Connect the Range to the Gas Supply
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old range and leave it off until
the new hookup has been completed. Don’t forget
to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of
the range, the use of a CSA International-
certifi ed fl exible metal appliance connector is
recommended unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made. To prevent gas leaks,
put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread
tape with Tefl on* around, all male (external) pipe
threads.

A Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the
gas line in an easily accessed location outside
of the range. Make sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
B Install male ½’’ fl are union adapter to the ½’’
NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fi tting
to avoid damage. When installing the range
from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier
installation.
C Install male ½’’ or 3/4’’ fl are union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve,
taking care to backup the shut-off valve to keep
it from turning.
D Connect fl exible metal appliance connector
to the adapter on the range. Position range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
E When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a
liquid leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks in the system. Use a product
specifi cally manufactured for leak detection.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig
(3.5kPa) to pressure test the gas supply system of
the residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of ½ psig (3.5kPa) or less to
test the gas supply system, simply isolate the
range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
Flexible Connector
Installer: Inform the consumer of the location of the
gas shut-off valve.
