SECTION B - GAS FLOW
The home gas supply is connected to the range at the
pressure regulator located at the rear of the range.
The pressure regulator has two outlets; one is connected
to the manifold pipe, the other to the oven safety valve.The
outlet to the oven safety valve is equipped with a manual
shut-off valve so that gas to the oven safety valve may be
turned off at the regulator.
The gas travels from the other outlet of the pressure
regulator through a supply tube to the manifold pipe.
The manifold pipe is a rigid steel pipe used to distrib-
ute gas to the four top burner valves.
The top burner valves are mounted to the manifold pipe
and are used to control the gas flow to the top burners.
The valve goes from closed to completely open by manu-
ally rotating the valve stem from 0 to 270 angular de-
grees. Gas flow goes from zero to maximum flow at 90
degrees, and from maximum to minimum as the valve
stem is turned from 90 to 270 degrees. When the top
burner valve is turned on, gas passes through the valve
into the supply tube connecting the sealed burner.
