Pressure Regulator Location - Kenmore 79046629505 Installation Instructions Manual

Gas Supply - InstaJlation
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa) Natural
gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected
in series with the gas supply line. To access the regulator,
remove the drawer.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 era)of
water column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25
kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting.
The regulator is set for 4"(I 0,16 cm)water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure; the inlet pressure must
be at least 5"(12.60 cm)water column (1.25 kPa) Natural
gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for
10"(25,4 cm)water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure; the
inlet pressure must be at least 11 "(27,9 era)water column
(2.75 kPa).
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve (see Figure 11). This valve should be located
in the same room as the range and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.Open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator
may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./C.G.A.-
approved flexible metallic union-connected piping where
local codes permit use.
The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the
right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal location for
the main shutoff valve.
Connection to Pressure Regulator
The regulator is already installed on the appliance.
Do not make the connection too tight. The
regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator
resulting in a gas leak and possiblefire or explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:
I. manual shutoff valve (not supplied)
2. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
3. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
4. flexible connector (not supplied)
5. 1/2" flare union adapter (not supplied)
6. 1/2" nipple (not supplied)
7. pressure regulator (supplied)
The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be
I/2"(1,27 cm) or 3/4"(1.9 cm) solid pipe.
The user must know the location of the main shutoff
valve and have easy access to it.
When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow
sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for
cleaning or servicing.
NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched
between the wall and the range. To visually check,
remove the range drawer.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
