All Cal Flame grills are manufactured as standard liquid propane (LP) grills and can be converted to burn 

natural gas (NG). There are two steps required to convert a grill from LP to NG.

You must perform both steps.

Step 1:  Switching the regulator behind the grill

Step 2: Changing the burner orifices

The conversion kit provided with your grill may include 

some or all 

of the parts shown at right, depending on 

the size and model of your grill.
The kit contains orifices to convert main burners, rear 

infrared  burners,  and  the  large  infrared  burner.  Your 

kit will have only the parts you need to convert your 

grill.
Before  you  begin,  make  certain  the  LP  gas  source 

has been disconnected from the grill. If you have a 

cart, you do not need to remove the grill from the 

cart.

To gain access to the NG regulator:

For grills, tilt the grill forward.

• 

For barbecue carts, remove the back cover.

• 

Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the grill

The regulator in the image below has been removed from a grill to illustrate 

this procedure.

Remove the LP gas line.

1. 

Remove the cap fitting from the end of the NG gas regulator.

2. 

Place the cap fitting over the LP gas inlet.

3. 

Insert a male flared fitting (

4. 

not provided

) in the NG gas regulator.

Converting from LP to NG

WARNING!  You  must  have  an  authorized  service  technician  perform  this 

procedure. If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may 

result  causing  property  damage,  personal  injury  or  loss  of  life .  Lloyd’s  Material 

Supply (L .M .S .) will not be held responsible for an improperly converted gas grill .

You will need:

13mm open end wrench

• 

Male flared fitting

 

• 

(not provided)

Pipe compound suitable 

• 

for natural gas

NOTE: A flared fitting is NOT included 

with your grill .

If you are attaching a flex hose to the regulator, 

you will need a fitting. The fitting requires a male 

flare  on  the  input  end  with  a  1/2”  MPT  on  the 

output end. The flared male input end needs to be 

the size of your flex tubing. You can also connect 

the regulator directly to your NG gas service, which 

will not require a flared fitting.
