Step 4: Gas Requirements And Hookup - Thermador P24WK Installation Instructions Manual

Step 4: Gas Requirements and Hookup

Cooktops are shipped by the factory to operate on
natural gas. Verify the type of gas being used at
the installation site matches the type of gas used
by the appliance. If the location/job site requires
conversion from one type of gas to another, con-
tact the dealer where the unit was purchased or
contact Thermador (800/735-4328). The field con-
version kit for all Professional cooktops (PC series)
is Thermador Model PLPKIT. Obey all instructions
in PLPKIT for correct conversion of the gas regula-
tor and settings for the gas valves. Field conver-
sion must be done by qualified service personal
only.
Natural Gas Requirements:
Inlet Connection: 3/4" N.P.T. (Minimum 3/4"
dia. flex line.)
Supply Pressure: 6" to 14" water column.
Manifold Pressure: 5" water column
Propane Gas Requirements:
Inlet Connection: 3/4" N.P.T. (Minimum 3/4"
dia. flex line.)
Supply Pressure: 11" to 14" water column.
Manifold Pressure: 10" water column
HOOK UP
• A manual gas shut-off 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 interfere with the back of the unit.
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the
manual shut-off valve before connecting the
appliance.
• The gas supply connections should be made
by a competent technician and in accordance
with local codes or ordinances. In the absence
of a local code, the installation must conform
to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54-current issue.
• Install the gas pressure regulator (supplied) to
the manifold pipe. Ensure that the appliance
pressure regulator is set to 5" W.C. for natural
gas and 10" W.C. for propane gas, and that the
arrow points in the direction of the gas flow
towards the appliance. Connect the gas supply
line to the unit pressure regulator using a
3/4" flex gas line between the manual gas
shut-off valve and pressure regulator. (See Fig.
9.)
• Always use pipe dope or Teflon
pipe threads, and be careful not to apply
excessive pressure when tightening the fit-
tings.
• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Turn on gas and check supply line connections
for leaks using a soap solution. Do not use a
flame of any sort to check for leaks.
• All installer-supplied parts must conform to all
applicable codes.
