Flexible metal appliance connector: If
local codes permit, a new CSA
design-certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible
metal appliance connector is
recommended for connecting range to
the gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe
thread nipple is needed for connection to
pressure regulator connection fitting. Do
not kink or damage the flexible metal
tubing when moving the range.
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be
equipped with a manual shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same
room as the range and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and
closing. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range. Do not block
access to shutoff valve.

Pressure regulator: The gas pressure
regulator supplied with this range must
be used. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for proper
operation:
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure:
11 inches (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure:
14 inches (35.6 cm) WCP
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure:
5 inches (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure:
14 inches (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not
sure about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi
gauge (3.5 kPa) [14" (35.6 cm) WCP] —

shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(3.5 kPa) [14" (35.6 cm) WCP] or lower —
The range must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

install range.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
