Gas Supply
The local gas authority should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to establish the availability
of an adequate supply of gas and to ensure that the meter is adequate for the required flow rate. The pipe work
from the meter to the appliance must be an appropriate size.
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of
isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing. A union or similar means of disconnection must
be provided between the gas-cock and the appliance.
A manually operable valve must be fitted to the gas supply to the kitchen to enable it to be isolated in an
emergency. Wherever practical, this shall be located either outside the kitchen or near an exit in a readily
accessible position.
Where it is not practical to do this, an automatic isolation valve system should be fitted which can be operated
from a readily accessible position near the exit.
In locations where the manual isolation valve is fitted or the automatic system can be reset this notice must be
posted:
“ALL DOWNSTREAM BURNER AND PILOT VALVES MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO
ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE THE SUPPLY. AFTER EXTENDED SHUT OFF, PURGE
BEFORE RESTORING GAS”
NOTE: Before assembly and connection, check gas supply.
