– Housing for gas cylinder
•
The optional housing for the gas bottle cannot be airtight and has to be correctly ventilated. The housing needs
to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the base of
the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing). The
dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate different types and dimensions of the gas bottles
however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free installation of the gas bottle.
3.5. Installation of the gas linkage
WARNING!!! The montage and service needs to be conducted by a qualified professional, a company or the gas
supplier.
Before proceeding with the connection of the gas cylinder to the fireplace all activity regarding the correct placement
and installation of The Square needs to be already performed. Place the gas linkage away from hot or sharp edges and
make sure it is not twisted.
3.5.1. Connection and replacement of the gas cylinder (LPG version)
The Square is delivered together with an elastic gas linkage which, on one end is connected to the valve of the device
and one the other end to the gas regulator ready to be connected to the gas cylinder.
If your gas cylinder has a different inlet size or requires a different regulator, replace the included regulator with the
required one (available separately at your local market)
WARNING!!! NEVER use an unstable gas connection or a regulator for other gas pressure.
Gas cylinders have two types of connectors:
•
Twist-on connection: The most important thing is the black seal. Always check if the seal is present and that it
hasn’t been damaged during the gas cylinder replacement. Some connections have a knob to fasten them in
place while others require the use of a wrench. Tighten securely (left thread). Using the tool pay attention not
to fasten the connection too tightly as this may damage the seal.
•
Quick-release: For this type of connection no tool is required. On/off regulation of gas connection is made
through a switch on the regulator or on a special connector. In case of using a connector with a thread
regulator of an old type put a special emphasis on checking if the connecting nut has been tightly fastened
with the help of wrench.
