Instructions for the installer
3.7 -
GAS CONNECTION
The gas supply pipe must be connected to the boiler via the
respective pipe connection
R 3”
as indicated on page 9.
The gas supply pipe must have a section which is identical or
greater then the one used on the boiler and must assure a
correct gas pressure.
It is however important to comply with the specific norms and
requirements in force, foreseeing on-off valves, gas filter,
anti-vibrating joint etc.
Before commissioning an internal gas distribution system
and therefore before connecting it to the gas meter, the
complete installation must be tested for gas soundness.
If any part of the system is concealed from view the gas
soundness test must be carried out before covering the pipes.
DANGER!
The gas connection must be carried out by a
registered engineer who will have to respect
and comply to the regulations in force and to
the requirements indicated by the local gas
supplier. An incorrect installation could
cause injury to persons, animals or damage
to property. The manufacturer shall not be
held liable for any injury and/or damage.
Before installing the boiler it is recommended
to thoroughly clean all the supply piping in order
to remove any eventual residual grime which
could compromise the boilers correct
functioning.
If you smell gas:
a. Do not turn on or off electrical switches, use
the telephone or any other object which can
provoke sparks;
b. Open all doors and windows in order to
allow fresh air to enter and purify the room;
c. Close all gas cocks
d. Contact a service engineer, qualified
installer or the gas supply company.
As a safety measure against gas leaks, Unical
recommends installing a surveillance and
protective system made up of a gas leakage
detector combined with an on-off selenoid valve
on the gas supply line.
