Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the Na-

•
tional Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to installa-

tion codes for gas burning appliances and equipment standard CAN/CGA-B149.1 or

the Propane installation code CAN/CGA-B149.2 as applicable.

A manual gas shut off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the unit

•

and gas pressure regulator for safety and ease in servicing.
The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed on the unit prior to connecting

•
the equipment to the gas line. Failure to install a regulator could be potentially hazard­ous and will void warranty.

The unit and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

•

piping system during any pressure testing for that system at test pressures in excess

of 1/2 PSI.

The unit must be isolated from gas supply piping system, by closing its individual

•

manual shut off valve during and pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at

test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 PSI.

INSTALLATION

RATING PLATE: Information on this plate in-

cludes the model, serial number, BTU/hour in-

put of the burners, operating gas pressure in
inches W.C, and whether the unit is oriced for
natural or propane gas. When communicating
with the factory about a unit or requesting for
special parts or information, rating plate data
is essential for proper identication.

EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED
TO THE TYPE OF GAS IDENTIFIED ON THE
RATING PLATE!

CLEARANCES: The unit area must be kept

free and clear of all combustibles.

with unit and will have a 3/4” inlet/outlet open­ings and are adjusted at the factory for 5” W.C.
(natural gas) or 10” W.C. (propane gas) de­pending on customer’s order. Failure to install
the pressure regulator will void warranty.
The arrow shown on the bottom of the reg­ulator body shows the gas ow direction, it

should point downstream to the unit. The red

air vent cap on the top is part of the regulator

and should not be removed.

CONNECTIONS: please check installer sup­plied intake pipes visually and or blow them
with compressed air to clear any dirt particles,

threading chips or any other foreign mat­ter before installing a service line. When gas
pressure is applied these particles could clog
orices. All connections must be sealed with
a joint compound suitable for LP gas and all

connections must be tested with a soapy wa-

ter solution before lighting any pilots.

GAS CONNECTION: The gas supply (ser­vice) line must be the same size or greater
then the inlet line of the unit. Use a 3/4” NPT

inlet. Sealant on all pip joints must be resistive

or LP gas. Manifold pressure is 5.0” W.C. for
natural gas or 10.0” for propane gas. Manifold
size 3/4” NPT specify type of gas and eleva-

tion if over 2000 ft.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE: this installer

supplied valve must be in the gas service line
ahead of the unit regulator in the gas stream

and in a position accessible in the event of an

emergency.

PRESSURE REGULATOR: Commercial

cooking equipment must have a pressure reg­ulator on the incoming service for safe and ef­cient operation, since service pressure may
uctuate on local demand. Regulator included

AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION: The area in
front of, around and above the unit must be

kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the ow

of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate
clearance must be maintained around the unit

for easy servicing. Provision should be made
for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking unit

exhaust combustion waste products to the

outside of the building. Usual practice is to

place the unit under an exhaust hood, which
should be constructed in accordance to the lo-

cal codes. Strong exhaust fans in this hood
or in the overall air conditioning system can
produce a slight vacuum in the room and or

cause air drafts, either of which can interfere
with the pilot or burner performance and could

be difcult to diagnose. Air movement should
be checked during installation. Air openings of
bafes may be to be provided in the room, if
pilot or burner outage problem persists.
