PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION PROCESS! SHOULD YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT EASTMAN.
•
The installation MUST BE complaint with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z233.1) and local installation codes.
•
The installation and testing MUST be performed by a qualified professional. Make sure that gas supply and gas valves of the appliances are shut off before the installation of gas connector.
•
DO NOT REUSE any connectors, fittings and valves.
They are designed for use on original installation only. Removal of connector and any additional handing may damage connector
making it unsafe and unreliable for reuse.
•
The excess flow value shall be for use only in its original installation and location.
DO NOT REUSE
the excess flow valve for another installation or move it to a different location within the
same piping system.
•
DO NOT
use this connector if it has been in a fire. Fire can damage the connector making it unsafe for reuse.
•
DO NOT
use this connector on appliances equipped with rollers or casters. This connector is designed for limited movement after installation. Repeated bending, flexing or extreme vibration
can cause metal fatigue and must be avoided.
•
DO NOT
use connectors to make a direct connection to LP gas containers. Connection MUST be made to the regulator device only.
•
DO NOT
use connector on appliance in moving vehicles such as RV’s, trailers, etc. However, this product may be used in manufactured housing, like permanent residence mobile homes.
•
DO NOT
use this connector with infrared radiant tube heaters. Cyclic movement of heater may cause connector to fail.
•
Keep cleaning solvents containing ammonia or chlorine away from uncoated or damaged gas connectors.
DO NOT store
these solutions near connectors or use the connectors near a
swimming pool or hot tub. If exposed to these chemical products, rinse the connectors thoroughly with water.
•
DO NOT
join two or more connectors to make a longer connector.
•
DO NOT
stretch connector to make it fit. Connector should be of adequate length to reach from the gas supply line to the appliance without stretching.
•
DO NOT
conceal connector or run connector through enclosed outdoor BBQ pits, walls, partitions, floors or appliance panels. The gas outlet must be in the same room as appliance.
•
DO NOT
assemble gas connector nuts directly to male pipe threads of gas supply pipe or appliance. Install connector using the fittings provided. (See Figure 1)
•
If the excess flow valve has been damaged and is no longer in operating condition, the excess flow valve must be replaced.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Turn off gas supply before disconnecting old appliance. In absence of manual shut-off valve near appliance location, gas MUST be shut off on the main valve, near the meter.
Shut-Off Valve
Measure
Determine the length needed to reach from the appliance inlet to the gas supply. Allow
additional length to access behind the appliance.
*Local codes may limit the maximum length, check all local and applicable codes before installation.
Check Appliance
Identify the manufacturer label on your appliance to determine the gas input rating. Select
the correct length and Btu/hr rating that is greater than your appliance. (See below chart)
Match
Make sure fittings included match up to the gas supply and inlet of the appliance.
Be SAFE
Read and understand the installation instructions! Failure to follow the instructions can
result in product failure, property damage and/or personal injury.
Mide
Determina la longitud necesaria para llegar desde la entrada del aparato hasta el suministro
de gas. Agregar largo suficiente para permitir el acceso detrás del electrodoméstico.
*Los códigos locales pueden limitar la longitud máxima, verifica todos los códigos locales y aplicables antes de
la instalación.
Verifica el Electrodoméstico
Busca la etiqueta de fabricación de tu electrodoméstico para determinar la clasificación de
entrada de gas. Selecciona la longitud correcta y la clasificación de Btu/h que sea mayor que
la de tu electrodoméstico. (Vea el cuadro a continuación)
Correspondencia
Asegúrate de que los conectores incluidos correspondan con el suministro de gas y la
entrada del aparato.
Ten CUIDADO
¡
Lee y comprende las instrucciones de instalación! No seguir las instrucciones puede resultar
en fallas del producto, daños a la propiedad y o lesiones personales.
This connector meets or exceeds the minimum allowable capacity as determined under test condition specified in ANSI
Z21.24/CSA6.10. These connectors with the highlighted capacities above are not suitable for radiant tube heaters in the US.
Select a connector on the chart above that has a larger flow capacity that the gas rating of your appliance.
Este conector cumple o excede la capacidad mínima permitida según se determina en la condición de prueba especificada en ANSI
Z21.24/CSA6.10. Estos conectores con las capacidades resaltadas anteriormente no son adecuados para calentadores de tubo
radiante en los EE. UU. Selecciona un conector en la tabla anterior que tenga una capacidad de flujo mayor que la clasificación de
gas de tu electrodoméstico.
