GAS REQUIREMENTS (LP or NG Natural Gas)
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either
Natural
or
LP (standard and recommended)
, and make sure the mark-
ing on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located underneath the unit bottom.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use the gas regulator provided with the unit, even if the
supply is controlled.
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must
conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Ca-
nadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas
Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.
All pipe sealants must be an ap proved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on flare
fittings. All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Gas conver-
sion kits are available from the factory. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas
(natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
{ CRG-60R = 60,000 Btu/hr }
The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The grill must be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this grill must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Installation in Canada must be in accordance
with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP
:
(THIS TYPE OF CONNECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED OR LICENSED TECHNICIAN
ONLY.)
Connection: 1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply pressure: 5” to 14” water
column. If in excess of 14” W.C., a step down regulatoris required. Check with your local gas utility company or
local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to
bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved
type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:
Assemble and leak test as shown in the previous pages illustrations. Use threading compound on male threads only. Do
not use threading compoundon the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the
grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction
of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place theinstaller-supplied gas valve in an accessible
location.
