Assembly - Gas Connection & Pressure Testing
A minimum 15mm-diameter gas supply pipe must be used to within 1 metre of the
installation with the final connection to the stove to be completed with the suitable 8mm
semi-rigid gas pipe. The 8mm pipe should be connected to the inlet of the gas valve
using the nut and 8mm olive provided. Support the control whilst finally tightening the
supply pipe.
The gas supply connection to the appliance is located at the right hand side rear of the
stove. The connection requires an 8mm-diameter semi-rigid pipe, not more than 1 meter
in length.
Pressure Testing
Always make sure that there is adequate gas pressure and volume to the stove. The
relevant pressures are on the ID plate on the gas control knob.
1.
For propane gas, this is 37mbar
measured at the inlet connection to the stove
with the appliance in the full rate position.
2. Ensure that the gas pressure to the stove is maintained when it is operating at
the same time as other appliances in the building and that a suitable pressure
gauge is used i.e. a manometer. If the gas pressure is not as per above it will be
the sole responsibility of the fitter to rectify and Broseley Fires will not be liable for
any associated costs.
3. All figures obtained during pressure testing should be recorded on the
commissioning form found at the end of these instructions.
Ventilation (GB only)
The gas stove is rated at less than 7kw and therefore does not normally require
additional ventilation in the room (BS5871 – part II).
