A panel for a heating unit, comprises a supporting plate (33) and at least one conduit (42) disposed at a first side of the plate (33). A tubular connector (40) is fixed to the conduit (42) and has a portion (44) extending through an aperture (46) in the plate in order to allow connection of an operative component (6) thereto at the opposite side of the plate (33). The aperture is of a larger dimension than the tubular portion (44) of the connector (40) to allow a limited degree of movement of the conduit (42) and the connector (40) relative to the plate (33) in a lateral direction substantially parallel to the plate (33). Further compliant support is afforded by heat-insulative material (58) enclosing the conduit. <IMAGE> |
