TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

1/ Connection of pipes and fittings

Where 1/8" GAS rigid pipes or hoses are used in connections between pipes and fittings
(diameter of approximately 9.7 mm), carefully respect the pipe dimensions. Pipes of a lower
diameter do not guarantee a pressure/vacuum seal. Pipes with a higher diameter,
conversely, have to be forced into their housing and this adversely affects installation of
retaining rings (3 and 4) for a poorer seal.
When working on fittings that are already installed, always replace retaining rings (3 and 4)
65-AC and 65-AA with equivalent new parts. When installing, ensure that the end of pipe (1)
fully enters the housing of fitting (5) to ensure maximum grip. If a flexible tube is used, tighten
pipe collar (2) thoroughly by hand. If a rigid pipe is used, tighten ring (2) using a wrench.

2/ Length of connection pipes between
valve and lower distribution system
The connection pipe must be cut between 12 to 17
mm, measured from the upper edge of the tank.
Remove the sharp edges (1 mm x 45°) to avoid
damage to the seal during installation. See
drawing below.
NOTE: The connection pipe between valve and
lower distribution system is ISO PN 6 standard.
Minimum height 12 mm
Maximum height 17 mm
Chamfer 1 mm x 45°
