Connecting the Gas Supply 27
WARNING
●
If a gas type other than the one specified on the boiler
reference plate is used, it could cause fire or even
explosion.
●
It is important to ensure that the gas supply is suitable for
the type and capacity of the boiler.
●
Thoroughly check the seal and draining of the entire
installation, as a gas leak could cause serious damage
and/or death.
DANGER
●
Gas leaks can cause explosions resulting in serious
personal and material damage.
●
Keep all doors and windows open while you are bleeding
the gas pipes and put out any cigarettes, flames or other
possible source of ignition.
For the installation of any type of gas, the installer must be
authorised by the Ministry of Industry and strictly follow the
applicable Gas Regulations. The gas installation must comply
with the Gas Installation Regulation.
However, the following recommendations must be complied
with, at the least:
●
Before installing the gas pipes, check the type of gas is
compatible with the boiler.
●
Check that the gas meter in the home can measure the rate of
gas supply required.
●
The gas pipe diameter is not determined by the boiler
connection. It should be calculated in accordance with its
length and consequently its pressure drop.
●
The pipes must be directly connected to the main gas supply
pipe, not connected in parallel to other gas appliances.
●
Check there are no leaks from the installation.
●
The gas supply company is the sole responsible for
connecting the gas meter to the gas installation.
To connect the gas supply:
1. Connect the gas supply pope to the connection located on
the underside of the apliance.
2. After completing the gas installation, check there are no
leaks and bleed the air from all the pipes, following the
procedures described in the applicable standards to this
respect.
