Gas Supply Connection
The gas supply line connection is made to the valve just
inside the left rear leg. The gas supply line should be 3/8"
npt with a 1/2" diameter supply, or the appropriate size
to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless
of the input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Canadian
methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock) and
union, to be installed in the supply line, and in the same
room as the appliance. This allows for the disconnection
of the stove for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 19.
Figure 19. Supply valve coupling.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH
CODE 248CMR.
Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions on the inside
back cover of this manual or on the stove’s rating
plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas
odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to
the OFF position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for
any gas leaks.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and
sealing compounds. For propane units be sure to use
compounds that are propane resistant. Turn on gas
supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution.
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
