As of 7/11/90, the gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside the oven cavity. This regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer.

Natural gas regulators are preset for 3.7" W.C. (Water Column) (.92 kPa); propane gas regulators for 10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)

1.Locate 3/4" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.

2.Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.

3.Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body back (Fig. 12).

4.Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 12).

The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow (Fig. 12). The pressure regulator must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator is installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper operation.

A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause regulator to malfunction.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve. The thermocouple should be tightened a 1/4 turn past finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Overtightening may damage the thermocouple or safety magnet.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range should be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve until the range is ready for start-up.

These models are tailored for various cooking applications, ensuring versatility and reliability in any kitchen setting.

The Vulcan-Hart VG series features powerful, efficient burners that deliver consistent heat for optimal cooking performance. Each model's output varies based on its size, with the VG160 boasting the highest BTU output, capable of handling heavy-duty cooking requirements, while the smaller VG24 model suits establishments with limited space or lower volume cooking needs. Despite size differences, all models are designed to provide a high level of energy efficiency, which translates into lower operating costs for foodservice operators.

One of the standout features of the VG series is its heavy-duty construction. Built with stainless steel exteriors, these burners are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable, resisting corrosion and wear from daily use. The cast iron grates provide excellent heat retention and distribution, ensuring that food cooks evenly and efficiently. Additionally, the open burner design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, a critical factor in busy kitchens.

Technologically, the Vulcan-Hart VG series incorporates innovative features such as adjustable burner flames, allowing chefs to control heat levels precisely. This flexibility is essential for various cooking methods, from simmering sauces to boiling pasta. The series also includes models compatible with various gas types, ensuring that operators can choose what best fits their establishment's needs.

Safety is another priority within the VG series design. Each burner is equipped with a flame failure safety feature which automatically shuts off gas flow if the flame goes out. This enhances safety in high-pressure kitchen environments, providing peace of mind for operators and staff alike.

In summary, Vulcan-Hart VG48, VG160, VG36, VG24, and VG60 models are synonymous with performance, durability, and safety. They represent the best in commercial cooking technology, catering to a wide range of operational requirements while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
