LP Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes the gas conversion responsibility.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on
the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting
the serving gas supplier. See "GAS CONVERSION" section.
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. Pipe-joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. 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.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
• If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 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.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range
connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
range will be level and in line.
