INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas
line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In
Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined
by a qualified installation professional, your local gas company or by referring to the National Gas Fuel Code, Appendix C, Table C-4
(for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all
appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0”
W.C. (17.4 mbars, 1.74 kPa) and 10.0” W.C. (24.9 mbars, 2.49 kPa) natural gas or between 11.0” W.C. (27.4 mbars, 2.74 kPa) and
13.0” W.C. (32.4 mbars, 3.25 kPa) propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The
pressure at the gas valve must not exceed 1/2 PSI.
Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is
stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.
