Gas Supply Line, Gas Pressure Regulator

Gas Supply Line

■Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■If local codes permit, use a ⁵⁄₈" flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP

Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

■A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.

■Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the cooktop.

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be level and in line.

■Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the cooktop. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
