Connection

Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.

The connection should be suitable for connecting to RC 1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread). When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and installation using leak detection fluid.

Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert any stain on the hob.

It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the hob connecting pipe.

Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.
