Installation
RIGHTS & WRONGS
SHARP BENDS:
Install Blue Hose gas
connector for vertical traverse with a single,
natural loop . Avoid sharp bends that strain
and twist the connector to a point of early
failure at the coupling .
Always install the Blue Hose gas connec-
tor such that the end fittings are parallel
(never perpendicular) to both the wall and
appliance .
TWISTING:
Couplings and gas connector
should be installed in the same vertical
plane . Failure to do so causes torsional
twisting and undue strain, which will cause
premature failure .
FATIGUE:
Maintain the minimum or larger
bending diameter between the couplings
creates double bends causing work fatigue
at the fittings .
SELF-DRAINING:
In all installations where
“self-draining” is not necessary, connect
the gas connector in a vertical loop . Do
not connect the gas connector horizontally
unless “self-draining” is necessary, in which
case support on the lower plane should
be used and the use of one or two Swivel
Max swivels is recommended .

Minimum pull of
equipment away from
the wall is permissible
for accessibility to the
Safety Quik
®
combi-
nation valve and QD
(where installed).
Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when
pulling equipment
away from the wall.
Maximum pull will
kink ends, even if
installed properly, and
reduce connector life.
