INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the range gas supply valve before

removing the old range and leave it off until the

new hook-up has been completed.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,

the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal

appliance connector should be used unless local

codes require a hard-piped connection.
NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new

range.
To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint

sealant on all external threads.

A

Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter 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.

B

Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2”

NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator.

Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator

fitting to prevent damage.

C

Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to

the adapter on the range. Position range to permit

connection at the shut-off valve.

D

When all connections have been made, be sure

all range controls are in the off position and turn

on the main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may

occur in your system and result in a dangerous

situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell

alone.

Check all gas connection joints and fittings for

leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid,

then wipe off.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and

install an UL approved gas detector. Install and

use in accordance with Installation instructions.

DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS

LEAKS.

WARNING!

Isolate the range from the gas supply system by

closing its individual shut-off valve during any

pressure testing of the gas supply system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2” psig(3.5kPa).
