Since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand, every gas cooking range must be
equipped with a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation.
The pressure regulator shipped with the range has two female threads 34" NPT. The regulator
shall be installed properly in order to be accessible when the appliance is installed in its final
position.
Pressure regulator can withstand
a maximum input pressure of 0.5
psi (3.5 kPa), and is set at 5"
wc out let pressure.
Pressure Regulator
Gas Shut-off Valve
The supply line must be equipped with an approved external gas shut-off valve located near the
range in an accessible location. Do not block access to the shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration
below.
A 3/4" (19) ID gas supply line must be provided to the range. If local codes permit, a certified,
3' (.9 m) long, 1/2" (13) or 3/4" (19) ID flexible metal appliance connector is recommended to
connect the unit’s 1/2" NPT female inlet to the gas supply line. Pipe joint compounds suitable for
use with natural or LP gas should be used.
The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa). The
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5
psi (3.5 kPa).
