5. INSTALLATION OF THE GAS LINKAGE
Warning!!! The montage and service needs to be conducted by a qualified professional, a company or the gas
supplier.
5.1 Natural gas connection
First and foremost, make sure that the connecting device is designed to supply a gas suitable for the type placed in
the gas installation. All necessary information regarding the desired parameters of the gas are found on the rating
plate of the device. Before connecting the gas supply, it is necessary to blow them to remove any remaining metal
filings and other contaminants from inside. Automatic gas control system should be protected from moisture and dust.
These factors may cause irreparable damage to the individual components. The pipe supplying gas to the fireplace
should be equipped with a ball valve with a recommended diameter of 1/2 inch. The individual elements of the gas
installation cannot be sealed using Teflon tape or PTFE tape.
The gas valve on the gas pipe must be installed in accordance with applicable national regulations. Before connecting
the gas, make sure that the gas pipes and connections have no dirt. Gas connection is finished with external thread
3/8 ". Regarding gas connection, the following requirements shall apply:
• You must use the gas pipe with the correct dimensions, so there is no pressure loss.
• Ball gas valve should be installed in an easily accessible place and have the necessary CE mark.
5.2 Connection and replacement of the gas cylinder (LPG version)
The Galio Insert Manual is delivered together with an elastic gas linkage which, on one end is connected to the valve
of the device and on the other end to the 37mbar regulator (in the twist-on version) ready to be connected to the gas
cylinder. One needs to control the expiry date of both of the regulator as well as the gas linkage and if necessary (for
instance: broken, cut, scratched linkage) replace the components for new ones according to national standards and
norms.
The Galio Insert Manual fireplace can use metal or steel bottles or composite bottles filled with propane-butane gas
or propane gas. This device features a twist-on regulator with current pressure of 37mbar. It can be replaced into a
regulator with a quick-release with pressure regulator of 37 mbar.
WARNING!!! NEVER use an unstable gas connection or a regulator for other gas pressure.
Gas cylinders have two types of connectors:
•Twist-on connection: The most important thing is the black seal. Always check if the seal is present and that it
hasn't been damaged during the gas cylinder replacement. Some connections have a knob to fasten them in
place while others require the use of a wrench. Tighten securely (left thread). Using the tool pay attention not
to fasten the connection too tightly as this may damage the seal.
•Quick-release: For this type of connection no tool is required. On/off regulation of gas connection is made
through a switch on the regulator or on a special connector. In case of using a connector with a thread
