Gas connection

Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance, as well as other gas
appliances in the building. The gas supply termination is inside the heater, and
enters from the rear of the appliance.
The length of the gas supply
termination is measured from
the front of the enclosure,
including the thickness of any
cladding material.
A ½ " BSP nut and a ½ " BSP
male flare x ½ barrel union
- elbow are provided for
connection to the gas supply.
They are shipped inside
the engine attached on the
gas inlet connection of the
heater.

the vertical centre line of
the heater enclosure.
2. To the right of the vertical
centre line, mark off both
the vertical and horizontal

penetration.
Purging gas supply
Foreign materials and debris
such as swarf, filings etc
must be purged from the
gas supply. Failure to do so
may cause damage to the
control valve causing it to
malfunction.
