GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units)
NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS: Be sure this document is included in all
gas cooktop appliances sold to consumers in the State of Massachusetts. 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
• A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance
Have the dealer where you purchase your new cooktop install it or have them recommend
a qualified installer. Installation must conform to 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 cooktop should be connected to the supply line with a 1/2 inch black iron pipe or a
certified flexible-type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing
compound that is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded connections.
IMPORTANT!: Do not apply pressure directly to the cooktop 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 cooktops 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.
