Regency F38-LPG2 Gas Connection, Gas Pipe Pressure Testing, Installation, Flueing Requirements

INSTALLATION

Flueing Requirements

A100 mm diameter flue is required. For cosmetic or aesthetic purposes 6" outer flue can be used as long as an approved inner flue is installed. Fasten but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of the flue when tightening the screw.

The minimum flue required is 3.3m from floor level.

Follow all flueing manufacturer’s requirements and local building codes or AS5601-2004.

GAS CONNECTION

The gas line should be rigid pipe. Copper may also be used if approved by AS5601-2004.

The gas connection at the valve is 1/2 male. For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data Table.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE

TESTING

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold pressures should be checked using the valve pressure ports on the valve.

1)Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" posi- tion.

2)Loosen the "IN" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6) pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide flat screwdriver.

3)Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4)Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.

5)The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specified on the safety label.

6)When finished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flat screwdriver. Screw should be snug, but do not over tighten.
