SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

GAS SUPPLY

Gas pipe sizing MUST consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances
in the premises. The gas meter and regulator MUST be specified for the total gas rate.
WARNING
A suitable sizing chart such as the one in AS/NZS 5601 should be used.
The use of rubber hose for any gas connection to a fixed appliance is NOT authorised by the
manufacturer.
Confirm correct gas type (see labels located on top or rear panels). Refer to local gas authority
for confirmation of gas type if you are in doubt.
IMPORTANT

Installation of Consumer Piping

The gas supply (consumer piping), termination is inside the heater and enters
through the rear of the appliance.
Refer to the dimensional drawings on page 34 for appliance gas inlet location
and other relevant dimensions.
Mark off the location for the vertical centre line ( 1 ) of the heater enclosure (inbuilt
installations) or heater (freestanding installations).
To the right of the vertical centre line ( 1 ) , mark off both the vertical ( 2 ) and
horizontal ( 3 ) location for the gas supply penetration (consumer piping). For
measurements refer to the Gas Supply Dimension Table below.
The length of the gas supply (consumer piping) termination ( 4 ) is measured from
the front of the enclosure.

Once the consumer piping has been terminated to the above requirements the supplied flexible gas connection
( 5 ) may then be fitted.

Purging Gas Supply

Foreign materials and debris such as swarf, filings, etc. MUST be purged/removed from the gas supply, failure to
do so may cause damage to the gas control valve causing it to malfunction.

Leak Testing the Connection

With the supplied plug inserted into the end of the flexible gas connection leak test all joints.
Use a soapy solution to test all gas connections. If a leak is present bubbles will form at the leak
point. When finished remove any residue with a rag. Prevent any soapy solution from coming in
contact with electrical components.
