Instructions for the installer

11.3.1 Connection with a rubber hose

WARNING: The following instructions are valid solely for Class 1

installations. See fig. C in chapter “11.1 Installing in kitchen units”.

Connection using a rubber hose complying with current standards is only

permitted if the hose can be inspected along its entire length.

The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LPG GAS and 13 mm for

NATURAL GAS and CITY GAS.

Installation with a standards-compliant rubber hose must be

carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1.5

metres; make sure that the hose does not come into contact with

moving parts and that it is not crushed in any way.

Verify that all following conditions are met:

• the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;

• no part of the hose is in contact with hot walls (max. 50°C);

• the hose is not under traction or tension and has no kinks or

twists;

• the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners;

• if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try to

repair it: verify that the hose is not past its expiry date

(serigraphed on the hose itself).

Make the connection to the gas mains using a rubber

hose whose specifications comply with current

standards (verify that the reference standard is

stamped on the hose).

Carefully screw the hose connector 3 to the

appliance’s gas connector 1 (1/2” thread ISO 228-1),

placing the seal 2 between them. The hose connector

4 can also be screwed to the hose connector 3,

depending on the diameter of the gas hose used. After having tightened the

hose connector(s), push the gas hose 6 onto the hose connector and secure it

with the clamp 5 that is compliant with the applicable standard.
