WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.
The system must meet all applicable local, national,
and regional regulations. Improper installation may
cause gas leaks, explosions, property damage, and
injuries.
!
WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.
To prevent leakage of upstream gas, shut off the gas
supply at the main manual shutoff valve before
installing or servicing the BGC278 valve. Failure to
shut off the gas supply can result in the release of
gas during installation or servicing, which can lead to
an explosion or fire, and may result in severe
personal injury or death.
Mounting
!
CAUTION: Risk of Equipment Damage. To
prevent damage to the valve when mounting to
pipework, do not use a wrench on any surface other
than the casting flats provided at the inlet and outlet
ends of the valve body.
To install the BGC278 valve:
1. Ensure that the specified maximum ambient
(surface) temperature is not exceeded (see the
Technical Data section).
2. Ensure that the power supply voltage is compatible
with the required control valve voltage.
3. When installing the valve on the manifold, ensure
that the gas flows through the valve body in the
direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
If the valve is installed with the gas flow in the
opposite direction of the arrow, leakage can occur.
4. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.
5. Mount the valve to the pipework. The BGC278
valve may be mounted on a horizontal manifold
with the solenoid coils pointed up (vertical) or in any
position not exceeding 90
° from the vertical. The
valve also may be mounted on a vertical manifold
in any position around its axis (see Figure 1). Do
not install the solenoid coil upside down. Install
vertically wherever possible.
90° Maximum
from Vertical 90° Maximum
from Vertical
Limited Horizontal and Vertical
Vertical mounting may
be 360º around its axis
with the gas flow either
up or down, but always in
the direction of the arrow.
