1. Safety PLUS ADVANTAGE COATED STAINLESS STEEL GAS CONNECTORS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS For Residential and Commercial Gas Appliances DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS The Safety PLUS ADVANTAGE coated stainless steel gas connector combines two state of the art technologies to deliver a superior gas connector for your home and family Safety PLUS ADVANTAGE gas connectors feature an advanced corrosion resistant coating called ProCoat A proprietary polymer coating ProCoat is specially engineered to resist the corrosion from harsh chemicals found in household cleaning plumbing repair and masonry products Approved for indoor and outdoor use ProCoat is formulated to resist the harsh effect of UV rays and salt Safety PLUS excess flow valves EFV an automatic safety valve for gas utilize a patented magnet based excess flow technology In the event of a gas line rupture or disconnection at the appliance the Safety PLUS valve immediately restricts gas flow to a non hazardous level a bypass flow to avert the potential for a dangerous release of gas into the home Only after the gas line has been properly repaired the bypass flow automatically resets the valve allowing gas flow to resume to the appliance e Use only on low pressure natural and LP gas piping systems DO NOT USE on pipelines or piping systems that transfer or move liquids including high pressure liquid propane e2. Use only with gas line pressures at a minimum of 4 water column W C and not greater than 14 W C 1 2 psig at the stub out e Use only in connection with residential and commercial gas appliances where installation is immediately downstream of the gas supply stub out and manual gas shut off valve Tools Needed for Installation e 2 10 adjustable wrenches e Pipe dope or gas pipe thread tape e Leak detection solution SIZING THE CONNECTOR TO THE APPLIANCE 1 Measure the distance between the gas supply stub out and the appliance Add 2 3 inches to the measured distance for appropriate connector length for the installation See Fig A Gas Supply Pipe Manual Shut off Valve Safety PLUS Appliance EFV Gas Connector Flare Nut I 6 Maximum Massachusetts State Plumbing Code Mandates a maximum connector length of 36 or 3 2 Identify the maximum gas input rating of the appliance refered to as input rating Manufacturer s label located near the gas inlet of the appliance will contain this information See Fig B Contact the appliance manufacturer if you are unsure of the correct rating for the appliance 3 Using Chart 1 select the gas connector with the maximum flow capacity that is HIGHER than the input rating of the appliance However select the gas connector with the maximum flow capacity that is CLOSEST TO the input rating of the appliance Figure C WARNING The maximum ga
