Gas Connection; Pressure Regulator - Fisher & Paykel OR36SDPWGX Installation Instructions Manual

2
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. Sea-
lant on all pipe joints must be resistant to the action of LP/Propane gas.
The range is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certifi ed by CSA Inter-
national for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion.
The model/serial rating plate, located below the bottom drawer, has information on the
type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas avai-
lable, check with the local gas supplier. See page from 17 to 20 for L.P. gas conversion
instructions.
1. Manual Shut-off Valve
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 Mas-
sachusetts 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 range 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 effi cient operation, since service pressure
may fl uctuate with local demand.
Before installing the regulator mount the 1/2" NPT (conical) male connector to the
regulator (see picture 2.2).
Gasket supplied has to be placed between 1/2" NPT (conical) connector/extension
pipe male pipe fi tting (see picture 2.3).
The regulator supplied with this range must be installed before any gas connections
are made.
Use supplied pressure regulator only.
