Connect the range to the gas supply
Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the
use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection.
The installation shall be made with a connector that complies
with ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 and using a quick disconnect
device complying with ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9 (
If disconnection of the restraint chain is necessary, ensure the
restraint is reconnected when the appliance is returned to its
original installed position.
NEVER
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully
align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the
connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap
pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe
threads.
A.
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
B.
Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid
damage. When installing the range from the front,
remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
C.
Install male ½’’ or ¾’’ flare union adapters to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
D.
Position the range to permit connection at the shut-off
valve.
E.
Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks in the system. Use a product
specifically manufactured for leak detection. Leak
testing of the appliance should be conducted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa)
to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of ½ psig
(3.5 kPa) or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shut-off valve.
