INSTALLING GAS APPLIANCE CONNECTORS
AND FLEXIBLE GAS LINES CORRECTLY
RESTRAINING DEVICE
INSTALLATION AND USE
This high strength restrainer is to be used with all moveable (castered) appliances. It fully complies with
American Gas Association requirements. References: Z21.69, Z83.11, and Z21.41 with current revisions.
Installation is quick and positive. In Canada, device is in accordance with CAN 1-6.9-M70 Quick
Disconnect Devices for use with gas fuel, and CAN 1-6.10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances.
Correct length for any appliance is simply a matter of loosening two adjuster clips (1) and re-tightening.
(3" to 6" shorter than appliance connector is desired length.)
Restrainer is made of heavy duty steel cable, with a strong scissor hood (2) at one end, and an equally
strong spring hook (3) at the other. Cotter pin (4) is supplied to secure the installation.
For safety in the kitchen area, and to insure maxi-
mum service life, it is vitally important to correctly
install connectors.
In order to avoid sharp kinks or excessive bends
that could have a damaging effect on the connec-
tor, it may be necessary to attach pipe elbows in
order to bring the connector into its proper plane.
For easy movement of the appliance, the connec-
tor should be installed with a "lazy" loop for mini-
mum tension.
Note: Gas appliances should be disconnected
prior to maximum movement. (Minimal move-
ment is possible to connect hose.)
WRONG
Avoid sharp bends and
kinks when pulling equip-
ment away from wall.
RIGHT
Minimum pull of equip-
ment is permissible for
accessibility to quick dis-
connect device.
