Natural Gas Connection Preparation:   

1.

 

Turn off gas supply, and then remove cap on gas 
supply side. 

2.

 

Recommended: Install a shut-off valve on           
gas supply side before installing the socket. 

3.

 

Socket should be installed by an authorized 
technician in accordance with the national fuel gas 

code (NFPA 54/ANSI223.1).   

4.

 

Before inserting plug, turn on gas supply and leak 

test all connections including the stem of the shut-off 
valve and the opening of the socket. For best results, 

use an ammonia-free soap & water solution. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Operating Instructions:   
1. To connect, push back socket sleeve. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Insert plug and release sleeve. 

 
3. Push plug until sleeve snaps forward. (Gas will flow 

automatically. Failure to connect plug properly to 
socket will inhibit gas flow to the appliance.) 

 
 
 
 
 
 
To disconnect 
1. Pull Sleeve back. Pull plug out of socket. (Gas is 

automatically shut off.) 

2. Close shut-off valve or turn off gas supply, and replace 

dust caps on socket and plug.

set for 7-inch water column (WC) pressure, and cannot 
be used with Propane Gas. Gas pressure is affected by 

gas line size and the length of gas line run from the 
house. Follow the recommendations in the chart below.
