The proper sizing and installation of the gas connection is important for the machine to operate within its design specifications. In some installations, the gas supply may not be sufficient enough to allow all the gas equipment to operate properly at peak loads; or when other equipment with a high BTU/hr. input requirement is operating. The connection to the machine becomes even more important in this type of location.
Flexible gas connectors with quick disconnect or swivel fittings (when used) and gas connectors beyond the length necessary will reduce the BTU/hr. flow capacity to the machine.
Note: Do not use corrugated stainless steel tubing for commercial gas equipment supply connections.
Note: A straight gas connection is the ideal condition for the rated BTU/hr. flow capacity of the connector. If a straight connection is not possible and a flexible gas connector is used, do not twist, kink or excessively flex the

connector beyond a U shape. Flexing the gas connector as described will restrict gas flow or may damage the connector.
Changing a flexible gas connector may raise the BTU/hr. flow capacity enough to allow the machine to operate within its design specifications. (i.e. Removing the quick disconnect fitting, installing a shorter gas connector or installing a larger diameter gas connector.)
An alternative may be to move the equipment to a different gas supply location in the kitchen. (i.e. Closer to the main supply into the kitchen or away from other equipment with high BTU/hr. input requirements.)
