Gas Hose Restraint - Blodgett BCT Series Installation Operation & Maintenance

If the appliance is mounted on casters, a commercial flex-
ible connector with a minimum of 3/4" (1.9 cm) inside di-
ameter must be used along with a quick connect device.
A restraint must be used to limit the movement of the ap-
pliance so that no strain is placed upon the flexible con-
nector. The restraint should be fastened to the base frame
of the oven as close to the flexible connector as possible.
It should be short enough to prevent any strain on the
connector. With the restraint fully stretched the connector
should be easy to install and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be attached
without damaging the building. DO NOT use the gas pip-
ing or electrical conduit for the attachment of the perma-
nent end of the restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or
cement block. On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag
screws into the studs of the wall.
WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any reason
it must be reconnected when the appliance is
returned to its original position.
