GAS CONNECTIONS
This appliance must be installed by an approved installer or a gas technician
1. The installation of this appliance must conform with all applicable local codes. In the absence of local
codes, the installation must conform to the latest level of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA B149.1
and B149.2.
Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA B149.1
and B149.2.
2. Maximum gas must not exceed 14 inches water column (wc) or 1/2 psi.
3. This appliance can be configured to work with either natural gas or LP gas. Verify that the appliance and
3. This appliance can be configured to work with either natural gas or LP gas. Verify that the appliance and
the incoming gas supply match. Check the rating plate.
4. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Incoming gas pressure should be 1 in wc above appliance rating of 5 inches wc and 10 inches wc.
6. The gas supply line must be the same size or larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. Your appliance has
5. Incoming gas pressure should be 1 in wc above appliance rating of 5 inches wc and 10 inches wc.
6. The gas supply line must be the same size or larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. Your appliance has
either a ½” NPT or ¾” NPT gas inlet connection. It is recommended that the supply line be ¼” NPT
larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. If the gas supply line is not sufficiently sized, the operation of
the appliance may be affected.
larger than the gas inlet of the appliance. If the gas supply line is not sufficiently sized, the operation of
the appliance may be affected.
7. Sealant used on pipe joints must be resistant to LP gas.
8. An installer provided manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance.
8. An installer provided manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance.
This shut-off must be easily accessible in case of emergency.
9. All gas cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation. This appliance is equipped with such a gas pressure regulator. Incoming gas
pressure should be checked with a manometer. The correct manifold pressure for natural gas is 5.0” wc.
For LP gas the correct manifold pressure is 10” wc.
pressure should be checked with a manometer. The correct manifold pressure for natural gas is 5.0” wc.
For LP gas the correct manifold pressure is 10” wc.
10. Incoming line pressure upstream of the appliance should be 1.0” wc greater than the operating manifold
pressure. Service pressure may fluctuate for a variety of reasons. Under no circumstances should the
factory installed regulator be removed or by-passed.
factory installed regulator be removed or by-passed.
11. The factory installed pressure regulator will withstand an input pressure of ½ PSI (12” wc). If the
incoming pressure exceeds the maximum rating, a step-down regulator is required.
12. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply line during any
pressure testing in excess of ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
13. The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply by closing its individual shut-off during any
pressure testing less than ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
14. Check to see that all installer supplied pipes and fittings are clear of debris, threading chips or other
foreign particles before connecting the appliance to the supply line. Such particles will clog orifices
and/or valves when pressure is applied. Service to clean such clogs is not covered by your warranty.
and/or valves when pressure is applied. Service to clean such clogs is not covered by your warranty.
15. The incoming gas supply is brought from the inlet pipe. This is the only connection required via the
installer-supplied shut-off valve.
16. If the appliance is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or a “quick disconnect” the installer must use
a commercially approved AGA Design Certified flexible connector at least ½” NPT that complies with
ANSI Z21.41. In Canada, the connector must comply with CAN 16.10-88 and the “quick disconnect”
device must comply with CAN 16.19M-79 and installed with a strain relief device.

device must comply with CAN 16.19M-79 and installed with a strain relief device.
17. Before putting the appliance into service test all gas connections for leaks. When pressure testing
systems do not exceed ½ psi or else damage will occur to the regulator. To test, use a soapy water
solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Such a procedure is
dangerous, and it may not detect all the small leaks that a soapy solution will.

18. Air shutter adjustments are preset at the factory. These adjustments may need to be redone and/or fine
tuned by the installer. These adjustments are normal. They are the responsibility of the qualified
installer and are not covered by your warranty.

19. A gas type conversion performed in the field may void your warranty. Contact your dealer for
information regarding the conversion from one type of gas supply to another.
