Connect the Range to the Gas Supply

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has been completed. Do not forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard- piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe. The range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

A.Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

B.Install a male ½’’ flare union adapter to the ½’’ NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage. When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

C.Install a male ½’’ or ¾’’ flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to backup the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

D.Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position the range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

E.When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the OFF position. Turn on the main gas supply valve and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Use a product specifically manufactured for leak detection. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted in accordance to the local codes.

CAUTION:leaks. DO NOT use a flame to check for gas

When using test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5kPa) to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping.

When using test pressures of ½ psig (3.5kPa) or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
