The fitting (fig. 5.1) is made up of:
– 1 nut "A"
– 1 elbow fitting "C"
– gasket "F"
Connection to the Gas Supply
–
Be careful when flexible pipes are used
that they do not come into contact with
moving parts.
–
To maintain the thickness of 3 cm, the
hob is fitted with a channel to contain
the connection pipe.
–
The gas inlet union can be turned in the
direction required after the elbow fitting
"C" and nut "A" connection (figure 5.1)
has been slackened (fig. 5.2).
–
Never put it in the horizontal or vertical
position.
–
Never attempt to turn the elbow "C"
without having first slackened off the
relative lock nut "A".
–
The gasket "F" (fig. 5.1) guarantees
the seal of the gas connection. It is
recommended that it be replaced
whenever it shows even the slightest
deformation or imperfection.
If installation is to be carried out using a
flexible connector (to BS669 or EN14800),
then the following points must be adhered to:
Note: The gas installation pipes and the final
connection to the appliance connecting pipe
shall be of a sufficient size to maintain the heat output of the appliance as specified on the
rating plate.
1.
The appliance flexible connector should not be subject to undue forces, either in
normal use whilst being connected or disconnected.
2.
The appliance flexible connector should not be subject to excessive heat by direct
exposure to flue products or by contact with hot surfaces.
3.
The socket into which the plug of the appliance flexible connector fits should be
permanently attached to a firmly fixed gas installation pipe and positioned such that
the hose hangs freely downwards in a natural loop and does not touch the floor.
4.
The appliance flexible connector should be positioned such that it will not suffer
mechanical damage; eg abrasion from the surrounding kitchen furniture which may
be moved in use, such as a door or drawer, or by being trapped by a stability device.
5.
The bayonet fitting should be accessible for disconnection after moving the appliance.
