GAS HOT PLATE
Regulator information:
¾” NPT inlet and outlet; factory adjusted for 4” w.c.
Natural Gas standard and may be converted by qualified personnel to be used for
Propane at 10” w.c.
.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as the regulator
can only withstand a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” w.c.). If the line pressure is
beyond this limit, a step down regulator will be required. The arrow forged into the
bottom of the regulator body shows gas flow direction, and should point
downstream to the appliance.
Gas conversion:
Conversion from Natural Gas to Propane or vice versa may only be
performed by the factory or its authorized service agent per the International Fuel
Gas Code.
Note:
Refer to the International Fuel Gas Code for proper orifice sizing.
Note:
The orifice size is marked on the orifice/spud.
Gas connection:
The appliance comes fitted with a ¾” N.P.T male adapter for
connection to the pressure regulator.
Gas piping:
Gas Piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of
gas sufficient to meet the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be
connected to existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it has adequate
capacity. Joint compound (pipe dope) shall be used sparingly and only on the male
threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds must be resistant to the action of L.P
gases.
CAUTION:
Any loose dirt or metal particles, which are allowed to enter the gas lines on
this appliance, will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this
appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from any internal contaminates. It is
recommended that a sediment trap be installed inline before the regulator.
Manual shut off valve:
A manual shut off valve should be installed in an accessible
location within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the appliance.
Checking for gas leaks:
Using a gas leak detector or a leak detection solution is
recommended for locating gas leaks. Matches, candle flame or other sources of
ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping system for leaks.
