GAS CONNECTION
Make sure the connection point will be accessible with the cooktop
installed.
To enable the gas supply to be readily shut off by the customer, make sure
the connection is fitted with an isolating valve close to the cooktop.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures at or less than ½ p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure 20” W.C. (5 kPa). Minimum gas supply
pressure for regulator testing 5” W.C. Natural Gas / 12” W.C LP gas.
A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the
gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting
off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts, such shut-off devices should be
approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters).
Gas connection to the product must use the elbow supplied with a ⁄“
NPT external thread. The supplied gas pressure regulator must be installed
where it will be accessible for adjustment. The metal flexible hose used
must be new, CSA or UL-approved, and must have a ⁄” NPT external thread
on one end and a ½” NPT one on the other.
If connecting the gas with a flexible hose
Ensure the hose is long enough to allow for removal of cooktop for
servicing.
Make sure the connector is located as shown in step 5 CLEARANCE
DIMENSIONS.
The hose assembly must be with an Rp ½” (ISO 71) female thread
connection.
The hose assembly must be as short as practicable and comply with the
relevant requirements.
The hose must not be kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently
deformed.
The hose must not be near or in contact with any hot surfaces (e.g. base of
metal hotlplate, flue, or chassis of undercounter oven etc.)
