PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING

Each section of the 1060-B series oven is rated at 120,000 BTU per hour (35.2 kW). The 1060-BL se- ries ovens are rated at 85,000 BTU per hour (24.9 kW). At full demand, each section 1060-B requires 120 cubic feet per hour (3.2 m3) Natural gas or 47 cubic feet per hour (1.3 m3) Propane gas. Each section 1048-BL oven requires 85 cubic feet per hour (2.4 m3) Natural gas or 33 cubic feet per hour (0.9 m3) Propane gas. Each oven has been ad- justed at the factory to operate with the type of gas specified on the rating plate.

DInlet Pressure --- the pressure of the gas before it reaches the oven.

DManifold Pressure --- the pressure of the gas as it enters the main burner(s).

DMin --- the minimum pressure recommended to operate the oven.

D Max --- the maximum pressure at which the manufacturer warrants the oven’s operation.

Each oven is supplied with a regulator to maintain the proper gas pressure. The regulator is essen- tial to the proper operation of the oven and must be installed. It is preset to provide the oven with 3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa) for natural gas and 10.5” W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane at the manifold.

DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY UNLESS THE SUPPLY EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE.

Due to the decrease in oxygen at higher eleva- tions, above 2000’, the unit may need to be re- rated. (The orifice size may need to be adjusted to accomodate different air pressures at higher elevations.) If not rerated, incomplete combustion may occur releasing Aldehydes and CO or Carbon Monoxide. Any of these are unacceptable and may be hazardous to the health of the operator.

Prior to connecting the oven, gas lines should be thoroughly purged of all metal filings, shavings, pipe dope, and other debris. After connection, the oven should be checked for correct gas pressure.

Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 ---Latest Edition, the Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA- B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/ CGA-B149.2as applicable.

The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

The oven must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas piping system at test pressures equal or less than 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).
