INSTALLATION Continued
Gas Connections
All fixed (non mobile) appliances MUST be fitted with a manual gas cock upstream of the appliance to provide a means of isolation for servicing or cleaning purposes.. A union or similar means of disconnection must be provided between the gas cock and the appliance..
A manually operable valve must be fitted to the gas supply to the kitchen to enable it to be isolated in an emergency.. Whenever practical, this shall be located either outside the kitchen of near an exit in a readily accessible position..
Where it is not practical to do this, an automatic isolation valve system shall be fitted which can be operated from a readily accessible position or near to the exit..
At locations where the manual isolation valve is fitted or the automatic system can be reset, a notice MUST be fitted stating:
“ALL DOWNSTREAM BURNER AND PILOT VALVES MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE THE SUPPLY.. AFTER EXTENDED SHUT OFF, PURGE BEFORE RESTORING GAS..”
Before assembly and connection, check gas supply..
A.The type of gas for which the unit is equipped is stamped on the rating plate located on the lower front panel simply remove the drip tray for easy access.. Connect a unit stamped “NAT” only to natural gas; connect those stamped “PRO” only to propane gas..
B.If it is additional equipment or a replacement have a qualified gas technician check the gas pressure to make certain that existing gas facilities (meter piping, etc..) will supply gas to the unit with no more than 1/2” water column pressure drop..
NOTE: When checking pressure, be sure that all other equipment on the same gas line is on.. A pressure regulator is supplied with US Range
C.The appliance and its individual shut off (supplied by others) must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2” psi (3..45 kPa)..
D.The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve (supplied by others) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3..45 kPa)..
E.The gas supply connection is made either at the top left rear or lower rear right corner, depending on how the unit was ordered.. A readily accessible approved type of hand valve should be installed on each supply line.. Test for leaks – DO NOT USE ANY OPEN FLAME..
F.A pressure tap plug is supplied with the units and it is installed on the manifold.. The drip tray must be removed to use the pressure tap.. The gas pressure must be checked when the unit is installed, to insure that the unit gas pressure is the same as specified on the rating plate.. If necessary, pressure adjustments must be made at the supplied pressure regulator..
NOTE: the pressure regulator is located at the top left rear or bottom right rear of the salamander..
G.If it is a completely new installation, have a qualified gas technician check meter size and piping to ensure that the unit is supplied with a sufficient amount of gas at the specified pressure for unit operation..
H.Make certain that the new piping, joints and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged, so that the piping compound, chips, etc, will not clog pilots, valves and/or controls.. Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquefied petroleum gas..
WARNING Check gas connections for leaks.. Use a soap solution or similar means.. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
