Natural Gas requirements
• The enclosure must be constructed so that access can
be gained to the Natural Gas regulator at all times�
• For pipe sizing requirements for supply pipe refer
to AS5601�
Universal LPG requirements
• If an LPG bottle is to be stored in the enclosure under
the burner unit, it must be isolated from the burner
unit with a non-combustible panel� The enclosure must
comply with the requirements of AS5601�
• AS5601 ventilation requirements for cylinder storage
are:
– Where of sheet metal or similar impervious
construction there shall be ventilation openings
at the top and bottom of the enclosure or recess,
each opening providing a free area of at least 200cm
2
for every cylinder enclosed�
• For ULPG installations having enclosed cabinetry below
the separation panel that does not contain a gas bottle,
low level venting must be installed� This is to allow the
gas which is heavier than air escape from the enclosure
in the situation where there may be a leak� A minimum
opening of 200cm
2
is required�
When installing integrated burner with the integrated
barbecue, ventilation to the side burner can be achieved
from one common vent (as shown above)� Provided there is
no restriction of airflow in the enclosure construction (i�e� no
separation panel between barbecue and side burner)�
A minimum clearance of 80mm (as shown on page 12) must
be observed� This prevents heat transfer between units�
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for construction
requirements of specific bench top materials�
Vent 700mm x 25mm
