Gas Connection
GAS HOSE RESTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial
flexible connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm)
inside diameter must be used along with a quick
connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be
used to limit the movement of the unit so that no
strain is placed upon the flexible connector. The
restraint should be fastened to the base frame of
the oven as close to the flexible connector as pos-
sible. It should be short enough to prevent any
strain on the connector. With the restraint fully
stretched the connector should be easy to install
and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be at-
tached without damaging the building. DO NOT
use the gas piping or electrical conduit for the at-
tachment of the permanent end of the restraint!
Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block. On
wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into
the studs of the wall.
WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any
reason it must be reconnected when the
oven is returned to its original position.
U.S. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the
Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI
Z21.69 or Connectors For Moveable Gas Ap-
pliances CAN/CGA-6.16
and a quick disconnect
device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-
Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI
Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With Gas Fuel
CAN 1-6.9
. Adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without de-
pending on the connection and the quick discon-
nect device or its associated piping.
A drip leg must be used at each appliance. Refer
to
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition
(National
Fuel Gas Code) for proper drip leg installation.
General export and Australian installations

with Local and National installation standards. Lo-
cal installation codes and/or requirements may

er installation and/or operation of your Blodgett
oven, please contact your local distributor. If you

tened as close as possible to flex-
ible connector and short enough
to prevent any strain on flexible
connect. At maximum stretch of
shortened restraint the flexible
connector should be easy to
install and quick connect.
