PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING
Each section of the 1060-B series oven is rated at
120,000 BTU per hour (35.2 kW). The 1060-BL se-
ries ovens are rated at 85,000 BTU per hour (24.9
kW). At full demand, each section 1060-B requires
120 cubic feet per hour (3.2 m

cubic feet per hour (1.3 m

justed at the factory to operate with the type of gas
specified on the rating plate.

D Inlet Pressure --- the pressure of the gas before
it reaches the oven.
D Manifold Pressure --- the pressure of the gas
as it enters the main burner(s).
D Min --- the minimum pressure recommended to
operate the oven.
D Max --- the maximum pressure at which t he
manufacturer warrants the oven’s operation.
Each oven is supplied with a regulator to maintain
the proper gas pressure. The regulator is essen-
tial to the proper operation of the oven and
must be installed. It is preset to provide the oven
with 3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa) for natural gas and 10.5”
W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane at the manifold.
DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR
WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS
SUPPLY UNLESS THE SUPPLY EXCEEDS THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE.
Due to the decrease in oxygen at higher eleva-
tions, above 2000’ , the unit may need to be re-
rated. (The orifice size may need to be adjusted to
accomodate different air pressures at higher
elevations.) If not rerated, incomplete combustion
may occur releasing Aldehydes and CO or Carbon
Monoxide. Any of these are unacceptable and
may be hazardous to the health of the operator.
Prior to connecting the oven, gas lines should be
thoroughly purged of all metal filings, shavings,
pipe dope, and other debris. After connection, the
oven should be checked for correct gas pressure.
Installation must conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 ---Latest Edition,
the Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-
B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/
CGA-B149.2 as applicable.
The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressuresinexcessof1/2psig(3.45kPa).
The oven must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas piping system at test pressures equal or less
than 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).
