GAS CONNECTION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA or UL approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Note: The specification of the connector of the whole machine delivered is 1/2”-14NPT

All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action of NATURAL gas.
The oven is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for NATURAL.
The model/serial rating plate, located on the back of the oven, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

1. Manual Shut-off Valve (fig. 6.1):
   A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters). This valve should be located in the same room as the oven and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing (in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency).
   Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

2. Pressure Regulator:
   a) All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand.
   b) The oven is suitable for the use of natural gas.
   c) Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer; NATURAL gas requires 4.0” W.C.P..
   Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator.
   The regulator used on this oven can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14.0” W.C.P). If the line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step- down regulator will be required.
   PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION
   d) The appliance, its individual shut-off valve, and pressure regulator must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
   e) 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 pressure equal to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).

3. Flexible Connections:
   If local codes permit, CSA design-certified, flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting this oven to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the oven. The pressure regulator has 3/8” NPT female pipe threads.You will need to determine the fittings required, depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shutoff valve.

4. Rigid Pipe Connections:
   If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection to the oven. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so oven will be level and in line.
   • Use joint compounds and gaskets that are resistant to action of natural gas on all male pipe threads.
   • Do not over tighten gas fitting when attaching to pressure regulator. Over tightening may crack regulator.

5. Leak Testing:
   IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted as follows:
   • After final gas connection is made, turn on manual gas valve and test all connections in gas supply piping and appliance for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. During this test all appliance gas valves have to be closed.
   • In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury , never use a Iighted match. If a leak is present, tighten joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest connection for leak.
