GAS CONNECTION
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
Tri-Star appliances use a ¾" NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
This installer supplied valve must be in the gas service line ahead of the appliance regulator in the gas
stream and in a position accessible in the event of an emergency.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe
and efficient operation, since service pressures may fluctuate on local demand. A pressure regulator is
packed inside every
Bakers Pride gas appliance.
Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the appliance warranty.
The regulators supplied along with Bakers Pride appliances, will have ¾" inlet/outlet openings and are
adjusted at the factory for 5" WC (natural gas) or 10" WC (propane gas) depending on customer's
ordering instructions.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only
withstand a maximum pressure of ½'' psi (14" WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down
regulator will be required.
The arrow shown on the bottom of the regulator body shows the gas flow direction, it should point
downstream to the appliance. The red air vent cap on the top is part of the regulator and should not be
removed.
Any adjustments to the regulator should be made by qualified service personnel only with the proper
equipment.
CONNECTIONS
Please check installer supplied intake pipes visually and / or blow them with compressed air to clear
any dirt particles, threading chips or any other foreign matter before installing a service line. When gas
pressure is applied, these particles could clog orifices. All connections must be sealed with a joint
compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be tested with a soapy water solution before
lighting any pilots.
INITIAL PILOT LIGHTING
CAUTION: When lighting pilots and checking for leaks, do not stand with your
face close to the combustion chamber.
All
Bakers Pride appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively matching them
to sea level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper operation may be necessary on
installation to meet local conditions, low gas characteristics; correct possible problems caused by rough
handling or vibration during shipment and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel.
These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and / or dealer and are not covered by our
warranty.
Check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy water solution before lighting any pilots.
