Gas Connection; Manual Shut-Off Valve; Connecting Gas & Electric; In Massachusetts - Viking VGCC530 Service Manual

Gas Connection

The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or
greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range
1
uses a / " (1.3 cm) ID NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all
2
pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
The range is designed specifi cally for natural gas or
liquid propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation,
verify that the model is compatible with the intended gas
supply.

Manual shut-off valve

This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas
service line before the appliance in the gas stream and
in a location where it can be reached quickly in the event
of an emergency.
Connecting Gas & Electric
Gas leak hazard. To avoid risk of personal injury
or death; leak testing of the appliance must
be conducted according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Before placing appliance in operation,
always check for gas leaks with soapy water solution.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS.
Connect gas and electric. Before placing appliance in
operation, always check for gas leaks. This must be
performed by your dealer, a qualifi ed licensed plumber,
or gas service company.

In Massachusetts

A "T" handle type manual valve must be installed in the
gas supply line to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be
performed by your dealer or a qualifi ed licensed plumber
or gas service company. Please provide the service
person with this manual before work begins.

Pressure Regulator

• 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.
External regulators are not required on this range
since a regulator is built into each unit at the factory.
Under no condition bypass this built-in regulator.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system.

General Information
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a
manometer, natural gas requires 5.0" W.C.P. and LP
gas requires 10.0" 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 range can
withstand a maximum input pressure of
(14.0" W.C.P.). If the line pressure is in excess of that
amount, a step down regulator will be required.

Flexible Connections

If the unit is to be installed with fl exible couplings and/
or quick-disconnect fi ttings, the installer must use a
heavy-duty AGA design-certifi ed fl exible connector of at
1
least / " (1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in
2
compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69.

In Canada

CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and
CAN 1-6.9 M79 quick disconnect devices for use with
gas fuel.
In Massachusetts
This appliance must be installed with a 36" (3-foot) long
fl exible gas connector.
