Installation
N°1 example – Gaz installation - VMC
To connec to a VMC installation, the flexible pipe is splined directly into the VMC air extract unit
N°1 example –installation natural drawing
To connect to a chimney installation, it’s needed to add an accessory spigot. It must be fully nested within the pipe.
Legal advice :
Be careful, white flexible pipes with hose connection used for gas cookers are forbidden – change them with gas flexible pipes to be screwed, which is more secure.
For maximum of safety, the gas flexible pipe must be installed with a self-closing integrated tap, since 1st July 1997.
