Gas Connection
PRESSURE REGULATOR
Since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand, every gas cooking appliance
must be equipped with a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation.
•
Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator shipped with the appliance has two female 1/2" (13 mm)
NPT threads.
• The regulator shall be installed properly in order to be accessible when the appliance is
installed in its final position.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer and comply with the values
indicated below.
Natural gas — 4" W.C.P. (1 kPa)
Liquid propane gas — 10" W.C.P. (2.45 kPa)
• Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1" W.C.P. (0.25 kPa) higher
than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator.
• The regulator used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI
(13.8" W.C.P. or 3.4 kPa). If the line pressure exceeds that amount, a step down regulator
is required.
• The appliance, its individual shut-off valve, and the pressure regulator must be disconnected
from the gas line during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI
(13.8" W.C.P. or 3.4 kPa).
WARNING
Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appliance from gas and
electricity� Gas conversion shall be conducted by a factory-trained professional�
