Connecting the MiniVap

 

 

 

Check gas supply is within system requirements 

 

Connect gas supply using 6mm connector.  If a different fitting is required; remove the 
existing push-fit adapter using two spanners (one to remove the fitting, the other to constrain 

  rotation of the bulkhead fitting.  Alternative adapters will require a ¼” BSP thread. 

 

MiniVap runs on Dual Voltage main supply 115/230V.
