NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:
Be sure this document is included in all gas range top appliances sold to consumers in the State of
Massachusetts.
NOTICE:
Massachusetts law requires the following:
•
•
Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length) flexible gas connector
and
A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
•
Have the dealer where you purchase your new range top install it or have them recommend a qualified
installer. Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA
B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The range top should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or a certified
flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing compound which is
resistant to liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded connections.
Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the range top manifold pipe when tightening supply
connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the pressure regulator to prevent twisting.
Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold
pipe may be twisted and split and cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of range tops designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform
with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part
280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable, with local codes.
