Key Points to Consider in Caravan Gas Systems
- Gas hoses should be replaced every two years. - The regulator must be replaced at least every 5 years. Critical Security Alert
For the safe operation of your RV's LPG system, it is very important that the gas cylinder and regulator are connected correctly. Please follow the steps below: 1. Before Installing the Gas Cylinder - Place the gas cylinder in a flat, cool, enclosed space designated solely for this purpose. - There should be no devices, electrical cables, or heat sources around the gas cylinder that could produce sparks. - Make sure there is no dust, oil, or dirt around the valve of the gas cylinder. 2. Regulator Connection - Ensure that the diaphragm used is compatible with the gas cylinder type and has not expired. - Tighten the gas cylinder valve by hand; do not use pliers or a wrench. - Check the gasket before connecting the regulator; if it is worn, do not use it under any circumstances. 3. Hose and Clamp Inspection - Ensure there are no cracks, hardening, or cuts on the gas hose. - Stainless steel clamps should be used at the hose connection points, and there should be no looseness. - Make sure the hose does not rub against metal edges or bend inside the caravan. 4. Initial Opening and Leak Check - Slowly open the gas cylinder valve. - Perform a soap bubble test: apply soap foam to the connection points; if bubbles form, it means there is a gas leak and you should not use it. - Never use a lighter, matches, or fire to check for leaks. 5. During Use The gas cylinder must be in an upright position and secured so that it does not sway. The gas valve must be closed while the caravan is in motion. If you smell gas:
1. 8 mm steel gas pipe 2. 1/2 – 12 mm yellow coupling / connec tion fitting 3. Gasket nut 4. Nipple / Tip nozzle 5. Connection cap / Connector 6. Fitting / Connection piece 7. High-pressure hose 1. Gas cylinder 2. High-pressure connection hose 3. Gas filter 4. Gas regulator (low pressure 30mbar)w
5. Copper hose connections 6. Gas distribution manifold 7. Copper gas line
- Close all the valves immediately. - Do not touch any electrical buttons. - Open the windows to ventilate - Do not use the system until the source of the leak is found.
If you have any doubts about the system, contact an authorized service center.
