VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the tilting braising pan and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test presures are
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the tilting braising pan must be isolated from the gas
supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION (See Fig. 2)
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
Connect a
3
/4" (nominal) gas supply to the braising pan. Recommended incoming gas line pressure is
7" W.C. (Water Column) (48.3 kPa) for natural gas or 11" W.C. (75.8 kPa) for propane gas.
Gas pressure should not exceed 14" W.C., higher pressure will damage the combination valve.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the tilting braising pan.
Natural gas and propane gas braising pans are equipped with fixed orifices, and gas pressure must be
verified at start up. The manifold is set at 3.7" W.C. (Water Column) (25.5 kPa) for natural gas and 10"
W.C. (68.9 kPa) for propane gas.
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and
water solution. Do not use an open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
VENTILATION
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the tilting braising pan.
It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the braising pan flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system,
an 18" (46
cm) minimum clearance must be maintained. The flue is not to be directly connected to the
ventilation system.
Local jurisdictions may require a ventilation system to exhaust the steam from this appliance.
Clearance of 40" is recommended for the lid to be raised without interference with the hood. A ceiling
that is too low may not allow for an installation of a hood to meet this requirement.
