Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance
D1 Power Supply
The EF5000 requires a constant external 24V AC 1A power supply that is connected to mains power
through the supplied transformer. The connection and the outlet must be protected against water
ingress.
While the cavity is being created, consideration must be given to the location of an appropriate power
supply. An earthed 230/240 volt mains power connection (typically a standard 3 pin outlet) must
be available. This connection must be accessible after the heater has been fully installed so that the
appliance can be safely disconnected from the mains power supply prior to servicing.
A mains isolation switch (compliant to AS:NZS 5601 Clause 6.2.8) which is accessible from outside
the cavity can also be used to disconnect the power. Regardless of the method used, it MUST
ALWAYS be possible to safely isolate the electrical supply to the appliance after it has been fully
installed.
D2 Gas Pipe Sizing
Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS/NZS 5601/AG601-2000. The pipe sizing
must be sucient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in
the home running at the same time:
Maximum EF5000 Gas Consumption - Natural Gas= 49MJ/hr
Maximum EF5000 Gas Consumption - Propane = 40MJ/hr
Maximum EF5000 Gas Consumption - ULPG = 40MJ/hr
D3 Gas Pipe Position
This fire has been supplied with a 1/2” pipe connected through a short 45° flare nut inlet connection
to make the gas supply easy and safe. Solid pipe should be run to the inside lower left hand side of the
fire. Insert the supplied rubber plug and cut it as shown below to allow the gas pipe and the electrical
cable to pass through, keeping the plug as air-tight as possible.
Gas Pipe Entry Point
Any flexible pipe should be attached to the copper supply pipe and joint tested to ensure gas tightness;
an isolating valve is recommended for this purpose.
