INSTALLATION

Gas Hook-up

Gas requirements

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the
appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the underside
of the drip tray. 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 Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code or CSA-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 conversion kits are available from
Customer care. 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

BH1-48RS - 126,500 Btu/hr or 133.5MJ/h BH1-48R/BH1-48RGI - 121,500 Btu/hr or 128.2 MJ/h
BH1-36R/BH1-36RGI - 92,500 Btu/hr or 97.5 MJ/h.
The appliance 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 appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping 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 appliance must conform with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in
Can ada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and/or
Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.

Natural gas built-in hook-up
(This should be performed by a technician only)
Connection:

1/2” NPT female with 3/8” flare adapter

Operating pressure:

4.0” W.C.

Supply pressure:

5” to 14” WC. If in excess of 14” W.C., a step down
regulator is 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 as shown (Fig. 06). Use threading
compound on male threads only. Do not use threading
compound on 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 the installer-supplied
gas valve in an accessible location.

LP Gas Hook Up (Type 1 or QCC1 regulator)

Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped
with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for
connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1).
The LP tank is not included.
