Battery Installation

If you are installing a new battery range to an existing field appliance manufactured before January 1998, the union on the existing field appliance must be checked against the union being used on the new range. The union manufacturer's name around the face surface of the union nut must match. If the new range has been shipped using a Ward union and the old appliance has something different — i.e., Stockham — it must be replaced with a Ward union (Fig. 3). Failure to replace this union could result in a gas leak.

If a Ward union is needed for installation, it must be ordered through the Vulcan-Hart Parts Depot (Part No. FP-088-89).

Questions or concerns regarding the above installation procedures may be addressed by calling a Vulcan-Hart Service Agency. (refer to our website, www.vulcanhart.com for a complete listing of Authorized Service and Parts depots).

Proceed with the battery installation as follows:

1.Move next range into position and level as explained in LEVELING. Engage union nut on manifold pipe with male fitting on next range and draw up union nut hand-tight. Be sure ranges butt both front and rear. If manifolds do not line up, then ranges are not level. Do not adjust manifold brackets to make manifolds line up, except in extreme cases, because this will cause gas valves not to line up perfectly with manifold cover holes. Bolt top frames together, using 10-24 x 1/2" (12.7 mm) bolts (packed in plastic bag in range oven).
