NOTICE
Please carefully consider your installation configuration and identify the relevant steps for
installation before you begin your installation . Be sure that the gas connector to be used is
the right length and type for the location and appliance to be served . Only one gas connector
should be used per appliance .
NOTICE
In identifying the proper configuration for your installation, consideration should be given to the
location of the connection end points for the gas supply and the appliance . Note that the loca-
tion of the gas supply and appliance connection end points can vary greatly in each
location and for each appliance . Dormont
recommends that the gas supply manifold be
located 30 to 42 inches from the floor . Any
pipe tees should be pointed in the down-
ward direction upon installation . To ensure
that the appliance can be moved as close
as possible to the wall for maximum aisle
space, the Blue Hose should be installed so
that its two ends are offset to the side from
each other (+/- 3" offset is recommended)
and parallel (never perpendicular) to both the
wall and the appliance . See Figure A .
WARNING
!
Each appliance connected with a Blue Hose gas connector MUST have its own approved
manual shutoff valve . If the appliance being connected does not yet have a manual shutoff
valve, then the gas must be shut off at the main manifold shutoff valve and an approved man-
ual shutoff valve MUST be installed . The main manifold shutoff valve also MUST be turned off
if a manual shutoff valve is being replaced or installed on the gas supply manifold .
Two 14" adjustable wrenches are recommended as installation tools .
