Gas Connection; Gas Pressure - Jøtul Allagash GF3 DVII Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Gas Connection

NOTE: IF THE OPTIONAL BLOWER KIT (# 129161) IS
TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE
INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY
LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR
AS POSSIBLE. USE OF A 90° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE
VALVE TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE FOR
THE BLOWER. See Figure 15.
The gas supply line connection is made to the
valve just inside the left rear leg. The Gas supply line
should be 3/8" or 1/2" diameter, or the appropriate
size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve
regardless of the input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S., however,
Canadian methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A
LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER OR
GAS-FITTER WHEN INSTALLED IN THE COMMON-
WEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
All codes require: a gas shutoff valve (gas cock)
and union, to be installed in the supply line, and in
the same room as the appliance. This allows for the
disconnection of the stove for servicing and mainte-
nance. See Figure 15.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH CODE 248 CMR.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (for propane units be sure to
use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on
gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water
solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page
22 of this manual or on the stove's rating plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a
gas odor is detected immediately turn gas control
knob to the OFF position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest
for any gas leaks.

Gas Pressure

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and
safe operation of the Allagash gas stove. It is
important that the correct pressure is established at
the time of the installation. Proper gas pressure
provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance
and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas
control valve on the stove is equipped with pressure
test points for gauge connections. The gauge
connections are located on the front of the valve
under the On/Off/Pilot- knob. See Fig. 16. Gauge
connections are identified by:
• E for inlet or supply pressure ( the amount of gas
coming to the valve.)
• A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that
is coming out of the valve to the burner.)
