Since service pressure may fluctuate with local
demand, every gas cooking appliance must be
equipped with a pressure regulator on the
incoming service line for safe and efficient
operation.
The pressure regulator shipped with the
appliance has has two female threads ½” NPT.
The regulator shall be installed

The appliance, its individual shut‐off valve, and
the pressure regulator must be disconnected
from the gas line during any pressure testing of
that system
at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.45kPa).
The individuaL manual shut‐off valve must be in
the OFF position during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures
