GAS REQUIREMENTS
Natural Gas requirements
• The enclosure must be constructed so that access
can be gained to the Natural Gas regulator at all times.
• For pipe sizing requirements for supply pipe refer
to AS5601.
Universal LPG requirements
• If an LPG bottle is to be stored in the enclosure under
the burner unit, it must be isolated from the burner unit
with a non-combustible panel. The enclosure must
comply with the requirements of AS5601.
• AS5601 ventilation requirements for cylinder storage
are:
– Where of sheet metal or similar impervious
construction there shall be ventilation openings
at the top and bottom of the enclosure or recess,
each opening providing a free area of at least
200cm
2
for every cylinder enclosed.
• For ULPG installations having enclosed cabinetry
below the separation panel that does not contain a
gas bottle, low level venting must be installed. This is
to allow the gas which is heavier than air escape from
the enclosure in the situation where there may be a
leak. A minimum opening of 200cm
2
is required.
LOCATING INTEGRATED BURNER
ADJACENT TO INTEGRATED BARBECUE
When installing integrated burner with the integrated
barbecue, ventilation to the side burner can be achieved
from one common vent (as shown above). Provided there
is no restriction of airflow in the enclosure construction (i.e.
no separation panel between barbecue and side burner).
A minimum clearance of 80mm (as shown on page 12)
must be observed. This prevents heat transfer
between units.
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for construction
requirements of specific bench top materials.
