Complete the instructions below for installing the piping,
installing the control, connecting the wiring. Make sure the
leak test you perform on the control after completing the
installation includes leak testing the bushings.
Location
The gas controls are mounted in the appliance vestibule
on the gas manifold. If this is a replacement application,
mount the gas control in the same location as the old
control.
Locate the combination gas control where it cannot be
affected by steam cleaning, high humidity, or dripping
water, corrosive chemicals, dust or grease accumulation
or excessive heat.
To assure proper operation, follow these guidelines:
• Locate gas control in a well-ventilated area.
• Mount gas control high enough above cabinet bottom
to avoid exposure to flooding or splashing water.
• Assure the ambient temperature does not exceed the
ambient temperature ratings for each component.
• Cover gas control if appliance is cleaned with water,
steam, or chemicals or to avoid dust and grease
accumulation.
• Avoid locating gas control where exposure to corrosive
chemical fumes or dripping water are likely.
Install Piping to Control
All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or
with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1,
NFPA No. 54), whichever applies. Tubing installation must
comply with approved standards and practices.
1.
Use new, properly reamed pipe that is free from
chips. If tubing is used, make sure the ends are
square, deburred and clean. All tubing bends must
be smooth and without deformation.
2.
Run pipe or tubing to the control. If tubing is used,
obtain a tube-to-pipe coupling to connect the tubing
to the control.
3.
Install a sediment trap in the supply line to the
control. See Fig. 3.
Install Control
1.
Mount with the coils 90 degrees from the vertical
upright position.
2.
Mount so the gas flow is in the direction of the arrow
on the bottom of the control.
3.
Thread the pipe the amount shown in Table 3 for
insertion into control or adapters. Do not thread
pipe too far. Valve distortion or malfunction can
result if the pipe is inserted too deeply.
4.
Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
compound (do not use Teflon tape) only to the pipe,
leaving two end threads bare. On LP installations,
use a compound resistant to LP gas. See Fig. 4.
5.
Remove the seals over the control inlet and outlet
before installing pipe.
6.
Connect the pipe to the control inlet and outlet. Use
a wrench on the square end or a socket on the hex
end of the control. See Fig. 5.

OK when bushings are used.
Air pressure connections
The air pressure difference must be connected to the two
air pressure connections. See Fig. 1.
