Gas Installation Requirements
Before connecting this appliance to gas piping system,
confirm that installation meets requirements of local
codes or, in absence of local codes, National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition.
Installation of appliances designed for manufactured
(mobile) home installation must conform with the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or, when such standard is not
applicable the Standard for Manufactured Home
Installation, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A-Latest Edition,
with local codes, or the standard CAN/CSA-Z240MH,
"Mobile Homes", and the local code where applicable.
In Canada, installation of this appliance is to be in
accordance with CAN-B149.1 or B149.2 installation code
for gas appliances.
When installed in mobile housing, installation is to be in
accordance with CSA standard Z241.1 gas equipped
mobile housing.
Gas Supply Pressure
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, maximum gas supply
pressure must not exceed 14 " WCP.
• The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
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).
• The appliance must be isolated from gas supply
piping system by closing its individual 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.
Manifold Connection
Pressure regulator and gas manifold must be connected
to cooktop before connecting gas supply. Depending on
installation requirements, install pressure regulator inside
or outside of burner box. Gas supply may enter through
bottom or right side of cooktop. If street ell or pressure
regulator is attached directly to manifold, manifold must
be removed from cooktop. See appropriate section that
follows for connection procedure.
• 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.
• Use supplied pressure regulator only.
Pressure Regulator Connection
Pressure regulator has 2 ½-inch NPT inlets. Remove plug
from bottom inlet of pressure regulator to create 90°
connection. Remove plug from side inlet of pressure
regulator to create a straight connection. Locate pressure
regulator according to gas supply location.
• If gas supply is located on side of cooktop, screw
pressure regulator onto side inlet of gas regulator.
• Do not over tighten regulator when attaching to gas
manifold pipe or hardpipe. Overtightening may
crack regulator.
• Support regulator when installing gas supply.
Manifold to Street Ell
A street ell is a 90° gas pipe fitting with a male NPT
thread on one end and a female NPT thread on other end.
To connect cooktop manifold to pressure regulator using
street ell, remove gas manifold from cooktop. Street ell
does not clear burner box when screwing onto manifold.
When street ell is used, pressure regulator is attached
outside bottom of burner box.
1. Place cooktop on work surface, and remove grates,
burner bowls, and burner control knobs from cooktop.
2. Remove 2 screws securing top to remove top.
3. Remove knockout in bottom of cooktop.
4. Remove manifold cover.
5. Remove 3 screws securing manifold to remove
manifold.
• 1 of 3 screws located in front of burner box.
6. Attach street ell to manifold.
7. Reassemble manifold and cooktop.
8. Attach pressure regulator to street ell through bottom
of cooktop.
