GAS CONNECTION Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The cooktop is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP, depending on the specific model ordered. If the cooktop is not set for the gas supplied at the site, return to the dealer. Pressure testing at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.): the cooktop and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system Pressure testing at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.): The cooktop must be isolated from the building's gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve LP GAS CONNECTION SAMPLE GAS CONNECTION Connection: 1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8" dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 11" to 14" W.C. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14" W.C. to the cooktop regulator. A manual shut-off valve (not supplied) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. In Massachusetts, such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters. The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the appliance. Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. When within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. base of product elbow 1/2" close nipple Regulator 1/2" x 5" close nipple To prepare the unit for connection to the gas supply Any combination of elbows and couplings can be used to connect the product to the regulator and gas supply as required by the installer. 1/2" NPT to 3/8" flare adapter to gas supply NATURAL GAS CONNECTION Connection: 1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8" dia. flex line. Supply pressure: 6" to 9" W.C Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily accessible by the customer, so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement. Pipe sealant must be used on all pipe threads. The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance. Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. Leaktesting of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. See instructions following. When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0" W.C. for natural gas or 12.0" for LP. The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a certifying agency (CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks. The arrow on the regulator indicating direction of gas flow should be pointing towards the unit. 12
