Gas Information

A. Gas Pressure Requirements

Pressure requirements for VRTIKL-AU Stoves are shown in Table 1 below.

Two taps are provided on the right hand side of the gas control for a test gauge connection to measure the inlet and outlet pressures. See Section 10: Maintaining and Servicing the Appliance.

The stove and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 60 mbar.

If the stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing an individual shut-off valve, it must be of the handle-less type.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Hazard. High pressure will damage valve.

• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 6 kPa.

• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 6kPa..

Table 1

B. Gas Connection

Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with

local building codes by a qualiﬁ ed installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.

Note: Before the ﬁ rst ﬁ ring of the stove, the gas supply line should be purged of any trapped air.

Leak test all gas line points and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the gas stove.

WARNING

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS Explosion Risk Fire Risk Asphyxiation Risk

• Check all ﬁ ttings and connections.

• Do not use open ﬂ ame.

• After the gas line installation is complete, all connections must be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check solution following testing.

Fittings and connections may have loosened during shipping and handling.
