Gas connection
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as other appliances in the
premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for the total gas rate. An approved
sizing chart such as the one in NZS:5261 should be used.
Copper supply should be run leaving a flared connection at the position shown. The gas
supply terminates inside the heater and enters the appliance from the rear. As this is a flare
connection, sealant is not recommended.

Purge supply of air and debris
All foreign materials such as filings must be purged from the gas supply, as they may cause
the gas control valve to malfunction.
Fit heater into place
When the heater is in place and properly secured, attach the gas supply to the supplied barrel
union and tighten.
On completion of work a gas leak test must be carried out. Use a soapy solution on all gas
connections. Leaks will be visible when the soapy solution forms bubbles. When finished, wipe
soapy solution with a rag to remove residue.
