DE LUXE GAS GRATES / INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7
Please Note:
The single stage low pressure LPG regulator supplied with all LP Gas appliances
and certified in accordance with SANS 1237:2012 has to be fitted in line.
Having positioned the gas cylinder, connect the regulator supplied to the flexible hose and the
male hose connector to the end of the copper tubing using the compression fitting. These fittings
are supplied and should be used, unless a larger diameter pipe is required in which case correct
larger fittings, regulator and pigtail must be used.
Tighten the hose clamps and connect the regulator to the cylinder. The regulator should be
protected from rain and orientated so that liquids cannot collect on the top causing rusting of
internal components and subsequent malfunctioning, i.e. the plastic cap should not face upwards
and the air vent in the low pressure regulator is pointing downwards.
Cover the end of the gas pipe to prevent dirt getting into it and potentially damaging the valve
later on, which would invalidate the Warranty.
If the pipe is to be laid in concrete, lay a sleeve of a larger dimension and run the gas pipe within
Run the gas pipe from the cylinder to the location of the fireplace, allowing an extra meter of free
pipe at the fireplace end. The pipe may be brought into the firebox through either side or the rear
of the firebox.
All gas line bends should be made with a pipe bender, to prevent a restrictive kink forming.
10. Fitting the Gas Grate to a Universal / IGC Built-in or Jetmaster Freestanding
Fireplace
This work can only be carried out by a person who is registered with SAQCC. To ensure that
the burner and coals are not damaged, this work must be done once all building work has been
completed.
Drill the side or the back of the Jetmaster firebox body with a 10 or 12mm drill for the gas pipe
entry point. Sleeve the gas pipe with metal tubing where it is to pass through the wall of the
fireplace to protect it.
If the pipe run from the gas cylinder has been made with a larger than 8mm pipe, reduce it here
by using a reduction fitting.
Purge the pipe for dust and debris by running the gas for a few moments. Failure to clear the
dust or debris from the pipe will invalidate the Warranty.
Remove the gas grate from its packing and examine the connections, checking that none are
loose.
