Product Description and Components

The Blue Hose gas connector for moveable appliances is composed of 304 stainless steel corrugated tubing covered with a tight weave stainless steel braid. The outside hose coating is an antimicrobial PVC coating that inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the connector. Rotational technology fittings on both ends of the connector rotate 360 degrees, greatly reducing stress at both connector ends. The Blue Hose is CSA certified to ANSI 221.69/CSA 6.16 standard for use with appliances that may or may not utilize casters and, under normal use, are moved regularly for service, positioning, or area cleanliness. Dormont’s Safety System consists of the Blue Hose® plus Dormont’s exclusive safety-based fittings:

• Safety Quik®: a combination shut-off valve and quick disconnect installed at the gas line that also prevents the user from turning on the gas while the appliance is disconnected. The Safety Quik replaces a manual gas shutoff ball valve. The Safety Quik includes a thermal shut-off when internal temperature reaches 250°F – 300°F (121°C – 149°C)
• SnapFast® QD: a one-handed push-to-connect quick disconnect fitting that can be installed at the gas line or appliance side. The SnapFast QD includes a thermal shut-off when the internal temperature exceeds 350°F (177°C).
• Standard Snap QD: a two-handed quick disconnect fitting that can be installed at the gas line or appliance side. The Standard Snap QD includes a thermal shut-off when the internal temperature exceeds 350°F (177°C).
• Swivel MAX®: a multi-plane rotational device that provides a full 360° range of motion that can be installed at the gas line, appliance side, or both. The increased range of motion reduces stress on the connector and allows the connector to be positioned closer to the wall, providing more kitchen aisle space.
• In addition, Dormont provides a Restraining Cable, which prevents the transmission of strain to the connector, and its patented Safety-Set, which ensures that cooking equipment is always positioned in the design-specified location and allows for fast installation. All or some of these components are included in this kit.

The Standard Snap QD can replace the SnapFast QD in any of the above configurations.

NOTICE
Please carefully consider your installation configuration and identify the relevant steps for installation before you begin your installation. Be sure that the gas connector to be used is the right length and type for the location and appliance to be served. Only one gas connector should be used per appliance. Refer to the additional install instructions and warnings provided with the Dormont SnapFast QD, Standard Snap QD, Safety Quik, Safety-Set, and Restraining Cable products.

NOTICE
In identifying the proper configuration for your installation, consideration should be given to the location of the connection endpoints for the gas supply and the appliance. Note that the location of the gas supply and appliance connection endpoints can vary greatly in each location and for each appliance. Dormont recommends that the gas supply manifold be located 30 to 42 inches from the floor. Any pipe tees should be pointed in the downward direction upon installation. To ensure that the appliance can be moved as close
as possible to the wall for maximum aisle space, the Blue Hose should be installed so that its two ends are offset to the side from each other (+/- 3″ offset is recommended) and parallel (never perpendicular) to both the wall and the appliance. See Figure A.

WARNING
Each appliance connected with a Blue Hose gas connector MUST have its own approved manual shutoff valve. If the appliance being connected does not yet have a manual shutoff valve, then the gas must be shut off at the main manifold shutoff valve and an approved manual shutoff valve MUST be installed. The main manifold shutoff valve also MUST be turned off if a manual shutoff valve is being replaced or installed on the gas supply manifold. Two 14″ adjustable wrenches and a pipe wrench are recommended as installation tools.

Blue Hose Installation Rights and Wrongs
WARNING
Upon completion, the Blue Hose gas connector MUST NOT BE kinked, twisted, or torqued, and the end fitting of the connector MUST NOT BE subjected to sharp bends. The addition of one or two Dormont Swivel Max multi-plane swivels can assist in eliminating sharp bends and kinks in your installation. Refer to the following “Rights and Wrongs” to assist in your installation.

RIGHTS & WRONGS

SHARP BENDS: Install Blue Hose gas connector for vertical traverse with a single, natural loop. Avoid sharp bends that strain and twist the connector to a point of early failure at the coupling. Always install the Blue Hose gas connector such that the end fittings are parallel (never perpendicular) to both the wall and appliance.
TWISTING : Couplings and gas connectors should be installed in the same vertical plane. Failure to do so causes torsional twisting and undue strain, which will cause premature failure.
FATIGUE: Maintaining the minimum or larger bending diameter between the couplings creates double bends causing work fatigue at the fittings.
R ESTRAINING CABLE: Install the restraining cable so that the connector is not kinked when the restraining cable is fully extended.

WARNING
ALWAYS turn off the manifold shutoff valve and the gas appliance before installation or disconnection of the gas connector and gas accessory devices. Ensure that the gas outlet is in the same room as the appliance and within 6 feet. Restraining cable is MANDATORY to limit the movement of gas appliances with casters during operation, cleaning, and servicing to prevent damage to the gas connector. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the restraining cable. The gas appliance MUST BE disconnected from the gas connector before maximum movement.

ALWAYS apply a gas-approved sealant or tape to male tapered pipe threads before mating with female tapered pipe threads. The final connection MUST BE tightened with wrenches to create a gas-tight joint. DO NOT overtighten or undertighten the connections. The final assembly MUST BE tested for leaks.

ONLY use thread sealant on the male pipe threaded end that mates with the female pipe threaded end of the Swivel MAX device. DO NOT USE thread tape and DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. The SnapFast QD, Standard Snap QD, and Safety Quik MUST BE oriented so that the gas enters the female coupling side and exits from the male nipple. FOLLOW THE FLOW DIRECTION ARROWS that are permanently marked on these gas accessory devices. NEVER insert foreign objects such as screwdrivers into the SnapFast QD, Standard Snap QD, and Safety Quik coupling as damage could occur.

DO NOT USE the SnapFast QD and Standard Snap QD with a dual-fed manifold gas inlet. Such an installation is dangerous and may result in injury, death, fire, explosion, gas leak, or property damage. SnapFast QD and Standard Snap QD ARE NOT to be used as the primary gas shutoff. The upstream manual shutoff valve MUST BE turned off before disconnecting the SnapFast QD or Standard Snap QD.

NOTICE
Remove the Blue Hose gas connector and all additional items, accessories, and parts from the Dormont Blue Hose Gas Connector Kit box or bag. Ensure you have all the necessary parts for your planned installation configuration. Dormont recommends installing the Safety-Set product to ensure that the appliance does not move during operation and always returns to the same operating position following service or maintenance. Refer to the separate instructions provided with the Safety Set. The Safety Set complies with NFPA codes 17A and 96. Dormont recommends installing one or two Swivel MAX swivels to allow for 360-degree multiplane movement of the Blue Hose extending mobility and connector life.

NOTICE
For all options make sure all connections have been tightened with wrenches and a leak test is performed.
