Figure 20 - Gas Connection
Before connecting the flexible gas line to
the gas control valve, a sediment trap must
be included between them. It must extend
down 3 inches beyond the center of the pipe
(See Figure 20).
Prepare incoming approved gas line with
teflon tape or pipe joint compound (Check
with local building codes).
WARNING: All gas piping
and connections must be tested
for leaks after the installation is
completed.
After ensuring that the gas valve
is on, apply a soap and water
solution to all connections and
joints. If bubbles appear, leaks
can be detected and corrected.
Do not use an open flame for leak
testing and do not operate any
appliance if a leak is detected.
Complete your gas installation by connect-
ing incoming gas line with flexible gas line.
Secure tightly with wrench but do not over-
tighten. Replace burner pan.
CAUTION: Compounds used
on threaded joints of gas piping
shall be resistant to the action of
Liquefied Petroleum (LP or pro-
pane), and should be applied
lightly to ensure excess sealant
does not enter the gas line.
GAS LINE HOOK-UP
A manual shut-off valve must be included
within (6') six feet of the appliance’s gas
supply system. For your convenience, it
may be desirable to install the shut-off valve
outside the appliance's enclosure where it
can be accessed with a key through a wall as
shown in Figure 18.
Route an approved gas line towards the
appliance coming in from any direction (see
Figure 19).
A flexible gas line long enough to connect
the incoming approved gas line with the gas
control valve will be required, along with a
sediment trap.
The approximate location of the gas control
valve inlet is indicated in Figure 19.
Note:
Do NOT kink flexible gas line.
