disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa)(14" WCP).
• Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping
system by closing manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa)
(14" WCP).
• Gas supply pressure for checking regulator setting
must be at least 1" WCP above manifold pressure
shown on rating label.
• Must use pressure regulator supplied with cooktop.

Gas Connection

Connect gas supply to regulator using hard pipe or a
flexible connector. Pressure regulator supplied with this
appliance has a ½ " NPT female connection.
• A manual shutoff, not supplied with cooktop, must be
installed in an accessible location outside of cooktop.
• Use joint compound that is resistant to action of
propane gas on all male pipe threads.
