Rigid Connections; Flexible Couplings & Connectors; Manual Pilot Valve; Testing And Adjustments - U.S. Range "REGAL"SERIES RADIANT CHAR-BROILERS, (RBA) RBA Series Installation And Operation Manual

INSTALLATION Continued
WARNING Failure to install a pressure regulator will void
the equipment warranty!

Rigid Connections

Double-check any installer-supplied intake pipes visually
and clear any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign
matter before installing in a service line. Those particles will
clog orifices when gas pressure is applied.
WARNING All connections must be sealed with a joint
compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be
tested with a soapy solution before lighting any pilots!
Flexible Couplings & Connectors.
If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or
quick disconnect fittings, the installer must use an AGA
design-certified commercial flexible connector or at least
3/4" NPT (with suitable strain relief's) in compliance with
the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.69 /CSA 6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices
for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 / CSA 6.9. Domestic
connectors are not suitable!

Manual Pilot Valve

All burners are equipped with constant-burning pilots.
These should be manually lighted immediately after the
gas is turned on and the system is checked for leaks. Pilots
can be reached with a long match or taper down from the
top if the grates and radiants have not yet been installed, or
through the observation/adjustment openings in the valve
cover between the burner valve knobs. These openings also
contain the pilot valves, which are screwdriver adjustable.

Testing and Adjustments

Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy solution
before lighting any pilots. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting open flame beside a new
connection is not only dangerous, but will often miss small
leaks that a soapy solution would find.
All U.S. Range appliances are adjusted and tested before
leaving the factory, effectively matching them to sea
level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure
proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet
local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude;
variations in gas characteristics, to correct possible problems
caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and
are to be performed only by qualified service personnel.
These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer,
installer and/or dealer and are not covered by the U.S. Range
warranty.
