6.5.3. GAS SYSTEM
NOTE !
All gas appliances provided in caravans are designed to burn a mixture of
propane-butane gas at a pressure of 30mbar, that is why the reducer must
be adjusted to such pressure to ensure proper operation of these
appliances.
6.5.3.1. INSTALLATION OF GAS
Rules for the installation of gas cylinders.
Fig. 8. Gas installation diagram.
Before starting any of the devices, connect the gas cylinder (1) (not supplied) to
the system through a reducer (3)
(the valves (5) in the kitchen cabinet
– if present –should be closed at this time).
After connecting the cylinder and checking for leaks, unscrew the appropriate
valve in the kitchen cabinet (5) depending on which appliance you want to use.
1.
Place the gas cylinder in the special basket inside the container and then
secure it to the container with rubber strips or belts.
2.
If there is a warranty seal on the cylinder valve, remove it by making a slight
cut and tearing it off.
3.
The reducer connection on the valve has a
left-hand thread.
Use a 27mm
wrench to loosen the plastic cap
and turn it
right (clockwise). Tighten the
reducer cap by turning it counterclockwise.
NOTE !
Before removing the plastic nut located on the terminal of the reducer
(on the cylinder valve), check if the cylinder valve is closed.
It is recommended that the gas cylinder be connected by a person who
has a qualification certificate authorising gas works
Rules for checking the tightness of the connection.
1. All connections should be checked for leaks each time a cylinder
is connected to the reducer. For this purpose, lubricate the hose
connection points, the valve and the connection between the
valve and the reducer with soapy water or spray it with a soapy
substance and then open the valve. The absence of expanding
gas bubbles indicates that the system is free of leaks.
