Rigid Connection
Where it is not possible to make the connection
using a rubber hose, a rigid pipe work connection
must be used.
Recommendations when using an appliance
flexible connector are as follows:
- For NATURAL the gas installation pipes to the
termination point shall comply with:
Specification for installation of low-pressure
gas pipe work of up to 20mm (R1) in domestic
premises (2nd family gas) – BS 6891;
Connection shall be by means of an appliance
flexible connector for use with a self-sealing plug-in
device, complying with:
Flexible hoses, end fittings and sockets for gas
burning appliances – BS 669;
- The appliance flexible connector should not be
subjected to undue forces either in normal use
or whilst connected or disconnected; The
socket which the plug of the appliance flexible
connector fits should be permanently attached
to a firmly fixed gas installation pipe and
positioned such that the appliance flexible
connector hose hangs freely downwards (see
fig. 27);
- The appliance flexible connector should be
positioned such that it will not suffer
mechanical damage, e.g. abrasion from the
surrounding kitchen furniture, which may be
moved in use such as a drawer or door, or by
being trapped by any stability device.
The plug-in-connector should be accessible for
disconnection after moving the appliance.
Position of the cylinder (propane bottle)
The cylinder must be installed by qualified
personnel, according to the relevant British
Standards.
You must not lay the cylinder in the
storage compartment! The appliance should be
connected to a bottled gas (LPG) externally.
