Make Gas Connection
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP
gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector
adapters (see C and G in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
4. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in a position
where you can reach the regulator access cap.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not
make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the
connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas
leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when
tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP
gas.
Do not use TEFLON
®
tape. You will need to determine the fittings
required depending on your installation.
