INSTALLATION Continued

Standards

Installation must be planned in accordance with all applicable state and local codes, taking into account the following standards (or latest edition):

Grease Extractor ANSI/NFPA 96-1992

Power Ventilators ANSI/NFPA 96-1987

Filter Unit ANSI/NFPA 96-1987

Smoke Detectors ANSI/NFPA 728-1986. CAN/ULC 8553- 1986

Fire Extinguisher (C02) ANSI/NFPA 12-1989

This section is not intended to be complete and other nationally recognized standards may be appropriate.

Gas Supply

1.Installation of the equipment should be made by a licensed plumber.

2.A gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead or the appliance for safety and for ease of future service.

3.A gas pressure regulator must be installed at the appliance prior to connecting the equipment to the gas line. Failure to install a regulator will void the equipment warranty.

NOTE: The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. U.S. Range “Regal” char-broilers use a 3/4” NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.

To convert to propane or natural gas, contact a certified service agency.

Statutory Regulations

Safe and satisfactory operation of your equipment depends, to a great extent, on its proper installation. Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:

1.The appliance 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 psi (3.45 kPa).

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

Manual Shut-Off Valve

This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance and regulator in the gas stream and in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

Pressure Regulator

All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation. The pressure regulator installed must be listed by a nationally recognized agency. Line service pressure may fluctuate with local demand.

All “Regal” char-broilers must be installed with the included gas pressure regulator.

Regulators are adjusted at the factory for 5”WC (natural gas) or 10”WC (LP gas) depending on the customer’s ordering instructions.

Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can withstand a maximum pressure of 1/2 psi (14”WC). If the Line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down regulator will be required. Double- check the arrow forged onto the bottom of the regulator body which shows gas flow directions; it should point downstream to the appliance. The red air-vent cap is part of the regulator and should not be removed unless local codes require external venting.

Regulators can be adjusted in the field, but it is recommended that they not be tampered with unless that part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure fluctuations are found to exist and can be solved no other way. Any adjustments to regulators must be made by qualified service personnel with proper test equipment.

If a vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator is used, it should be installed to the outdoors in accordance with local codes or code ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or The Propane Installation code, CAN/CGA-B149.2.
