Cabinet back 8.0 (20.4) 8.0 (20.4)

Cabinet Sides 2.0 (5.0) 0.0 (0.0)

1.4. Gas Connection(s)

Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas compa ny or, in North America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary am ount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C. (24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0 ” W.C. (32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.

NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Supplying incorrect

gas will cause improper operation. Contact your Dealer for another gas type for the appliance.

1.7. Final Gas Connection

A properly installed gas supply system will deliver adequate pressure, between 7 and 8 inches w.c. (1.75- 2.0 kPa, 17.5-20.0 mbars) for natural gas, or 11 to 12 inches w.c. (2.7-3.0 kPa, 27.0-30.0 mbars) for propane to all appliances connected to the line, operating at full demand.

1.7.1. Regulator Assembly

An adequate gas supply is important for the appliance to operate properly. Undersized lines or lowpressures will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A steady supply pressure between 7” and 8” w.c. (1.75-2.0 kPa, 17.5-20 mbars) for natural gas or 11” to 12” (2.7-3.0 kPa, 27-30 mbars) for propane gas is required. With all gas appliances operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all gas appliances should not show any appreciable drop. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural and 10% on propane gas will create pilot problems and affect burner operating characteristics. Contact your gas company for correct supply line sizes. After connection, a certified gas service agent should check all newly installed equipment for correct gas pressure. The unit should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. Check the gas type on the Data plate; see section 1.1 of this manual.
