OPTIONAL REAR CONNECTION KIT
RM-55 REAR CONNECTION KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the connection kit, install the provided pressure regulator:
a. Locate gas supply for the rice cooker. Installation must comply with the National codes so there
should be a shut off valve on the gas supply line to the rice cooker.
b. Install the supplied pressure regulator after the gas supply valve. An arrow on the body of the
pressure regulator indicates the direction of the gas flow. The arrow must be pointing in the direction to
the rice cooker. The rice cooker will not operate if the regulator is improperly installed.
c. Install the 3/4” x 1/2” bushing supplied into the pressure regulator outlet.
d. Install the supply side of the quick disconnect hose (provided by others) to the regulator per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
With the pressure regulator and the hose installed, install the rear connection kit. Be sure to use
approved materials on the pipe threads to prevent gas leaks.
1. Install 3/8” x 1/2” galvanized coupling onto the rice cooker inlet while using a wrench to secure the
unit’s gas manifold.
2. Install 1/2” galvanized street elbow onto the coupling.
3. Install pipe nipple bracket with two (2) screws provided. Holes for the screws are provided.
4. Install 1/2” x 10” galvanized pipe nipple.
