Checking the gas type and supply
Before assembling your barbeque, you should ensure your barbeque is suited to the type of gas
which you are going to use:
LPG, also known as Propane or Universal LPG:
Barbeques suited to LPG should have an orange sticker on the side saying
“UNIVERSAL LPG”.
This is most commonly supplied as a portable 4 kg or 9 kg gas cylinder, which can be refilled or
swapped at petrol stations or your place of purchase when empty. Follow the assembly instruction
steps for how to fit and connect your portable cylinder.
Some homes have twin 45 kg LPG cylinders permanently installed near an outside wall. These
cylinders supply LPG gas to multiple appliances in the home via copper pipes, and are filled as
required by the gas supply company.
Natural Gas:
Barbeques suited to natural gas should have a white sticker on the side saying
“NATURAL GAS”.
This is piped to your home in a similar fashion to water, so there are no cylinders to refill. You will
need to contact your local gas company to determine if Natural Gas is available in your area.
Fixed LPG Supply or Natural Gas Supply:
Barbeques which are connected to twin 45 kg LPG cylinders or to Natural Gas must be installed by
a licensed gasfitter, in accordance with the requirements of AS 5601, and local gas authority
requirements.
There are two approaches to installation:
(1) Permanent Piped Connection: Your barbeque may be permanently connected to the main
gas lines or LPG cylinders via copper pipe. This must be done entirely by the gasfitter, in
accordance with requirements of AS 5601, and local gas authority requirements. Your gasfitter will
ensure that your barbeque is permanently connected to the supply via copper pipe, the gas
pressure in the lines is adequate, pipe sizes are correct, all connections are secure, and that all
necessary components (such as secondary regulators and manual shutoffs) are included where
regulations require them. Once this is done, the barbeque cannot be moved. It is a permanent
fixture of the property.
(2 ) Bayonet Point: Alternatively, you can have the gas fitter terminate the gas line using a
“bayonet point”. This allows you to connect and disconnect the barbeque using a special hose and
bayonet termination. Such a hose is provided in the Natural Gas conversion kit
NGCK250VJ.
Follow the instructions supplied with the kit to complete the connection. For LPG installations, an
appropriate hose is available from most barbeque retailers.
