steel pipes, to avoid any stress to the unit. Gas
feeding pipe fitting is Gc 1/2. For this type of
installation, connection to the gas supply should be
carried out using only and exclusively flexible metallic
tubes in conformity with rules in force.
Connection using flexible non metal pipes
When the connection can be easily inspected in
its full extent, there is the chance to use a flexible pipe
according to the rules in force. The flexible pipe must
be tightly fixed using clamps according to the rules in
force.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for use
in such a way that:
- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other than
room temperature, higher than 30°C; if the flexible
pipe, to reach the cock, must run behind the range,
it must be installed as shown in the diagram;
- it is no longer than 1500 mm;
- it shows no throttles;
- it is not subject to traction or torsion;
- it does not get in touch with cutting edges or
corners;
- it can be easily inspected in order to check its
condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible pipe
consists in checking that:
- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings
both on the end parts and on its full extent;
- the material is not hardened, but shows its normal
elasticity;
- the fastening clamps are not rusted;
- expiry term is not due.
If one or more abnormalities are seen, do not
repair the pipe, but replace it.
IMPORTANT
Once installation is complete, check the perfect
seal of every pipe fitting, using a soapy solution,
never a flame.
