PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING
900 Series ovens are rate d from 20,000 to 50,000
BTU/Hr. (6.4 to 14.6 kW/Hr.) per section. Each
oven has been adjusted at the factory to operate
with the type of gas specified on the rating plate.

Inlet Pressure --- thepressure 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 the
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.
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, NFPA54/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).
