PRESSURE REGULATION AND TESTING
MT3855G-G ovens are ra ted at 150,000 BTU/Hr.
(43.9 kW) (158 MJ) E ach oven has been adjusted
at the factory to operate with the type of gas speci-
fied on the rating plate attached to the left side of
the control panel.
Each oven is supplied with a regulator to maintain
thepropergaspressure.The regulator is essen-
tial to the proper operation of the oven and
should not be removed. It is preset to provide the
oven with 3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa) for natural gas an d
10.5” W.C. (2.50 kPa) for Propane while the flame
is on. The regulator is located on top of the gas
valve, between the manual shutoff and solenoid
valves.
DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR
WHERE THE OVEN CONNECTS TO THE GAS
SUPPLY UNLESS T HE SUPPLY E XCEEDS THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE.
NO TE: The minimum g as supply pre ssu re t o the
oven is 4.5” W.C. (1.1 kPa) for natural gas
and 11.0” W.C. (2.74 k Pa) for Propane gas.
The maximum gas s upply pressure to th e
oven is 10.5” W .C. (2.61 kPa) for natural gas
and 13” W.C. (3.2 k Pa) for Propane g as.
Installation must conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, w ith 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).
