Using It on the Job

1. Safety First: Before you touch anything, shut off the gas supply at the meter and isolate electrical power to the heater. Tag out your lockout.
2. Access: Carefully remove the heater's access panels to expose the existing gas valve.
3. Disconnect: Disconnect all electrical wiring and gas pipe connections from the old valve. Be ready for any residual gas in the line.
4. Install New Valve: Mount the new Brivis Honeywell gas valve in place, ensuring all mounting screws are secure.
5. Reconnect: Reconnect gas pipes, using new thread sealant appropriate for natural gas. Connect all electrical wiring, double-checking the wiring diagram.
6. Leak Test & Test Run: Restore gas and electrical supply. Perform a thorough gas leak test using an approved leak detection solution. Then, cycle the heater through its operation to confirm proper function.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• This valve is for Natural Gas systems only. Do not attempt to use on LPG systems without proper conversion and certification.
• Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with Australian standards and local regulations.
• Always ensure gas and electrical supplies are isolated and locked out before commencing work.
• Double-check the part number against your existing valve or heater manual to ensure compatibility.

Tradie Pro Tip: Always double-check your connections for leaks with an approved gas leak detector solution after fitting a new gas valve. Even a tiny weep can turn into a big problem, and safety is paramount on any gas job.
