Garland Regal Series INSTALLATION Continued, Rigid Connections, Flexible Couplings & Connectors

INSTALLATION Continued

Regulators are pre-set at the factory for 5”WC (natural gas) or 10”WC (propane) according to 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.

WARNING Do not connect the regulator inside the unit’s body or directly on top of the hot plate, as temperatures are high enough in these areas to destroy the regulator. Failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty!

Rigid Connections

Double-check any installer-supplied intake pipes visually and clear any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign matter before installing in a service line. Those particles will clog orifices when gas pressure is applied.

WARNING All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be tested with a soapy solution before lighting any pilots!

Flexible Couplings & Connectors.

If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, for an appliance equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 /CSA 6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 / CSA 6.9, and adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement and the location(s) where the restraining means may be attached to the appliance shall be specified.

Further, if the unit is to be installed on a non-combustible surface that is equipped with casters, means must be provided to limit the movement of the unit on this surface.

Manual Pilot Valve

All burners are equipped with constant-burning pilots. These should be manually lighted immediately after the gas is turned on and the system is checked for leaks. An adjustment screw for each pilot is located on the gas manifold and can be accessed through openings in the valve panel between the valve knobs.

Testing and Adjustments

Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy solution before lighting any pilots. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting open flame beside a new connection is not only dangerous, but will often miss small leaks that a soapy solution would find.

All U.S. Range appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively matching them to sea level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude; variations in gas characteristics, to correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel.

These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer, installer and/or dealer and are not covered by the U.S. Range warranty.
