Connecting Your Grill to the Natural Gas Source.
1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the supply piping
and the socket is recommended, but not required, by the National
Fuel Gas Code. Socket connection must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant pipe dope or
approved teflon tape. Screw socket onto gas supply pipe (house gas
source) as shown in
Figure A below, and wrench-tighten.

3. Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket and insert the
unattached end of the gas hose into the socket. Release the sleeve
and continue pushing the hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps
into the locked position. See
Figure B .

4. When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose are connected,
a valve in the socket opens automatically to permit full gas flow.
When the gas hose is disconnected, the valve in the socket instantly
and positively shuts off the flow of gas. Because the valve in the
socket positively shuts off the flow of gas, the grill can be
disconnected from the gas source by disconnecting the gas hose
from the quick disconnect socket. The socket should be left attached
to the gas source (house piping).
Figure C , below, shows properly
connected hose and socket.
CAUTION
The quick disconnect socket should never be connected
to the grill. Direction of gas flow is indicated on the
socket.
Figure C
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be removed without
pushing the quick disconnect sleeve back.
To disconnect, push
sleeve back and pull plug out of sleeve (this automatically shuts off
gas).
Please Note: Hose and assembly are C.S.A. listed for natural gas,
manufactured gas, mixed gas and for liquefied petroleum and for
LP Gas-Air mixtures on basis of 0.64 specific gravity for 1000
BTU’s per cubic foot of gas at 0.3 in. water column pressure drop.
Only ANSI Z21.54 approved hoses should be used with this grill.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing on that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance 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 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
WARNING
Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this
type of grill to natural gas source. Use only hose
specified by manufacturer. Using hard metal piping or
convoluted metal tubing is an unsafe practice. Movement
of the grill can cause breakage of metal pipe.
