8. GAS CONNECTION

Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the

manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8"

SAE (UNF 5/8" – 18) male flare connection. Always use a

backup wrench when connecting the gas supply line to the

gas inlet fitting. All completed connections should be

checked for leaks with a noncorrosive leak detector. (See

FIG. 6 – Gas inlet fitting may have a different orientation

than shown).

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure

regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than

13.5 inches water column, static (no load).

C. SECURING REFRIGERATOR

IN ENCLOSURE

The refrigerator is installed in the enclosure with eight

screws. Six screws are in the front frame and two are in the

plate on the rear. See FIG. 5.

FIG. 5

NOTE: Push refrigerator into enclosure until front frame is

tight against the cabinet. First, secure the frame to cabinet

with six screws. Second, install the two screws to the floor

at the rear of the refrigerator.

Failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator

in the enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and

cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage area or

ceiling and top of the refrigerator should be blocked. The

heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will become

trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot

and reducing the efficiency.

The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate

space for service and proper installation.

When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in

excess of 1/2 psig, the refrigerator and its individual

shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less

than or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated

from the gas supply piping by closing its individual manual

shutoff valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and con-

nection to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer

or distributor.
