Gas connections
CONNECTIONS
The gas connection must be done in keeping with the installation rules in force
in the country where the appliance is to be used.
Connection to the previously installed shut-off valve must be made using a flexible hose
with screwable connectors, approved.
The characteristics of this hose must be tailored to the nature and distribution mode of the
gas used, as well as to the diameter of the connection used.
The hose must not pass behind, in front of or close to a hot air outlet. It must be put down
so as not to be reachable by flames. It must not be crushed or kinked, and must be put
down so as to avoid all pulling stress.
The hose must be firmly attached at both ends, and it must be possible to inspect the com-
plete hose length.
Moreover, the hose should be replaced by the user whenever required and, in all cases,
before the maximum use date given on the hose.
Recommended use: metallic flexible hose (stainless steel surrounded by metallic
braids) with screwable connectors, without any lifetime end date.
Regardless of the gas used, it is forbidden to connect our gas appliances with flexible hoses
mounted on rubber tail pieces.
The appliance is delivered with a threaded cou-
pling. The cylindrical external threading has a
gas thread of "G ½ A", in accordance with the
EN ISO 228-1:2003 standard. This type of
connection is used in France and some
European countries.
If you use an "R ½" external conic coupling in
accordance with the EN 10226-1:2004 and EN
10226-2:2005 standards or an "Rp ½" internal
cylindrical coupling as per the EN 10226-
1:2004 standard, then unscrew the adapter on
the appliance and either turn it around, or
connect your hose directly to the end of the
tubing.
Screw the gas hose at the end of the appliance tubing, tightening it only by hand. Place
two appropriate tools (one on the tubing to keep it from moving, and the other on the
hose coupling) and tighten the coupling on the hose.
Assemble the hose so that the hose is left hanging in a "U" form.
When the connection is terminated, perform a pressure test to check the sealing of the
appliance. When checking the sealing, make sure not to use washing-up liquid, which
could damage the appliance; instead, use a foam liquid specially intended to detect leaks.
