Step 5: Gas Requirements and

Hookup

Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. As

shipped from the factory, units are configured for use with

only natural gas or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the

range matches the type of gas available at this location.

These ranges are NOT convertible between different

types of gas.

48" NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE (LP) GAS

APPLIANCES - For installation of the appliance above

2,000 ft (610 m) elevation above sea level, a High Altitude

Conversion Kit (service number 00619199) is available for

purchase from THERMADOR Customer Service. It is

required that a Certified Professional install the High

Altitude Conversion Kit.

30" AND 36" NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE (LP) GAS

APPLIANCES - For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610 m)

elevation above sea level, adjustments can be made with

the High Altitude Packet included with the unit. If flame

performance is satisfactory, the contents in this packet will

not be required. It is required that a Certified Professional

make the high altitude adjustments during installation.

Hook Up

The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent

technician and in accordance with local codes or

ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation

must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA54- current issue.

1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external

to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front,

for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The

supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit.

Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual

shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.

• The range is supplied with its own pressure

regulator that has been permanently mounted

within the range body.

2. Use a ¾” (19 mm) flex line to connect between the gas

supply and the appliance gas inlet. The gas supply line

connection is located at the lower right portion of all

range models (see Figure 9). The appliance gas inlet

connection is ½” (12.7 mm) NPT.

• Use caution to avoid crimping the ¾” (19 mm) flex

line when making bends. Suggested length of flex

line is 48" (1219 mm); however, please check local

codes for your area's requirements before

installation.

3. Use pipe sealing compound or Teflon

tape on the

pipe threads. Do not apply sealing compound or tape

to flare fittings. Take care not to apply excessive

pressure when tightening the fittings.

4. Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance

with the following instructions.

• Turn on gas and check supply line connections for

leaks using a soap and water solution.

• Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all

leaks immediately after finding them.

NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS:

Inlet Connection: ½” (

13 mm) NPT internal

[Minimum ¾” (19 mm) dia. flex

line]

Supply Pressure: 6" min. to 14" max. water column.

(14.9 to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 5" water column (12.5 mb)

PROPANE GAS REQUIREMENTS:

Inlet Connection: ½” (13mm) NPT internal

[Min. 3/4” (19 mm) dia. flex line]

Supply Pressure: 11" min. to 14"max. water column.

(27.4 mb to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 10" water column (24.9 mb)

WARNING!

Gas line must not come in contact with any components

inside back cover of range.

CAUTION!

When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain the

propane gas tank is equipped with its own high pressure

regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied

with the appliance. The pressure of the gas supplied to

the appliance regulator must not exceed 14" water

column (34.9 mb).

WARNING!

Do not use a flame of any kind to check for gas

leaks.
