for turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance.

If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a
combination of pipe fittings must be used
to obtain an in-line connection to the
cooktop. All strains must be removed from
the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be
level and in line.

The regulator must be checked at a mini-
mum 1-inch (2.5 cm) water column above
the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for opera-
tion and checking the regulator setting:
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing Above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
(14 inches (35.6 cm)) W.C. (gauge)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Testing Below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (14
inches (35.6 cm)) W.C. (gauge), Or
Lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3 5 kPa).
