Gas Connection

NOTE: IF THE OPTIONAL BLOWER KIT (# 129161) IS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AS POSSIBLE. USE OF A 90° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE VALVE TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOWER. See Figure 15.

The gas supply line connection is made to the valve just inside the left rear leg. The Gas supply line should be 3/8" or 1/2" diameter, or the appropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.

The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S., however, Canadian methods vary depending on local code.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.

All codes require a gas shutoff valve (gas cock) and union to be installed in the supply line and in the same room as the appliance for servicing and maintenance. See Figure 17.

T-handle gas cocks are required in Massachu- setts in compliance with Code 248 CMR.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (for propane units be sure to use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Figure 17. Gas supply valve types and fittings.

Leak test:

1.Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.

2.Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page 22 of this manual or on the stove’s rating plate.

3.Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.

4.If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.

5.Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.

Gas Pressure

It is important that the correct pressure is estab- lished at the time of the installation. Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the stove is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. The gauge connections are located on the front of the valve under the On/Off/Pilot- knob. See Fig. 18. Gauge connections are identified by:

•E for inlet or supply pressure ( the amount of gas coming to the valve.)

•A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB SET ON HIGH.
