20 Installation Guidelines For Australian 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators
Installing and Connecting Gas Lines
Gas Train Assembly
In addition to the required shutoff valve, flexible fuel
hose, and sediment trap, local code and regulations may
require the installation of additional components not
included with the generator. These components include
but are not limited to: gas over-pressure switch, gas
under-pressure switch, gas pressure test points, regula-
tor, and gas filter. If installation of the gas pressure
switch(es) is required, see Fuel Field Kit Installation (If
Required) for instructions on how to connect switch(es).
When connecting the gas line to the generator, use a
listed assembly that meets the requirements of ANSI
Z21.75/ CSA 6.27—Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appli-
ances and Manufactured Homes, or AGA-approved flexi-
ble fuel line, in accordance with local regulations.
Gas line connections should be made by a certified con-
tractor familiar with local codes. Always use AGA -
approved gas pipe and a quality pipe sealant or joint
compound.
Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the LP tank
to provide sufficient fuel for both the generator and other
operating appliances.
Shutoff Valve
See Figure 5-2. The generator will require an external
manual shutoff valve (A) on the fuel line. The valve must
be easily accessible.
Figure 5-2. Sediment Trap, Fuel Shutoff Valve with
Manometer Port, and Flexible Fuel Line
NOTE: Local codes determine the proper location.
Flexible Fuel Line
Flexible fuel line is not included with this unit and must be
provided by the customer. Flexible fuel line shall not be
connected directly to the generator fuel inlet. Always con-
nect the flexible fuel line to an approved gas fitting.
The purpose of flexible fuel line (B) is to isolate vibration
from the generator to reduce possibility of a gas leak at
one of the connection points.
NOTE: Follow all installation instructions and warnings
provided with the flexible fuel line. Do not remove any
labels or tags.
Sediment Trap
Some local codes require a sediment trap (C). The fuel
regulator connection has an integrated sediment trap.
The sediment trap must be cleaned periodically accord-
ing to local codes. See the owner’s manual for more
information.

DANGER
Explosion and fire. Fuel and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. No leakage of fuel is
permitted. Keep fire and spark away. Failure to do
so will result in death or serious injury.
