FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or
other fl ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Connect the hot plate to the main gas supply line at
the rear of the hot plate. The piping should be a mini-
mum of 3/4" IPS supply pipe for a single hot plate.
A 3/4" NPT manual gas valve is shipped with each
single hot plate for fi eld installation. The required gas
pressure for proper operation of each hot plate is 4"
water column for natural gas and 10" water column
for Propane gas.
In-line pressure regulators are not supplied by
Keating. They are to be provided and installed by oth-
ers as directed by local codes.
NOTE: If more than one gas hot plate is on the same
supply line, you may require a larger line. Consult your
local gas company to assure adequate volume and
pressure. Refer to serial plate for proper gas require-
ments for your particular model.
