Electrical & Gas Requirements - Viking 7 Series Installation Manual

Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements - Gas Ranges
Check your national and local codes regarding
this unit. This range requires 120VAC/60 Hz; 4 ft.
(121.9 cm), 3-wire cord with grounded 3-prong
plug attached to unit. See "Electrical
Connection" section for grounding instructions.
Must be fused seperately from any other circuit.
Electrical Requirements - Dual Fuel
Ranges
This product is manufactured with the neutral
terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire,
agency approved, power supply kit with closed
loop terminals rated per the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition (See Rating
chart below). If local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral, use a 4-wire, agency
approved, power supply kit with closed loop
terminals rated per the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition (See Rating chart
below).

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, personal injury or death;
verify electrical power is turned off at the
breaker box and gas supply is turned off
until the range is installed and ready to
operate, installation by an authorized
installer only.

Gas Connection
This range has a 3/4" (1.9 cm) ID NPT
Sch40) inlet connection. For optimal
performance of the VGR748 Ranges, the
connector from the gas supply (service) line
should also be 3/4" ID. For all other
models, the gas supply (service) line may be
reduced, but not to less than ½" (1.3 cm) ID
NPT. We recommend the use of our 3/4"
GAS CONNECTOR KIT, part no. GCKVGR.
Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to
LP gas
The range is designed specifically for
natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas.
Before beginning installation verify that
the model is compatible with the
intended gas supply.
Manual shut-off valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed
in the gas service line before the appliance
in the gas stream and in a location where it
can be reached quickly in the event of an
emergency. Any opening behind the range
shall be sealed.
In Massachusetts: A "T" handle type
manual valve must be installed in the gas
supply line to the appliance.
Pressure Regulator:
• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking
equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand. External
regulators are not required on this range
since a regulator is built into each unit at
the factory. Under no condition bypass
this built-in regulator.
Electrical & Gas Requirements
Flexible Connections:
• Manifold pressure should be checked with
a manometer, natural gas requires 5.0" If the unit is to be installed with flexible
W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0" W.C.P. couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings,
Incoming line pressure upstream from the the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA
regulator must be 1" W.C.P. higher than design-certified flexible connector of at least

In Canada:
• The appliance must be disconnected from connectors for gas appliances and CAN

In Massachusetts:
installed with a 36" (3-foot) long flexible
gas connector.
