Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve (not supplied)
2. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
4. flexible connector (not supplied)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
6. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
7. pressure regulator (supplied)
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be
1/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff
valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow
sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.
NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range. To visually check,
remove the range drawer.
Shutoff Valve -
Open position
Figure 11
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If
a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and
use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to
check for leaks.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be
installed must be sealed.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"(35,56 cm) water column).
Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or
14"(35,56 cm) water column).
