D. Gas Piping
Each section of the 6/13-G Series Ovens (standard depth) is
rated at 40,000 BTU’s per hour (11.7 kW) or (deep depth)
46,000 BTU’s per hour (13.5 kW). Therefore, 38-40
(standard), 44-46 (deep) cubic feet of natural gas or 16
(standard), 18.4 (deep) cubic feet of propane gas per hour
must be supplied to each unit (stacked units count as two)
when the oven is full on. In order to achieve the degree of
performance for which the unit has been designed, the
overall piping plan of the kitchen, properly sized, is
essential. The installation of this oven must conform with all
local codes, or in the absence of any local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-1988 and ANSI Z 223.1-
1988.
Your local gas supplier should consult the National Fuel Gas
Code for proper sizing and installation of gas piping.
Generally, piping should be sized to provide a gas supply
sufficient to meet the maximum demand of all gas
appliances on a line without undue loss of pressure at the
outlet to the equipment. The total BTU requirements of the
equipment being served and the length of the piping from the
meter to the appliances are major considerations in the
proper design of the gas supply system.
This oven has been tested and certified for use on gas
systems which do not exceed 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa) of pressure.
If the piping system is tested at a pressure higher than 1/2 psi
(3.45 kPa), this oven should be isolated from the supply by
disconnecting it. If the piping system is tested at a pressure
lower than or equal to 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa), this oven should be
isolated from the supply by shutting off the manual shut off
valve located on the front panel.
