Connection:
1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter
Operating pressure:
4.0” W.C.
Supply pressure:
5” to 14” W.C. 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 griddle will not function properly. .

Regulator
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 a gas regulator even if the supply is controlled.
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 side burner/griddle.
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 Canada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation
