The proper sizing and installation of the gas
connection is important for the machine to
operate within its design specifications. In
some installations, the gas supply may not be
sufficient enough to allow all the gas equipment
to operate properly at peak loads; or when
other equipment with a high BTU/hr. input
requirement is operating. The connection to
the machine becomes even more important in
this type of location.
Flexible gas connectors with quick disconnect
or swivel fittings (when used) and gas connectors
beyond the length necessary will reduce the
BTU/hr. flow capacity to the machine.
Note: Do not use corrugated stainless steel
tubing for commercial gas equipment
supply connections.
Note: A straight gas connection is the ideal
condition for the rated BTU/hr. flow
capacity of the connector. If a straight
connection is not possible and a
flexible gas connector is used, do not
twist, kink or excessively flex the
connector beyond a U shape. Flexing
the gas connector as described will
restrict gas flow or may damage the
connector.
Changing a flexible gas connector may raise
the BTU/hr. flow capacity enough to allow the
machine to operate within its design
specifications. (i.e. Removing the quick
disconnect fitting, installing a shorter gas
connector or installing a larger diameter gas
connector.)
An alternative may be to move the equipment
to a different gas supply location in the kitchen.
(i.e. Closer to the main supply into the kitchen
or away from other equipment with high
BTU/hr. input requirements.)

The generator is equipped with a factory-
preset pressure regulator. Natural gas
pressure regulators are preset for 2.5" W.C.
(0.62 kPa). Propane gas pressure regulators
