4. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the smaller
thread ends of the flexible connector adapters.
5. Attach male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at the
regulator inlet with a wrench using no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque. Use a
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
NOTE:
• Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight.
Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and
possible fire or explosion.
6. Attach male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of
the manual shut-off valve with a wrench using no more than 15 ft-lbs of
torque, being certain not to move or turn the shut-off valve.
7. Replace the regulator cover if it was previously removed.
8. Connect one end of flexible gas supply line connector to the flare union
adapter on the range.
9. Position range near the installation space to permit flexible gas supply
line connection at the shut-off valve, and connect other end of flexible
gas supply line connector to the flare union adapter at the shut-off valve.
Check that flexible gas supply line is not kinked, and use wrenches to
tighten flexible gas supply line connections.
TYPICAL RIGID PIPE CONNECTION
Since the range must be pulled away from the installation space to provide
access to the gas regulator connections, and because hard piping restricts
movement of the range, the range can only be installed using a CSA
International-certified flexible metal appliance connector.
If local codes require a hard-piped connection, a combination of pipe fittings
must be used to connect the range to the existing gas line and maintain an
accessible working space behind the range. Hard-piped connections vary
according to the supply line type, size and location. Consult with a qualified
local technician for an optimal connection suitable for your installation.
