the flexible tubing when moving the range
A Yz" male pipe thread IS needed for
connection to pressure regulator female ,
pipe threads.
The supply line should be equipped
with o shutoff valve This valve should
be lccoted I" the some ram as the ro"Qe

must be used to obtain on in-line cbnnech&
to the range. All strains must be removed from
the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
H. The inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as lollows for both
operation and checking regulator setling.

Testing aboveK lb. PSI (Gauge)
The range and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gos supply
piping System during any pressure testing
of that system ot test pressures greater than
Yz psig (3.5 ItPa].
Testing at Yz lb. PSI (Gauge) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas
supply plplng system by closing its Individual
manual shut&valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than Yz psrg
(3.5 kPo).
