Important Safety Instructions:
WARNING: Please read all
instructions carefully. Failure to fully
read instructions and follow them could
result in severe injury or death.
1. Gas connectors and accessories must
be installed in strict accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1 or latest edition) and applicable
state or local gas installation codes.
These T&S connectors comply with the
standard for connector for Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.69•CSA 6.16.
WARNING: Per the ANSI Z21.69 • CSA
6.16 Standard, Gas Connectors cannot
be reused when an appliance is being
replaced or moved to a new location.
2. As with any other gas transmission
line or device, it is recommended that
installation and testing be done by
qualifi ed personnel.
3. An approved accessible manual gas
shut-off valve must be installed at the
outlet of the gas supply piping system
upstream of the connector. Each piece
of equipment must have its own shut-off
valve. The Quick Disconnect coupling
is not to be used as the primary shut-off
for all types of moveable gas appliances.
(ANSI Z233.1 and ANSI Z21.69).
4. The T&S Safe-T-Link Restraining
Device, Model AG-RC, is the
recommended restraining device
for castered appliances. Installation
Instructions for the restraining device
are included with Model AG-RC. This
restrainer should be inspected as part
of regular maintenance and safety
procedures. Restraining cable must be
connected at all times when appliance is
in use.
5. With these Gas Connection, AVOID:
* Flexing, excessive bending and vibra-
tion.
* Movement after installation on fi xed
appliances.
* Movement on moveable appliances
(those with factory equipped casters)
except for repair or cleaning.
6. Final assembly must be tested for
leaks.
CAUTION: Matches, candles, open
fl ame or other sources of ignition shall
not be used for this purpose. Leak test
solutions may cause corrosion - rinse
with water after test.
To check gas supply piping system for
leakage see National Fuel Code ANSI
Z233.1/NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA-B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane Inst. Code.
