Thermador PRG366WH Installation Instructions - Page 17

Gas requirements and hookup 9 CAUTION The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/ 2 psig (3.5kPa.). 9 WARNING DO NOT use a flame of any kind to check for gas leaks. 9 CAUTION When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas 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" water column (34.9 mb). IMPORTANT: Do not ground to a gas pipe. Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. Make certain the range matches the type of gas available at this location. The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54- current issue. High altitude Gas requirements Natural gas requirements: • Inlet connection: 1/2'' NPT internal (Minimum 3/4'' dia. flex line) • Supply pressure: 7'' min. to 14'' max. water column (17.4 to 34.9 mb) • Manifold pressure: 5'' water column (12.5 mb) Propane gas requirements • Inlet connection: 1/2'' NPT internal (minimum 3/4'' dia. flex line) • Supply pressure: 11'' min. to 14'' max. water column (27.4 mb to 34.9 mb) • Manifold pressure: 10'' water column (24.9 mb) Gas connection To connect the gas 1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance. 2. Use a ¾'' (19 mm) flex line to connect between the gas supply and the appliance gas inlet. The gas supply line connection is located at the lower right portion. The appliance gas inlet connection is ½'' (12.7 mm) NPT. • Use caution to avoid crimping the ¾'' (19 mm) flex line when making bends. Suggested length of flex line is 48" (1219 mm); however, please check local codes for your area's requirements before installation. ¾" (19) external threads ½" (12.7) internal threads { This appliance has been tested for operation up to an altitude of 10,100 ft (3,078 m) elevation above sea level. A high altitude kit is required for natural gas above 5,400 feet (1,646 m) elevation above sea level, and for propane (LP) above 10,000 feet (3048 m) elevation above sea level. If desired, for altitudes above 2,000 feet (610 m) elevation above sea level, adjustments can be made to the rangetop burners with an adjustment kit. If flame performance is satisfactory, adjustment will not be required. It is required that a Certified Professional make the high altitude adjustments during installation. See the back cover for information about service, parts, and accessories. ¾" (19) Flex line inches (mm) 3. Use pipe sealing compound or Teflon® tape on the pipe threads. DO NOT apply sealing compound or tape to flare fittings. Take care not to apply excessive pressure when tightening the fittings. Page. 15
