Natural Gas Requirements
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
natural gas (NG) are orificed differently than ovens configured for liquid propane
(LP) gas. Pizza ovens configured for use with natural gas are shipped with a gray
hose with a quick-connect fitting.
Connection:
Quick-connect hose assembly (included) connects to the pizza oven
via 0.5" NPT male with a 0.375" flare adapter (included). The quick-connect
fitting (included) threads onto a 0.375” male NPT connection point (not included).
Operating Pressure:
7.0" W.C.
IMPORTANT:
Always close gas supply shutoff valve
before disconnecting the pizza oven gas supply hose.
IMPORTANT: An installer-supplied safety shutoff valve
MUST be installed on the natural gas supply line for the
pizza oven. The valve should be easily accessed and
located between 3 and 20 feet away from the oven.
All gas connections should be made by a qualified
technician. The installation and all installer-supplied
parts must conform to local codes. In the absence
of local codes, the installation and all parts should
conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type.
Artisan Fire Pizza Oven BTUs: 52,000
IMPORTANT:
Diameter and length of the gas supply
pipe may limit the pressure and BTU delivery of gas to
the oven. The installer must ensure proper delivery to
the pizza oven or it will not operate properly.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
