Gas Supply Line
■
Provide a gas supply line of
³⁄₄
" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON
®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be
½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size
and materials used in the system.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■
If local codes permit, use a
¹⁄₂
" or
³⁄₄
" I.D. flexible stainless
steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
■
A ½" male pipe thread is needed for connection to the
female pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressure
regulator.
■
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
■
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent
cabinet. It must be accessible without removing the cooktop,
and it should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings should be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea
level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on
the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
