PRESSURE REGULATOR
Since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand, every gas cooking appliance must be equipped with a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation.
The pressure regulator shipped with the appliance has two female threads ½” NPT. The regulator shall be installed properly in order to be accessible when the appliance is installed in its final position.
Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer and comply with the values indicated below:
Natural gas Æ 4.0" W.c.P.
LP/Propane Æ 11.0" W.C.P.
Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1" W.c.P. higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator.
The regulator used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14.0" W.c.P.) If the line pressure exceeds that amount, a step‐ down regulator is required.
The appliance, its individual shut‐off valve, and the pressure regulator must be disconnected from the gas line during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The individual manual shut‐off valve must be in the OFF position during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 kPa).
