Which states do not allow flueless gas heaters?

Flueless gas heaters are illegal in SA, VIC and TAS. They are safe to use in other states provided the installation and use of the product are followed as per the instruction manual.

Approx. how long does the LPG version burn on 1 x 45kg cylinder?

100hrs on high. 200 hrs on low.

Can I install the Supaheat – Indoor Room Heater in a bedroom, bathroom, hallway or caravan?

No.

What’s the difference between a flueless gas heater and a flued gas heater?

A flueless gas heater releases combustion gases and water vapour directly into the home. They are more energy efficient and cost less to purchase and install than flued gas heaters.

What is the longest hose allowed when installing the Supaheat – Indoor Room Heater?

The longest hose allowed by Aus law is 3m. 10HEV3000 is our compatible 3m hose. 

Do you manufacture or sell longer pigtails?

No. The longest we make is 600mm. This is the longest hose that is allowed to be installed according to Australian Standards.

When are the type 27 pigtails required?

The type 27 pigtails must be supplied instead of the POL connections after April 2022 on new appliances. Old pol pigtails can continue to be used on old installations until they are replaced. 

The Type 27 pigtail doesn’t fit my cylinder. What should I do?

A new cylinder should be purchased as a replacement with the correct type 27 valve.

Will the Type 17 pigtails fit into a 45kg cylinder?

No. Only 4kg-9kg cylinders with this type 27 valve will work with this pigtail. Larger cylinders still only require the normal POL connections.

Why were the connections changed to Type 27 pigtails?

These new valves significantly reduce the chance of incorrectly connecting the hose to the gas bottle allowing gas to escape and causing a potential fire risk. They do not allow gas to escape without a correctly installed compatible hose.
