Installation Instructions
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up has
been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new
range. If the hard piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved
after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
range.
B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2" NPT
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup
wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the
90° elbow for easier installation.
CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from
turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.
E. When all connections have been made, make sure all
range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the
system.
Fire hazard: Do not use a flame to check for
gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
