GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units) (Continued)
The installation of cooktops designed for recreational vehicle installation must
conform with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the
standard for recreational vehicles. ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA
Z240.4.2 in Canada.
The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must conform with
state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the standard for recreational
park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
NOTE: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to check
for gas leaks. Use a soap solution, 75% water, 25% dishwashing soap. It is possible for
connections made at the factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in transportation.
Make certain you have checked them all, and repair any connections that leak.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
PSIG. 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.
GAS LINE SHUT-OFF VALVE
• To reduce the possibility of gas leaks, apply Teflon tape or a thread compound approved
for use with LP or Natural gases to all threaded connections.
• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside the range in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on
or shutting off gas to the appliance.
• Install male 1/2’’(30 or 36-inch cooktop) or 3/4” (48-inch cooktop) flare union adapter to 1/
2” or 3/4’’ NPT internal thread elbow at the inlet of the regulator. Use a wrench on the
regulator fitting to avoid damage.
• Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual
shut-off valve, taking care to secure the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
• Check for leaks using a leak detector or soapy water, 75% water, 25% dishwashing soap.
