Gas Connection
GAS HOSE RESTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial flexible connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm) inside diameter must be used along with a quick connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be used to limit the movement of the unit so that no strain is placed upon the flexible connector. The restraint should be fastened to the base frame of the oven as close to the flexible connector as pos- sible. It should be short enough to prevent any strain on the connector. With the restraint fully stretched the connector should be easy to install and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be at- tached without damaging the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical conduit for the at- tachment of the permanent end of the restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block. On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into the studs of the wall.
WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any reason it must be reconnected when the oven is returned to its original position.
U.S. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors For Moveable Gas Ap- pliances
limit the movement of the appliance without de- pending on the connection and the quick discon- nect device or its associated piping.
A drip leg must be used at each appliance. Refer to NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper drip leg installation.
General export and Australian installations
The restraint and quick connect must conform with Local and National installation standards. Lo- cal installation codes and/or requirements may vary. If you have any questions regarding the prop- er installation and/or operation of your Blodgett oven, please contact your local distributor.
