LGP Gas Installation at Low Pressure
To use the product with LPG gas at low pressure, it is necessary that the product is checked with
the injector for use of LPG gas, if it is not with the appropriate injector, the gas conversion should be
performed following the steps described in item 2.5 of this manual.
The installation of low pressure LPG gas must be carried out in a gas station distant from the
equipment used.
A first stage (first) regulating valve with an inlet of 7 kgf/cm2 and an outlet pressure of 1.2 kgf/cm2
is installed on site, placing copper or carbon steel piping as a gas conductor to the equipment
seamless. Install at the end, next to the equipment a second 2° (second) stage valve with inlet
pressure of 1.2 kgf /cm2 and outlet pressure of 2.8 kPa or 280mmc.a.H2O.
Using a certified hose, connect the valve directly to the pressure regulator at the gas inlet at the rear
of the product, securing both ends with clamps to both the 2nd stage valve and the equipment.
Note: If in doubt consult the legislation in force in your state/ municipality.
Gas Leak Check
Before lighting the equipment and putting it into operation, check all gaskets on the gas supply line
for leaks. For this, do not use any type of wrench to check for leaks, use a sudsy soap and water
solution.
Follow the steps below for the correct procedure to power on:
1.
Turn pilot valves to OFF position by turning adjusting screws clockwise.
2.
Turn on the manual gas valve on the inlet side of the gas supply line.
3.
Check for gas leaks at the flexible coupling or gas connector connection using a soap solution.
4.
In moderation, spray or scrub the solution with soap on gas connections - active bubbling indicates the
location of the gas leak.
5.
If a gas leak is detected, turn off the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas line. Call your certified
and licensed service technician.
6.
If the equipment has no gas leak, continue with the equipment operating instruction.
