a heating system shall be reduced by 2 (refer to the outlet
register chart located on page 20).
– DO NOT USE this configuration in Add-On Cooling applications, unless you ensure Minimum Recommended
Airflow required for the cooling is maintained.

5.3 REVERSING THE HEATER
The duct orientation of SP5 & SP6 External heaters can be reversed if the installation requires it.
• Remove the screws at the bottom edge of the front panel of the heater, and carefully lift away the front panel,
without scratching or marking it.
• There are two blanking plates behind the front panel, which cover the two pop holes. Remove the two
blanking plates.
• Fit the two blanking plates to cover the original pop holes to prevent air leakage.
• Above the original pop holes there will be a flashing bracket secured by screws, which needs to be reversed.
Remove the flashing bracket, and fit it to the new pop outlet side of the heater.
• Gently fit the front panel back in place on the reverse side from where it was removed, and fasten using the
screws along the bottom edge.
5.4 INSTALLATION OF FLASHING
A minimum 75mm flashing must be fitted to ensure the ductwork is adequately weather protected.
• Clip flashing into position by placing the lugs of the flashing firmly into the slots on either side of the cabinet
wrap flanges at the rear of appliance.
• Place a bead of silicone along the upstanding face of the top flashing then push the heater up against wall
and secure sides of flashing to the wall.
Note: It is important to allow for sufficient slack in the ducting connected to the heater's pops, to allow the heater to be moved out
from the wall if required for servicing.

5.7 FLUE TERMINAL CLEARANCES
Heaters that are installed outside the house should be positioned so that, when measured from the edges of the flue,
the following minimum clearances exist, which are in accordance with AS/NZS 5601:
75mm
• Out from the wall against which it is mounted.
• From a drain or soil pipe.
300mm
• From a flue terminal, cowl or combustion air intake.
• Below eaves, balconies or other projections.
• From the ground, above a balcony or other surface.
• To a return wall or external corner.
• Measured horizontally, from an opening window, door, non-mechanical air inlet or any other opening into the
building (except sub floor ventilation) or 1500mm in direction of discharge.
500mm
• From an electricity meter or fuse box (prohibited area extends to ground level).
1000mm
• Measured vertically, from an opening window, door, non-mechanical air inlet or any other opening into the
