The integral element 39 providing the seat 40 is provides by a lug-like protrusion of the monolithic element 26. This reduces the space occupied by the assembly especially during shipment.
  • The fan impeller housing part 25 comprises an integral element 41 providing an additional seat 42 for the gas valve housing 14 of the gas valve 10 when the assembly is shipped from the factory to the customer. Said element 41 providing the additional seat 42 is in the embodiment of Figure 2 formed integral with one of the brackets 32 at the outer surface of the fan impeller housing part 25. This further reduces the space occupied by the assembly especially during shipment.
  • The fan impeller housing part 25 comprises grooves 43 or receiving a non-return valve 44.
  • The non-return valve 44 comprises a valve frame 45 made from a relative rigid material and a valve flap 46 made from a relative elastic material. The valve flap 46 is hinged to a sealing ring 47 made from a relative elastic material.
  • The valve frame 45 comprises a groove 48 for the sealing ring 47. The valve flap 46 is attached to the valve frame 45 though the sealing ring 47 when the sealing ring 47 is positioned in the groove 48 of the valve frame 45.
