2. Connecting the Gas Supply
Gas Supply Requirements
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LO-
CAL CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE,
MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION
OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.
Shut-off Valve
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock) and
union to be installed in the supply line within 6 feet of the
appliance. This allows for the disconnection of the stove for
servicing and maintenance. See Fig. 7.2.
A T-HANDLE GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE IS
REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN COM-
PLIANCE WITH CODE 248CMR.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY
A LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMAN
PLUMBER OR GAS-FITTER WHEN
INSTALLED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS.
The stove and gas control valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of the
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures
lower than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply by closing the
manual shut-off valve.
Control Valve Connection
The gas supply line connection to the stove flex line
can be made at the rear of the base plate or through the
floor. The gas supply line should be a minimum 3/8” inside
diameter, or the appropriate size to provide sufficient gas
pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.
The use of flexible gas appliance connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S. In Canada, methods
vary depending on local code. If local codes permit, use
flexible gas line for ease of installation and service. For those
locales where flexible gas lines are not permitted, use the
3/8” iron fitting to make the connection at the top side of
the Control Valve. See fig. 7.2.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and
sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure to use com-
pounds that are propane resistant). Turn on gas supply and
test for gas leaks using a 50/50 soapy water solution or a
gas detector.
