4.2 Connec>ng the Appliance to the Gas Supply
The gas supply should be connected to the appliance by a concealed fiBng from the rear. In
all installaon condions the gas connecon should be provided using 8mm (O/D) copper
tubing.
No soldered joints
should be used with the firebox of the appliance. The blind
grommet which is supplied in the standard fiBng pack
MUST
be used to close up the knock
out hole—simply cut a small cross with a sharp knife in the centre of the grommet—this will
then seal around the gas pipe to provide a ght seal.
Under no circumstances
should this gas
entry hole be
le< open
and
unsealed
as this can result in
flame reversal
and can cause
damage
to the appliance.
Should this occur the warranty to this appliance will be rendered
void.
Before connecng the gas supply to the appliance the supply should be purged to ensure no
debris can enter the appliance and a gas soundness test should be performed to ensure that
the exisng pipe work in the property is sound.
The following diagrams show the access to the inlet gas pipe where the isolaon valve will be
fiLed.
If the burner tray needs to be removed, see full details on pages 40-42.
The gas connecon should be made to the appliance by the 8mm restrictor isolaon valve
supplied with the appliance. This restrictor elbow is supplied loose and should be fiLed as
per the label on the instrucon packet.
Test the operang pressure of the appliance by aLaching a pressure gauge to the test point
of the appliance. This connecon should take place when the appliance is OFF. Ensure that
gas is turned on at the gas meter.
