CASTER EQUIPPED HOT PLATES
Hot plates mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not supplied by Vulcan) that complies
with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69•CSA 6.16 and a quick-
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas
Fuel, ANSI Z21.41•CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate means must be provided to limit movement of the
appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping
to limit appliance movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the hot plate.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the hot plate to its installation position.
If the hot plate is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the hot plate
be re-leveled front to back and side to side.
