If the hard-pipingmethod is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be movedafter the connection is made.To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape withTeflon on all male (external) pipe threads.1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessedlocation outside of the range.Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut offthe gas supply to the range.2. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) flare union adapter to the 0.5-in (1.3-mm) NPTinternal thread at the regulator inlet. Use a backup wrench on the regulatorfitting to avoid damage.When installing the range from the front, remove the 90 ° elbow for easierinstallation.3. Install male 0.5-in (1.3-mm) or 0.75-in (1.9-mm) flare union adapter to theNPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back up theshut-off valve to keep it from turning.4.
