to be connected to Natural Gas then the pressure regulator
supplied must be fitted to the gas inlet. A test point (for
checking the gas pressure) is supplied either with the regulator
or as a separate fitting in the case of ULPG (propane)
appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in
accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP
connector at the inlet is recommended and the gas supply line
