NATURAL AND LP GAS
Both LP and natural gas are odoured to
help detect leaks.
Appliances using LP gas are different from
natural gas models. A natural gas geyser
can not function safely on LP gas and vice
versa.
Do not try to convert the gas geyser from
a natural gas to a LP gas appliance and vice
versa. This could damage the appliance,
cause injuries or fires. Never connect the
gas geyser to a fuel type that is not in
accordance with the appliance’s data table.
WHEN DETECTING A LEAK ON
YOUR INSTALLATION
LP gas is twice as heavy as air and may
accumulate in low lying areas and cavities.
Before opening the hot water tap to test
your gas geyser have your installer check
all gas fittings and connections. Bubbles
indicate a leak.
1. Do not attempt to find the cause
yourself and turn off the gas supply in
finding a leak.
2. Do not ignite any appliance.
3. Do not touch any electrical switch.
4. Evacuate the house immediately with
your family and pets.
5. Leave the doors open for ventilation and
contact the gas supplier, registered LP
Gas Installer or Fire Department.
6. Stay away from the house (or building)
until the service call has been made,
the leak is fixed and the space has been
declared as safe.
7. Ask the installer to show you where the
gas shut-off valve is and how to use it.
8. Turn off the manual shut-off valve if
the gas geyser has been subjected to
overheating, fire, flood, physical damage
or if the gas supply fails to shut off.
Gas detectors are highly recommended
and they must be installed in accordance to
the detector manufacturer’s regulations.
GAS SUPPLY
1. The gas type should match the
specification table. This is a low pressure
gas applinace and the appropriate
regulator should be used.
2. Ensure there is sufficient gas pressure
(2,8kPa) for the gas supply.
3. The gas line should be equipped with a
shut off valve.
4. At least a soapy solution must be used
to check all connections and fittings for
gas leaks.
5. The COC should be issued and signed
after the installation has been inspected.
