step 5: gas connection and hook-up
NEXT:
HOOK UP:
a) A manual shut off valve must be installed external
to the range in an accessible location from the front
for shutting off the gas supply when required (Fig. 7).
b) The supply line MUST NOT protrude beyond the
back of the range.
c) Ensure that the gas supply is turned OFF at the
external shut-off valve before connecting the range.
d) The gas supply connection must be made by an
experienced technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes or
ordinances, please refer to National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54-Current Issue.
e) The range is supplied with its own pressure
regulator that has been permanently mounted with
the range body.
f) Use 5/8” diameter flex line to connect between the
gas supply and the appliance manifold pipe, which
exists at the upper left rear of the appliance. The
appliance manifold pipe connection is 1/2”. Use
caution to avoid crimping the 1/2” flex line.
NOTE:
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and
approved by an approved certifying agency (AGA,
CGA, CSA, UL or CUL). NEVER use a hose made of
rubber or other synthetic material as the heat may
cause the hose to melt and develop leaks, thus
causing fires, physical and property damage.
g) Always use pipe dope or Teflon
®
tape on the
pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive
pressure when tightening the fittings.
h) Leak testing of the appliance shall be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
i) Turn on gas and check supply line connections for
leaks using a soap solution. Do not use a flame of
any sort to test for leaks.
START HERE:
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site
matches the gas type of the range. As shipped from the
factory, units are configured for use with Natural Gas or
Propane (LP). Make certain the range matches the type
of gas available at this location.
For installation of the appliance at high altitude, please
consult your local gas company for their recommendation
of the correct orifice sizes and any other necessary
adjustments that will provide proper gas combustion at
specified altitudes.
NOTE:
Capital DOES NOT supply ranges to match varying
altitudes. Orifices to adjust for combustion for differing
altitudes may be purchased through Capital Cooking
Equipment by calling our Parts Department at
1-866-402-4600, or email us at [e-mail].
CAUTION!
When connecting unit to Propane (LP) gas, make
certain the propane tank is equipped with its own
high-pressure regulator in addition to the pressure
regulator supplied with the appliance. The pressure of
the gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not
exceed 14” (37 mb) water column.
NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS:
Inlet Connection: 1/2” N.P.T.
Min. 5/8” Dia. Flex Line.
Supply Pressure: 6” to 14” W.C.
PROPANE (LP) GAS RQUIREMENTS:
Inlet Connection: 1/2” N.P.T.
Min. 5/8” Dia. Flex Line.
Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.
A Regulator is required at the LP source to provide a
maximum of 14” W.C. pressure to the range regulator.
WARNING!
Gas line cannot be run inside back cover of range.
Run gas line in channel in back of range.
