Gas connection

Note
With the spacer frame (Art. No 308 650), the
pipes can be fitted vertically upwards behind
the appliance. The distance of the appliance
from the wall thus increases by 65 mm.
Danger!
The gas connection may only be made by a
competent person.
The legal directives and the local regulations
for gas supply companies must be observed.
Caution!
Ensure a stress-relief assembly of the gas pipes
to avoid leakages!
Caution!
The gas regulating block may be tested for leak-
age only with a maximum pressure of 150 mbar!
Higher testing pressures can damage the gas
fitting.
Caution!
When making final connection to the boiler, if
using soldered fittings, extra care should be
taken to avoid damage to isolation valves
through heat transfer.
