Instructions for the Installer
9. GAS CONNECTION
This appliance is suitable for installation with
Natural Gas or ULPG (propane). Refer to page
12 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) appliances. Connection of the
appliance to the gas supply must be in
accordance with the requirements of AS5601. 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:

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 1.0 kPa 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.
