Gas Hook-Up - DCS RDT-305 Installation Manual

GAS HOOK-UP

GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for
Natural Gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible
with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit
is not set for the gas supplied at the site.
NATURAL GAS
Connection: 1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8" dia. flex line.
LP GAS
Connection: 1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8 dia. flex line.
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum of 14" W.C. to the range regulator.
HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front for the
purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit. Make
sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or
ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the building's gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the
manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0" W.C. for natural gas or 12.0" for LP.
NOTE:
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved
by an approved certifying agency (AGA, CGA, or UL). Never use
a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat
may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
When hooking up the gas supply from range rear hard
pipe to wall hard pipe, installation length of flex line
between range/wall hard piping must accommodate range
being pulled from wall for cleaning or servicing purposes.
When range is pulled from wall, no strain should occur at
range or wall hard pipe connections (fig. 16).
