Hookup To Gas Supply; Step 6: Hookup - DCS RGSC-305SS Installation Manual

STEP 6: HOOKUP

A manual valve is installed in an accessible location from the front for the purpose of shutting off the
gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply
is turned off before connecting the appliance.
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved by CSA, AGA, CGA OR UL. Only use a
metal supply hose, as the heat may cause a rubber hose to melt and develop leaks.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified 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 223.1-1988, latest edition.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the building's gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa.)
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator
should be at least 7.0"W.C. for natural gas or 12.0" for LP.
When hooking up the gas supply from range rear hard pipe to wall hard pipe, installation length of
flex line between range/wall hard piping must accommodate the range being pulled from wall for
cleaning or servicing purpose. When range is pulled from wall, no strain should occur at range or wall
hard pipe connections (See Fig. 12 below).
