GAS HOSE RESTRAINT

Installation Manual background

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. With the restraint fully stretched the connector should be easy to install and quick connect.

The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be 1,000 lb. (453 kg) test load and should be attached without damaging the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical conduit for the attachment 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.

1.Mount the supplied bracket to the leg bolt be- low the gas inlet. See Figure 3.

2.Attach the clip on restraining cable to the mounting bracket.
