Connection to the previously installed shut-off valve must be made using a flexible hose with screwable
connectors, approved.
The characteristics of this hose must be tailored to the nature and distribution mode of the gas used, as
well as to the diameter of the connection used.
The hose must not pass behind, in front of or close to a hot air outlet. It must be put down so as not to be
reachable by flames. It must not be crushed or kinked, and must be put down so as to avoid all pulling
stress.
The hose must be firmly attached at both ends, and it must be possible to inspect the complete hose
length. Moreover, the hose should be replaced by the user whenever required and, in all cases, before the
maximum use date given on the hose.
Recommended use: metallic flexible hose (stainless steel surrounded by metallic braids) with
screwable connectors, without any lifetime end date.
Regardless of the gas used, it is forbidden to connect our gas appliances with flexible hoses mounted on
rubber tail pieces.
Screw the gas hose at the end of the appliance tubing, tightening it only by hand. Place two appropriate
tools (one on the tubing to keep it from moving, and the other on the hose coupling) and tighten the
coupling on the hose. Assemble the hose so that the hose is left hanging in a "U" form.
When the connection is terminated, perform a pressure test to check the sealing of the appliance. When
checking the sealing, make sure not to use washing-up liquid, which could damage the appliance; instead,
use a foam liquid specially intended to detect leaks.
Sealing must be ensured by tightening 2 sealing surfaces beyond the threading with an appropriate sealing
joint between them. To ensure the correct level of sealing along the threading, a sealing compound or
joining compound should be applied to the threading.
If a sealing compound has to be used, we recommend
LOCTITE 577
The appliance is delivered with a threaded coupling.
The cylindrical external threading has a gas thread of
"G ½ A", in accordance with the EN ISO 228-1:2003
standard. This type of connection is used in France and
some European countries.
If you use an "R ½" external conic coupling in
accordance with the EN 10226-1:2004 and EN 10226-
2:2005 standards or an "Rp ½" internal cylindrical
coupling as per the EN 10226- 1:2004 standard, then
unscrew the adapter on the appliance and either turn it
around, or connect your hose directly to the end of the
tubing.
