2. CONNECT THE RANGE TO
Shut off the range gas supply valve before
removing the old range and leave it off until the
new hook=up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International=certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new
range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe
joint sealant on all external threads.
O
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut=off valve,
taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it
from turning.
GAS
_ Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to the 1/2"
NPT internal thread at inlet of presure regulator.
Use a backup wrench on the presure regulator
fitting to prevent damage.
_ Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut=off valve.
O
When all connections have been made, be sure
all range controls are in the off position and then
on the range gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks
by using a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections.
kWARNING!
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS,
WARNING!
Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig(3.5kPa).
