Make Gas Connection
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14ʺ (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating
personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Propane gas to
all pipe thread connections.
2. Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.
A. Gas pressure regulator
B. 90° elbow (must have 1/3"
[1.2 cm] male pipe thread)
C. Nipple
D. Union
E. Black iron pipe
F. Manual gas shutoff valve
G. 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm)
gas pipe
H. Nipple
I. Union
J. 90° elbow
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with propane gas to
the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters
(see B and G in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the other
adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a 15/16" (23.8 mm) combination wrench and channel lock
pliers to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check
that connector is not kinked.
A. Gas pressure regulator
B. Use pipe-joint compound.
C. Adapter (must have 1/3"
[12.7 mm] male pipe thread)
D. Flexible connector
E. Manual gas shutoff valve
F. 1/2" (12.7 mm) or 3/4"
(19.1 mm) gas pipe
G. Use pipe-joint compound.
H. Adapter
Complete Connection
1. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the
“on” position.
A. Gas pressure regulator shut-off valve shown in the
“on” position
2. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
A. Closed valve
B. Open valve
3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated.
Correct any leak found.
