11.3.1 Connection with a rubber hose

WARNING: The following instructions are valid solely for Class 1
installations. See fig. C in chapter “11.1 Installing in kitchen units”.

Connection using a rubber hose complying with current standards is only
permitted if the hose can be inspected along its entire length.

The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LPG GAS and 13 mm for
NATURAL GAS and CITY GAS.

Installation with a standards-compliant rubber hose must be
carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1.5
metres; make sure that the hose does not come into contact with
moving parts and that it is not crushed in any way.
Verify that all following conditions are met:

•  the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;
•  no part of the hose is in contact with hot walls (max. 50°C);
•  the hose is not under traction or tension and has no kinks or

twists; 

•  the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners; 
•  if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, 

do not try to

repair it

: verify that the hose is not past its expiry date

(serigraphed on the hose itself).

Make the connection to the gas mains using a rubber
hose whose specifications comply with current
standards (verify that the reference standard is
stamped on the hose).
Carefully screw the hose connector 

3 

to the

appliance’s gas connector 

1 

(1/2” thread ISO 228-1),

placing the seal 

2 

between them. The hose connector

4 

can also be screwed to the hose connector 

3

,

depending on the diameter of the gas hose used. After having tightened the
hose connector(s), push the gas hose 

6 

onto the hose connector and secure it

with the clamp 

5

 that is compliant with the applicable standard.
