Instructions for the Installer

5 GAS CONNECTION

This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural

Gas or ULPG (propane/butane). Refer to page 17 and

18 for the relevant burner pressure and appropriate

injector sizes. When the appliance is to be connected to

Natural Gas then the pressure regulator supplied must

be fitted to the gas inlet. A test point (for checking the

gas pressure) is supplied either with the regulator or as

a separate fitting in the case of ULPG (propane/butane)

appliances.

Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be

in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS5601. A

½” BSP connector at the inlet is recommended and the

gas supply line to the appliance must be of adequate

length to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for

service or disconnection and be:

1. annealed copper pipe or;

2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class “B”, 10 mm

diameter, 1.2mt lenght.

The appliance must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be turned off and

disconnected for servicing and removal of the appliance as required from the gas

supply. Before the appliance is operated make certain all relevant parts are placed

in the correct position. When the installation is completed the installation

connections of appliance will require to be leak tested, the burner operating

pressure and flame checked and adjusted. Warranty service calls do not cover

these adjustments! To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is

recommended at least 2 large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is secured

to wall when installation is completed. N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to

the ½ BSP thread at the rear of the appliance. An approved manual shut-off valve

must be installed. The N.G. regulator must be checked and adjusted to 1.0kPa

after installation.

U.L.P.G. Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly.

The pressure must be checked to ensure it is operating

at 2.75kPa. A separate test point fitting must be

installed between the piping & the appliance for the

pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating at

2.75kPa.

Installation with the flexible hose must be carried out so that the length

of the piping does not exceed 1.2 metres fully extended; make sure that

the hoses do not come into contact with moving parts and that they are

not crushed in any way.
