Gas Hook-Up - DCS RGTC-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 specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with
the 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 must 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 the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI 223.1.
CAUTION:
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the building's 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 (CSA or UL).
Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic mate-
rial, 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. 17).
