MINIMUM CLEARANCE DISTANCES
2.4.1
Distances from combustible or flammable
materials
▶
Keep the appliance away from combustible or flam-
mable materials or components, in compliance with
applicable regulations.
2.4.2
Clearances around the appliance
The minimum clearance distances are required for
safety, operation and maintenance.
▶
The minimum recommended distance from the gas-
fired convector to the floor is 5 cm (Figure 1.1
and possibly not more than 35 cm, as higher heights
would result in uneven heat distribution in the heated
room.
▶
Keep a minimum clearance of 10 cm from the sides of
the gas-fired convector to any obstacles to allow for
removal and refitting of the casing.
▶
If a shelf is to be installed above the gas-fired convec-
tor, leave a minimum clearance of 10 cm. No cover of
any type may be installed over the appliance.

FUEL GAS SUPPLY
3.3.1
Gas connection
▶
3/8"
on the right, at the bottom.
▶
Install an anti-vibration connection between the ap-
pliance and the gas piping.
The connection to the gas mains must be made
using a rigid copper or steel pipe and fittings; alter-
natively, a flexible stainless steel pipe conforming
to the regulations in force may also be used.
The connection to the gas pipe must be properly
sealed to ensure tightness using a sealant that
complies with EN 751-1 and EN 751-2. The connec-
tion must be made in such a way that no strain is
produced in the pipe or gas-fired convector com-
ponents.
3.3.2
Mandatory shut-off valve
▶
Provide a gas shut-off valve (manual) on the gas supply
line, next to the appliance, to isolate it when required.
▶
Provide a three-piece pipe union.
▶
Perform connection in compliance with applicable
regulations.
3.3.3
Gas pipes sizing
The gas pipes must not cause excessive pressure drops
and, consequently, insufficient gas pressure for the
appliance.
3.3.4
Supply gas pressure
This appliance is equipped for a maximum gas
supply pressure of 50 mbar.
The appliance's gas supply pressure, both static and dy-
namic, must comply with Table 3.1
p. 10, with tolerance
± 15%.
Non compliant gas pressure (Table 3.1
may damage the appliance and be hazardous.
