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.
