Jotul GF100 DV manual Gas Supply Connection, Leak test, Supply valve coupling, CODE 248CMR

Gas Supply Connection

The gas supply line connection is made to the valve just inside the left rear leg. The gas supply line should be 3/8" npt with a 1/2" diameter supply, or the appropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.

The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Canadian methods vary depending on local code.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL

CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST

COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE

NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR

CAN-B149.

All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock) and union, to be installed in the supply line, and in the same room as the appliance. This allows for the disconnection of the stove for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 19.

Figure 19. Supply valve coupling.

A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
