vulcan convection oven
Posted by guest on May 9, 2017 at 12:00 ammodel vc44gd it’s a double stack, client wants to run one gas line to both, do I need to have a separate regulator on each oven or is one regulator feeding both units OK?
Â
not a gas guy so I need help on this

The final regulator needs to be at the oven. This prevents other ovens and equipment from having a effect on the appliance. Two is your answer.
Â
Besides, Vulcan provides a 3.5″ WC regulator for each oven. Common natuarl gas manifold pressure is 5 to 7 inches By designing the oven to run at 3.5 inches, other variations in the system are prevented from changing the parameters of the combustion..

Izzygreeen, I forgot to add that the regulators supplied with the ovens are rated for the 44,000 BTU capacity. Not 88,000 that would happen if you fed both. As I recall, they were either 50,000 or 65,000 rating.

I was thinking that, I just wanted to be sure….Thanks!!

Nice to see you posting.

fortunately, I’ve been really busy

this is kicking my a$$…..I’ve got a 90 going from the top oven pointing down and from the bottom oven pointing up, regulators after that and a “T” in the middle……what do I use to secure the bottom of the “T” to the lower oven line without unthreading the bottom regulator as I tighten up the “T”?
Â
again not a gas guy so forgive my ignorance

izzygreen, the combination valves in each oven have a built-in regulators. If the building’s supply pressure is 14″WC (1/2″ psi) or LESS, there’s NO NEED to incorporate separate line regulators.
Â
Get your manometer and check incoming pressure…the pressure from the gas supply pipes mounted to the wall. If 14″ or less, just make the connection with a Dormont hose with no additional regulators. They aren’t necessary.
Â
If the supply pressure is MORE than 14″, respond back here.
Â
However, to answer your immediate question about 90s, Ts and unscrewing/screwing things…nipples and unions. That’s what you need. Nipples that are of specifically measured lengths…and unions to screw things back together..

Thank YOU!

You must have had a hell of a time getting that together without swing joints.
