Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be
positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when
the appliance is installed. Connect the gas supply to the ½ ”
B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. Refer to ‘bench
cutout’ (Figure 4) for connection point position.
Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the
component maker for use with Natural Gas. The appliance
installer is not required to make an adjustment to obtain the
correct outlet pressure setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction
of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is
oriented correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check
for leaks from the connections with soapy water.
