Step 6: Gas Requirements And Hookup - Thermador PRG364JDG Installation Manual

Step 6: Gas Requirements and Hookup

Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. As
shipped from the factory, units are configured for use
with only natural gas or propane (LP) gas. Make certain
the range matches the type of gas available at this
location. These ranges are NOT convertible between
different types of gas.
For installation of the appliance at high altitude, please
consult your local gas company for their recommendation
of the correct orifice sizes and any other necessary
adjustments that will provide proper gas combustion at
specified altitudes.
CAUTION:
When connecting unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the appliance.
The pressure of the gas supplied to the
appliance regulator must not exceed 14" water
column (34.9 mb).
NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS:
Inlet Connection: 3/4" (19mm) NPT external
1/2" (12.7mm) NPT internal
(Minimum 3/4" dia. flex line.)
Supply Pressure: 6" min. to 14" max. water column.
(14.9 to 34.9 mb)
Manifold Pressure: 5" water column (12.5 mb)
PROPANE GAS REQUIREMENTS:
Inlet Connection: 3/4" (19mm) NPT external
1/2" (12.7mm) NPT internal
(Minimum 3/4" dia. flex line.)
Supply Pressure: 11" min. to 14" max. water col-
umn. (27.4 mb to 34.9 mb)
Manifold Pressure: 10" water column (24.9 mb)
WARNING:
Do not remove the back cover of the range. It is
for an authorized servicer access only.

Hook Up
The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent
technician and in accordance with local codes or
ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation
must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54- current issue.
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to
the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for
the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line
must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the
gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before
connecting the appliance.
The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator that
has been permanently mounted inside the range.
Gas Line Connection

IGURE
• Use 3/4" (19mm) flex line to connect between the gas
supply and the appliance inlet pipe, which exits at the
rear, lower right of the appliance. The appliance pipe
connection has a 3/4" (19mm) NPT external thread and
a 1/2" (13mm) NPT internal thread (see Figure 10).
Use caution to avoid crimping the 3/4" (19mm) flex line
when making bends. Suggested length of the flex line
is 48" (1219mm); however, check local codes for
requirements before installation.
