Gas Supply Connection, Pressure Testing

Gas Supply Connection

A TRAINED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions below.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections were disturbed during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut-off valve, and retest for leaks.

CAUTION: NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME.

WHEN LEAK CHECK IS COMPLETE, WIPE OFF ALL RESIDUE.

If the alternative piping method shown in figure 8 is selected for the installation, no ground joint union is required. (The flexible appliance connector illustrated provides the union joints necessary for servicing.) When a dividing wall is present and a flexible connector is used it is recommended for convenience, in both installation and service, the flexible connector, itself, pass through the dividing wall. Any flexible connector used with this appliance must satisfy all requirements stated in the text following figure 8.

Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new A.G.A. - Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The connector must have an internal diameter not less than nominal 1/2 NPT pipe and be no more than 5 feet in length. A 1/2 NPT x 1/2 flare union adapter is required at each end of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance manifold) so as to be physically stationary.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector directly to an external pipe thread. Connection requires flare union adapters.

Pressure Testing

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).

This appliance, as well as its individual 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 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).

When checking appliance regulator function, make certain pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14 inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches.

Electrical Wiring Information

This appliance is equipped with a grounded type power cord. A grounded outlet must be provided.

The power cord extends 45 outside the unit housing. The outlet should be located inside the cutout width and below the lowest most projection of the unit housing.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE PRONG GROUNDING PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ITS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THE WALL RECEP- TACLE BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
