5.1.3 Gas connection
Gas supply connection
•
Before the installation and connection to the gas supply carefully check the
permanent part of the gas device which should conform to the national building
regulations.
•
Check if the cross section of pipes assures sufficient supply for all gas-powered
devices. In order to avoid the excessive pressure losses install the device in the
similar conditions.
•
The pipelines must be made from steel pipes (with fittings from hardened cast iron
or galvanized steel, or pipes connected by gas welding), or from copper pipes (with
mechanical connections and connections without seals, putty or soldering).
•
Check if the gas cylinder (if applicable) is positioned and protected according to the
regulations in dry place.
•
Make sure that the gas pipelines are accessible for inspection. In case of pipelines
installed in the floor and walls make sure that they are installed professionally and
that there are the reference points allowing for finding the pipeline.
•
Before the installation of the gas wok cooker make sure that the device is
designed for gas and the pressure in the gas installation (see the rating plate on
the device and packaging). If the initial settings are inconsistent, the device must
be modified for a different type of gas (see section „Modification for a different
type of gas / required settings").
•
Connect the gas wok cooker to the gas installation with rigid or flexible steel pipes of
cross section appropriate for the rated power and length.
•
Make sure that the flexible pipes are not placed next to hot surfaces or directly on
them, are not pressed or loaded and do not touch the sharp edges or other objects
which may damage the pipes.
•
Install the easily accessible certified gas shut-off valve between the gas installation
and the device, to ensure that if necessary the gas supply could be quickly shut off.
•
After installation of the gas wok cooker perform the tightness test of the connections of
the pressurized gas installation using the spray for detection of leaks or other non-
corrosive foaming agent.
