Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This gas supply hose installation kit is designed to be universal, fitting all makes and models of oven and cooker that use a standard 1/2 inch gas connection. The straight bayonet end connector is designed to fit standard gas appliance inlets.
Setup:
- Safety First: Ensure the main gas supply to the appliance is turned OFF before starting.
- Connections: Attach the appropriate connector (straight bayonet or angled pipe joint) to your appliance's gas inlet and the wall gas outlet. Use the provided PTFE tape on all threaded connections to ensure a secure, gas-tight seal.
- Hose Attachment: Connect the gas hose securely to both the appliance and the wall outlet.
- Safety Chain: Attach the gas safety chain from the appliance to a secure point, such as a wall fixing or a heavy fixture, to prevent the appliance from being pulled forward.
- Leak Check: After installation, turn the main gas supply back on and check *all* connections for leaks using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak that needs to be resealed.
- Professional Advice: If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified gas engineer or follow your appliance manufacturer's specific installation guidelines.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage, cracking, or wear.
- Keep the area around the gas connection clean and free from debris.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the hose or connectors.
