Gas and Electrical Supply Requirements
Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: The Cal Flame grill is manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be
converted to operate on natural gas (NG) by an authorized service technician.
This barbecue grill does not include the parts for converting to NG. The gas conversion kit can be ordered
separately. The part number for the conversion kit is BBQ07101045. Grill conversion instructions can be
found on page 31 and ordering information can be found in this manual on page 37.
Gas Requirements
Tank Requirements
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible
regulator and set it for LP gas.
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane
is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for
propane is 11” WC.
The grill must be used with the gas pressure
regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a
uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner
orifices have been sized for the gas pressure
delivered by the regulator.
WARNING:
Attempting to operate the grill unit
without the gas regulator installed could cause an
explosion and possible death.
Cylinder Specification
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the
Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation
or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/
CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes
for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission
, as applicable.
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must
be approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 inches
high.
The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5
gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately
38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill
the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If you do not have an updated filler valve on your
existing propane tank, you will need to purchase one
at your local hardware store. Without it you will not
be able to attach your tank to your grill or refill the
tank at your local propane refill station.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the
cylinder is secured in an upright position with the
control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
Store cylinders outdoors and out of reach of children.
Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area.
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the
type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is
provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
