GAS CONNECTION
The fitting (fig. 5.1) is made up of:
–
1 nut "A"
–
1 elbow fitting "C"
–
gasket "F"
Connection to the Gas Supply
–
Be careful when flexible pipes are used that
they do not come into contact with moving
parts.
–
To maintain the thickness of 3 cm, the hob
is fitted with a channel to contain the con-
nection pipe.
–
The gas inlet union can be turned in the
direction required after the elbow fitting
"C" and nut "A" connection (figure 5.1) has
been slackened (fig. 5.2).
–
Never put it in the horizontal or vertical po-
sition.
–
Never attempt to turn the elbow "C" without
having first slackened off the relative lock nut
"A".
–
The gasket "F" (fig. 5.1) guarantees the seal
of the gas connection. It is recommended
that it be replaced whenever it shows even
the slightest deformation or imperfection.
–
Using a suitable leak detection fluid so-
lution (e.g. Rocol) check each gas con-
nection one at a time by brushing the
solution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak.
If there is a leak, tighten the fitting and then recheck for leaks.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a naked flame to test for leaks.
If installation is to be carried out using a flexible connector (to BS669), then the following
points must be adhered to:
Note: The gas installation pipes and the final connection to the appliance connecting pipe
shall be sufficient size to maintain the heat output of the appliance as specified under in-
stallation.
1.
The appliance flexible connector should not be subject to undue forces, either in nor-
mal use whilst being connected or disconnected.
2.
The appliance flexible connector should not be subject to excessive heat by direct
exposure to flue products or by contact with hot surfaces.
3.
The socket into which the plug of the appliance flexible connector fits should be per-
manently attached to a firmly fixed gas installation pipe and positioned such that the
hose hangs freely downwards.
4.
The appliance flexible connector should be positioned such that it will not suffer me-
chanical damage; eg abrasion from the surrounding kitchen furniture which may be
moved in use, such as a door or drawer, or by being trapped by a stability device.
5.
The plug-in connector should be accessible for disconnection after moving the ap-
pliance.
