Alternative Piping Methods To Connect Appliance To Gas Supply

A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions given.

Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new A.G.A. -- Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The connector must be no more than 5 feet in length. Per figure 5, use appropriate flare union adapter at each end of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance manifold) so as to be physically stationary. See illustrations below.

Pressure Testing

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 pounds per square inch (3.5 kPa).

This appliance, as well as its individual shut-off valve, must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 pounds per square inch (3.5 kPa).

When checking appliance regulator function, make certain pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14 inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches of water column.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector directly to an external pipe thread. Connection requires flare union adapters.

I M P O R T A N T

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections were disturbed during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.

JGC1430 & JGC1536 specifications

Jenn-Air is renowned for its high-quality kitchen appliances, and among its notable offerings are the JGC1430 and JGC1536 gas cooktops. Both models stand out for their performance, elegance, and innovative features, catering to both everyday cooks and culinary enthusiasts.

The Jenn-Air JGC1430 is a 30-inch gas cooktop that combines functionality with style. It features four sealed burners, providing a variety of heat output options to accommodate different cooking needs. The two high-output burners are perfect for quickly boiling water or searing meats, while the two lower-output burners ensure even simmering for delicate sauces. The cooktop’s continuous cast-iron grates allow for smooth movement of pots and pans across the surface, enhancing the cooking experience.

On the other hand, the JGC1536 offers a 36-inch surface area, perfect for larger kitchens or those who require more cooking capacity. This model features five sealed burners, including dual burners that enable precision cooking with a wide range of heat settings. The additional burner provides flexibility when preparing multiple dishes simultaneously. Like the JGC1430, the JGC1536 is equipped with continuous grates and sturdy construction, ensuring durability and ease of use.

Both cooktops boast the innovative Jenn-Air performance technologies. The powerful flame technology delivers robust heat, allowing for efficient cooking and consistent results every time. The appliances also feature precise simmer settings, providing the ability to maintain low heat for extended cooking, which is ideal for sauces and delicate dishes. The oven-like design of the burners enhances heat distribution, ensuring that food is cooked evenly.

Another standout feature of both models is the easy-to-clean design. The sealed burners prevent spills from leaking underneath, while the smooth surface allows for effortless wiping down after cooking. Additionally, the sleek stainless steel finish adds a modern aesthetic to any kitchen.

Safety is a significant consideration in Jenn-Air design as well. Both models include features such as electronic ignition and flame failure detection, ensuring that the burners will automatically shut off if the flame is lost, providing peace of mind during use.

In conclusion, the Jenn-Air JGC1430 and JGC1536 gas cooktops exemplify the brand's commitment to quality, performance, and user-friendly design. With their powerful burners, innovative technology, and stylish aesthetics, these models are ideal choices for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience.
