Figure 8

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

WARNING Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
