Gas Supply
4.1
Prior to commencement of the installation, establish that an adequate supply of gas is available.
If necessary consult the gas supplier. Any new or existing gas pipe work should be checked for
sufficient size to carry the demand of this appliance and the demand of other appliances
installed. To prevent unacceptable pressure losses, no more than 1.5m of 8mm pipe should be
used.
4.2
Decide on the gas supply route to be taken up to the appliance location. (Fig 2)
4.3
Before carrying out any work on existing or new pipe work, ensure that the supply is isolated
and disconnected and plug any ends to prevent the entry of debris or the risk of the gas supply
being restored.
4.4
A concealed gas supply route is required for this appliance. (See Fig 2)
4.5
If the gas pipe passes through a wall, cavity or un-vented void then there should be no joins in
this area and the pipes should be fully sleeved. Before pushing gas pipes through walls, seal the
pipe ends to prevent debris entering the pipes.
4.6
An isolating valve must be situated near to the appliance for ease of servicing or in the event of
a gas leak. The appliance gas inlet connection is only suitable for 8 mm diameter pipe with a
compression fitting. In the event of a gas leak the appliance must be turned off at the nearest
isolating valve.
4.7
Before connecting the appliance fully purge all pipe work. CAUTION: before purging open all
doors and windows, extinguish all cigarettes and any other naked lights.
4.8
Before restoring the gas supply, fully check the system for gas tightness using an approved
pressure drop test method and suitable leak detection fluid.
