Installation (Cont.)
Hose assembly
• The final gas connection shall be made using a flexible hose or annealed
copper tubing of sufficient length to permit the insertion and removal of the
appliance. For gas appliances connected using a flexible hose, install with
a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZ1869 (AGA approved), 10mm ID
class B or D, and in accordance with AS5601. This hose must not exceed
1.2m in length.
• Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate,
oven, dishwasher or any other appliance that may be installed underneath
or next to the cooktop. The hose should be positioned so that it does not
interfere with drawers or other moving parts, and so that it is not subjected
to abrasion, kinking, or permanent deformation. The hose should be able
to be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with the fittings
must be used and all connections must be tested.
• A restraining wire or chain of adequate strength is to be fixed to the
appliance and the wall within 50mm of each connection point. The
length of the chain or wire is not to exceed 80% of the length of the hose
assembly.
• It is recommended that a manual shut-off valve be installed in the gas
supply line, in an accessible position external to the appliance, so that the
gas supply to the appliance can be shut off in the event of an emergency or
for servicing without having to remove the appliance.
• For the connection of the electric cord and plug, the general purpose outlet
and switch must not be installed within the appliance recess and must be
readily accessible without having to remove the appliance.
