The manifold pipe is used to distribute gas to the top
burner valves, oven and broil burners and the griddle.
The top burner valves are clamped to the manifold pipe
and control gas ow to the main burner head orice and
the gas to the simmer burner.
The valve is mounted to the manifold pipe so that the
hole in the bottom of the valve is aligned with the hole of
the manifold. This allows gas to enter into the valve.
There are two holes in the valve case. One that leads
to the hole in the valve core that supplies that supplies
the main gas to the top burner and one that leads to
the channel in the valve core that supplies gas to the
simmer and the minimum ame orices.

Gas ow
The incoming gas ow is connected to a pressure regu-
lator, which is mounted to the rear of the range.
A pressure regulator is a device that maintains a con-
stant xed output pressure, by increasing or decreasing
the gas ow in the range to match the output of the
burners. The range is designed to operate on natural
gas, only. The output of the regulator is set for 5 inches
of water column pressure.
The pressure regulator is connected to a 1/2” pipe,
which in turn is connected to the manifold pipe.
