GAS CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
7. GAS CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Gas Supply Connection
WARNING: This appliance must be installed according to the installation requirements of the local gas authority and
the appropriate installation code issued (within Australia) by the A.L.P.G.A and A.G.A (reference code
AS5601) and the building authorities requirements and any other applicable requirements.
1. Check the gas type of the appliance which is identified by a sticker, attached to the appliance.
2. Ensure the location of the gas supply and routing of the gas line is appropriate for the appliance (see installation
diagrams for gas connection location details).
3. Ensure that the supply connection point will be accessible when the appliance is installed.
4. Use of a hose assembly must comply with AS5601. This appliance is certified for installation using AS/NZS
1869 Class B 10mm 7 kPa WP hose. Maximum length is not to exceed 1.2m.
5. A restraining wire or chain of adequate strength is to be fixed to the appliance and the wall within 50mm of
each connection point. The length of the chain or wire is not to exceed 80% of the length of the hose assembly.
6. It is recommended that a manual shut-off valve be installed in the gas supply line, in an accessible position
external to the appliance, such that the gas supply to the appliance can be shut off in the event of an emergency
or for servicing without having to remove the appliance.
7. For LPG models, the gas supply for the appliance must be regulated to a pressure of 2.75 kPa (11
″
W.G.).
The gas inlet is fitted with an adaptor incorporating a pressure test point and has a 1 / 2
″
female BSP thread.
For Natural Gas models, the gas supply is connected to the regulator supplied with the appliance, which has
a
1 / 2
″
female BSP thread. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE REGULATOR ON THE APPLIANCE BE HELD FIRMLY
WITH A SPANNER WHEN CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. THE REGULATOR MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO APPLIANCE OR THE GAS SUPPLY WITHOUT THREAD SEALANT/
LUBRICATION AS DRY CONNECTION MAY PERMANENTLY BIND THREADS.
The regulated pressure for Natural Gas is 1.0 kPa (4
″
W.G.).
8. After installing the gas supply and making all connections, the supply line connections must be checked for
possible leaks. With all controls of the appliance in the off position, open the gas supply valve and using a
soap and water solution check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection.
The formation of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks. If it is not possible to
correct the leak by tightening, replace the fitting. Matches or lighters must never be used to check
for leaks.
