Natural Gas
NG Service Installation and Connection
Natural gas installation of this appliance must conform
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with
the standard CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation
Code.
You do not need to hire a contractor to install your
natural gas service, but you need to make sure you
have all required permits and ensure the installation
complies with State and local code. We recommend
you hire a certified contractor if you do not wish to do
the installation yourself.
The natural gas pipe from your house to the
location of your barbecue island needs to be ¾” and
terminate with a shut-off valve with a ½” male fitting.
Check with a contractor or your local inspector for
requirements.
Always ch
eck the rating plate to make sure the gas
supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill
is manufactured for.
NG Regulator
The grill for use with natural gas comes equipped
with its own regulator that MUST NOT be removed.
If this regulator needs to be replaced, use only the
type specified by for this applianc
e.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an
unregulated gas supply .
Shut-off Valve
Ensure that the service supplying the grill is fitted
with a shut off valve conveniently positioned near
the grill and giving ease of access.
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5
psi (3.5 kPa).
Electrical Supply Requirements
You will need a dedicated 120V 10 amp grounded
electrical service. The power supplied to your grill
enclosure must be on a dedicated circuit with no other
appliances or lights sharing the power.
You do not need to hire a contractor to install your
electrical service, but you must ensure you have
all required permits and the installation complies
with State and local code. We recommend you hire
a certified contractor if you do not wish to do the
installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certified contractor, you will need
to hire a contractor for installation of your electrical
service.
When installed in the United States, the electrical
wiring must meet the requirements of National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and any applicable state
or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed
by an electrical contractor and approved by a local
building / electrical inspector.
To determine the current, voltage, and wire size
required for the island configuration to be connected,
refer to the following:
•
Wire size is determined by length of run from
breaker box to the barbecue island and maximum
current draw.
•
We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation.
•
All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate
connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
•
When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6
(10mm²), install a junction box near the barbecue
island and use #6 (10mm²) wire between the
junction box and the grill enclosure.
