BlueStar BWO36AGS Installation Instruction

                     P/N 750323 Page   14 

 

1.  The installation of this appliance must 

conform with all applicable local codes.  
In the absence of local codes, the instal-
lation must conform to the latest level of 
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54.  In Canada, the instal-
lation must be in accordance with the 
current CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2. 

2.  This appliance can be configured to work 

with either natural gas or LP gas.  Verify 
that the appliance and the incoming gas 
supply are compatible.  Check the rating 
plate. 

3.  The gas supply line must be the same 

size or larger than the gas inlet of the ap-
pliance.  Your appliance has either a ½” 
NPT or ¾” NPT gas inlet connection.  
We recommend the supply line be ¼” 
NPT larger than the gas inlet of the appli-
ance. 

4.  Sealant used on pipe joints must be resis-

tant to LP gas. 

5.  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 emer-
gency. 

6.  All gas cooking equipment must have a 

pressure regulator on the incoming ser-
vice line for safe and efficient operation.  
This appliance is equipped with such a 
gas pressure regulator.  Incoming gas 
pressure should be checked with a ma-
nometer.  The correct manifold pressure 
for natural gas is 5.0” wc.  For LP gas the 
correct manifold pressure is 10” wc. 

7.  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 re-

moved or by-passed. 

8. 

This 

regulator will withstand an input pressure 
of ½ PSI (12” wc).  If the incoming pres-
sure exceeds the maximum rating a step-
down regulator is required. 

9.  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]. 

10. 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]. 

11. 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 ori-
fices and/or valves when pressure is ap-
plied.  Service to clean such clogs is not 
covered by your warranty. 

12. The incoming gas supply is brought from 

the inlet pipe.  This is the only connec-
tion required via the installer-supplied 
shut-off valve. 

13. If the appliance is to be installed with 

flexible couplings and/or a “quick dis-
connect” the installer must use a com-
mercially approved AGA Design certi-
fied 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 discon-
nect” device must comply with CAN 
16.19M-79 and installed with a strain 
relief device. 

14. In Massachusetts, this appliance must be 

installed with a 36” long flexible gas 
connector 

15. Before putting the appliance into service 

test all gas connections for leaks.  Use a
