Liquid Propane Gas Requirements
(20-Pound Cylinder)
Verify the type of gas your pizza oven has been configured for by the factory
by checking the serial plate on the back of the oven. Pizza ovens configured for
liquid propane (LP) gas are orificed differently than ovens configured for natural
gas (NG). Pizza ovens configured for use with 20-pound LP cylinders (Type 1)
are shipped with an LP regulator hose assembly attached.
Connection:
LP regulator hose assembly (included) connects to the pizza oven
via 0.5" NPT male with a 0.375" flare adapter (included).
Operating Pressure:
11.0" W.C.
To connect the LP regulator hose assembly to the LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank is
completely closed. Make sure also that the control valves on the front of the pizza oven are OFF.
Thread the regulator inlet over the tank valve. Use care to ensure proper alignment of the threaded coupler
and avoid cross-threading or damaging the coupler. Turn the black coupler clockwise until tightened up, but
do not over-tighten.
IMPORTANT:
Always close the main valve on the
tank before disconnecting or transporting the tank.
IMPORTANT: After connecting a fresh LP tank,
you may need to purge air from the system. Before
lighting, open the main valve on the tank. Turn
the control valves on the pizza oven to the HIGH
position for about 15 seconds to purge air from the
system. Turn the control valves on the pizza oven
OFF and wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear. Finally,
continue with the normal lighting procedure.
The installation must conform with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54; Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58; Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1;
or Propane
Storage and Handling, CSA B149.2.
Cylinder Requirements:
Never use
a dented or rusty LP tank. Never
use a cylinder with a damaged
valve. Always check for leaks after
connecting an LP tank.
