GAS CONNECTIONS
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane
gases.
The gas inlet is located under the control panel on the left-hand side.
Connect gas supply to the tilting braising pan. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
3
/4" iron pipe with an incoming pressure of approximately 7" W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas or 11"
W.C. (Water Column) for propane gas. 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 no adjustment is
necessary. The orifices are set at 3.5" W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas, and 10" W.C. (Water
Column) for propane gas.
WARNING: 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.
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 pressures 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.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
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 tilting braising pan flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system, an
18" minimum clearance must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard
for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
