Gas Range Installation
Gas Supply Requirements
GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE
•
Natural Gas: Standard orifices are set for 5" (12.5 mb)
WC. A natural gas pressure regulator is installed.
•
LP Gas: Standard orifices are set for 10" (25 mb) WC.
An LP gas pressure regulator is installed.
•
Gas Supply Pressure: The maximum gas supply
pressure to the regulator should never exceed 14"
(34.9 mb) WC; .5 psi (3.5 kPa) for natural and LP gas.
The minimum line pressure is 7" (17.5 mb) WC for
natural gas and 11" (27.4 mb) WC for LP gas.
•
Gas Pressure Regulator: To control and maintain a
uniform gas pressure in the gas manifold, the unit must
be used with a gas pressure regulator. The burner
orifices, etc. are sized for the gas pressure delivered by
the supplied regulator. Do not remove the regulator.
The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator
should never exceed 14" (34.9 mb) WC; .5 psi (3.5 kPa).
GAS LEAK TESTING
Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connec-
tions for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a
leak. If a leak appears, shut off the gas valve and adjust
connections. Then check connections again. Clean all the
detergent solution from the range.
Never test for a gas leak with a match or other flame.
