- Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer, service
agency, or gas supplier.
Never use an old connector when installing
a new range. If the hard-piping method is
used, you must carefully align the pipe; the
range cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint
compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with
Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.
1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in
the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside of the range.
Make sure everyone operating the range
knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the range.
2. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) flare union
adapter to the 0.5-in (1.3-mm) NPT
internal thread at the regulator inlet. Use
a backup wrench on the regulator fitting
to avoid damage.
When installing the range from the
front, remove the 90 ° elbow for easier
installation.
3. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) or 0.75-in
(1.9-mm) flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off
valve, taking care to back up the shut-off
valve to keep it from turning.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance
connector to the adapter on the range.
Position range to permit connection at the
shut-off valve.
5. When all connections have been made,
make sure all range controls are in the off
position and turn on the main gas supply
valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks
in the system.
WARNING
To prevent death, personal injury, explosion,
and/or fire hazard, DO NOT use a flame to
check for gas leaks.
When using test pressures greater than
psig to pressure-test the gas supply system
of the residence, disconnect the range
and individual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping. When using test pressures of
/
psig or less to test the gas supply system,

simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off
valve.
