ReliaGuard Installation Rights and Wrongs
WARNING
!
Upon completion, the ReliaGuard gas connector
MUST NOT BE
kinked, twisted, or torqued,
and the end fi tting of the connector
MUST NOT BE
subjected to sharp bends . The addition of
one or two Dormont SwivelGuard multi-plane swivels can assist in eliminating sharp bends and
kinks in your installation . Refer to the following “Rights and Wrongs” to assist in your installation .
ReliaGuard Gas Connector
Installation
RIGHTS & WRONGS
SHARP BENDS:
Install ReliaGuard gas
connector for vertical traverse with a single,
natural loop . Avoid sharp bends that strain
and twist the connector to a point of early
failure at the coupling .
Always install the ReliaGuard gas connec-
tor such that the end fittings are parallel
(never perpendicular) to both the wall and
appliance .
TWISTING:
Couplings and gas connector
should be installed in the same vertical
plane . Failure to do so causes torsional
twisting and undue strain, which will cause
premature failure .
FATIGUE:
Maintain the minimum or larger
bending diameter between the couplings
creates double bends causing work fatigue
at the fittings .
RESTRAINING CABLE:
Install the
restraining cable so that the connector is
not kinked when the restraining cable is
fully extended .

Minimum pull of
equipment away from
the wall is permissible
for accessibility to the
QD (where installed).
Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when
pulling equipment
away from the wall.
Maximum pull will
kink ends, even if
installed properly, and
reduce connector life.
