Natural Gas; Burner Input Requirements - Whirlpool W11241780A Instructions Pour L'installation

Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
■
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. With propane gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, propane
gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the
system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of
propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5
■
ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm)
I.D. (inside diameter), flexible metal appliance connector
may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for
■
connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the
appliance pressure regulator.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
■
moving the range.
Must include a shutoff valve:
■
Install a manual gas line shutoff valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at
a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1"(2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14"
(35.5 cm) WCP
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm)
WCP or lower
The range must be isolated 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
