Gas Supply Line

●

Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or
tubing size can be ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the
size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not
use TEFLON

tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

●

If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ¹⁄₂"
(1.3 cm) or ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting range to the gas supply line.

●

A ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of
the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.

●

Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be
located in the same room but external to the range opening, such as an adjacent
cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
range.

Electrical: A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp, fused electrical circuit is required. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this range be provided.
