2.4Connection to Gas Line
DANGER
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thor- oughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas con- trols will cause improper and dangerous operation.
DANGER
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas valve(s).
DANGER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its in- dividual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
DANGER
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before light- ing any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
