The Vaillant ecoTEC exclusive is supplied for use with
natural gas G20 and can only be converted to the use
of propane gas G31 by the Vaillant service engineer or
a suitably qualified (CORGI registered) installer.
The gas connection is to be via 20 mm Ø steel piping.
The dynamic gas connection pressure must be at least
17-25 mbar for natural gas and 37 mbar for propane gas.
• The gas pipe should first be cleaned by blowing out
with compressed air. This prevents damage to the
appliance.
• Connect the compression gas service cock and 15 mm
copper outlet tail as supplied with the appliance and
tighten.
• Connect a gas supply pipe of not less than 15 mm
diameter to the copper tail.
• Tighten all connections.
(Ensure the gas supply pipework is adequately sized
such that a 20 mbar gas pressure is available at the
boiler inlet at full flow rate).
