GAS LINE HOOK-UP

NOTICE: Gas line hookup should be done by your gas supplier or a qualified service person.

WARNING: Before you pro- ceed, make sure your gas supply

is OFF.

A manual shut-off valve must be included within (6') six feet of the appliance’s gas supply system. For your convenience, it may be desirable to install the shut-off valve outside the appliance's enclosure where it can be accessed with a key through a wall as shown in Figure 18.

Route an approved gas line towards the appliance coming in from any direction (see Figure 19).

A flexible gas line long enough to connect the incoming approved gas line with the gas control valve will be required, along with a sediment trap.

The approximate location of the gas control valve inlet is indicated in Figure 19.

Note: Do NOT kink flexible gas line.

Before connecting the flexible gas line to the gas control valve, a sediment trap must be included between them. It must extend down 3 inches beyond the center of the pipe (See Figure 20).

Prepare incoming approved gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint compound (Check with local building codes).

CAUTION: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied Petroleum (LP or pro- pane), and should be applied lightly to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.

WARNING: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed.

After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a soap and water solution to all connections and joints. If bubbles appear, leaks can be detected and corrected.

Do not use an open flame for leak testing and do not operate any appliance if a leak is detected.

Complete your gas installation by connect- ing incoming gas line with flexible gas line. Secure tightly with wrench but do not over- tighten. Replace burner pan.
