The fitting (fig. 3) 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 3) has been
slackened (fig. 4).
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. 3) 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.
