Characteristics Of The Gas Installation; Gas Supply Connection - GIRBAU ED460 Installation Instructions Manual

5.3.1. Characteristics of the gas installation

See the Technical and Connection details for the machine for the corresponding model (Chapter 4) for
values regarding connection pressure, power consumption, and the diameter and position of the connection.
General installation requirements
VERY IMPORTANT!
In all operating conditions, the gas supply pressure at the dryer's inlet must never be less than the specified
minimum pressure.
In order to ensure the supply pressure indicated, both at the input of the regulator and the input of the machine,
it is recommended to:
 Install a pressure regulator capable of supplying the required flow, and fit a pressure gauge to the
regulator inlet and outlet.
 Ensure that the gas conducting pipe is of a sufficient size.
 Avoid the use of flexible joints where possible.
 As protection for the burner, it is recommended to install a device to protect against excess pressure.

minimum pressure.
In order to ensure the supply pressure indicated, both at the input of the regulator and the input of the machine,
it is recommended to:
 Install the supplied pressure regulator (certified according to AGA specs.) capable of supplying the
required flow, and fit a pressure gauge to the regulator inlet and outlet test points and located on the
combination control.
 Ensure that the gas conducting pipe is of a sufficient size.
 Avoid the use of flexible joints where possible.
 As protection for the burner, it is recommended to install a device to protect against excess pressure.

5.3.2. Gas supply connection

The connection should be made at the input to the solenoid ducting, located at the rear of the machine (Fig.
4.1).
The machine intake connection pipe must meet the following specifications:
BSP thread
DANGER!
MAKE SURE THE OPERATING PRESSURE IS ALWAYS CORRECT. AN INCORRECT PRESSURE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY IN SUCH CASES.
