INSTALLATION

WARNING

Take care that installer is a trained experienced
service man.

Turn off gas supply before starting installation.

Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock
and/or equipment damage.
Mounting position
The gas valve can be mounted plus or minus 90 degrees from
the vertical.
Mounting location
The distance between the gas valve and the wall/ground, must
be at least 30 cm.
WARNING

The outlet of a pressure relief valve (VE4000S series)
must always be connected to open atmosphere.
Main gas connection threaded valves

Take care that dirt cannot enter the gas valve during
handling.

Ensure the gas flows in the same direction as the arrow
on the housing of the gas valve.

Use a sound taper fitting with thread according to ISO 7-1
(BS 21, DIN2999) or a piece of new, properly reamed
pipe, free from swarf

Do not thread or tighten the pipe or pipe fitting too far.
Otherwise valve distortion and malfunction could result.

Apply a moderate amount of good quality thread
compound to the pipe or fitting only, leaving the two end
threads bare. PTFE tape may be used as an alternative.

In order to tighten the pipe in the valve, do not use the
actuator as a lever but use a suitable wrench operating on
the wrench bosses.
Main gas connection flanged valves

Take care that dirt cannot enter the gas valve during
handling.

Ensure the gas flows in the same direction as the arrow
on the housing of the gas valve.

Ensure that inlet and outlet flanges are in line and
separated from each other enough to allow the valve to be
mounted between them without damaging the gasket.

Place gasket. If necessary grease it slightly to keep it in
place.

Mount gas valve between flanges using the bolts for each
flange.
WARNING
Tightness test after installation

Paint all pipe connections and gaskets with a strong
soap and water solution..

Start the appliance and check for bubbles. If a leak is
found in a pipe connection, remake the joint. A gasket
leak can usually be stopped by tightening the
mounting screws. Otherwise, replace the gas valve.
