Rigid Pipe Connector Method

If using a flexible connector, return to “Flexible Connector
Method” on previous page.

The configuration of the rigid pipe connection will vary
depending on the location of the gas pipe stub.

Complete Gas Connection

1. Connect pipe to range at union. Access the connection

through the access panel behind the drawer.

The gas connection is complete. It is important to test for
gas leaks before proceeding with the remainder of the
installation.

Test for Gas Leaks

Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer according to
the instructions given in this section.

Note:

Be careful not to apply pressure to warming drawer
element during rigid pipe testing.

1. Turn on gas.
2. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid. Include all

joints and fittings between the shutoff valve and the
range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if con-
nections may have been disturbed during installation.

3. Inspect for leaks. Bubbles appearing around fit-

tings and connections indicate a leak.

4. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shutoff valve

and tighten connections.

5. Retest for leaks. Turn gas back on at supply line shutoff

valve and reapply leak detection fluid.

6. When no bubbles appear, test is complete. Wipe off all

detection fluid residue.

.

Do not continue to the next step until all leaks are
eliminated.
