The range is designed to operate at a pressure
of 4 inches of water column on natural gas or, if
designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10
inches of water column. Make sure the range
is supplied with the type of gas for which it is
designed. If, at any time in the future, the range
is to be supplied with a different type of gas,
conversion adjustments must be made by a
qualified service technician before attempting
to operate the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator must be between 4 and
13 inches of water column. For LP gas, the
pressure supplied must be between 10 and 13
inches of water column. When checking for
proper operation of the regulator, the inlet
pressure must beat least 1 inch greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The
pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless
of whether natural or LP gas is being used. A
flexible metal appliance connector used to connect
the range to the gas supply line should have an
I.D. of 1/2” and be 5 feet in length (shorter and
longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of
installation.

Before disconnecting the old range, shut off the
main gas supply valve and leave it off until new
hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
range, the use of an A.G.A.-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.
To prevent gas leaks, wrap pipe thread tape with
Teflon* around, or put pipe joint compound on, all
male (external) pipe threads.

Installer: Inform the consumer
of the location of the gas
shutoff valve.
1.
Install a manual
line shutoff valve in the
gas line in an
location outside of
the range. Make sure everyone operating the
range knows where and how to shut off the g-as
supply to the range.
2. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter
the
NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator.
3. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adaptor to
the NPT internal thread of the manual shutoff
valve, taking care to backup the shutoff valve to
keep it from turning.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shutoff valve.
