GAS HOOKUP & LEAK CHECK
1.
For Natural Gas:
Connect a certified 1/2

cording to local codes requirements. Use
a pipe thread sealant that is certified for
use with natural gas at connections, where
required.

For L.P. Gas:
Connect the regulator hose
connector to a full 20# L.P. tank, and
hand-tighten it.

Turn on the gas supply to the grill.

Test all of the connections by brushing on
an approved noncorrosive leak-detection
solution. Bubbles will indicate a leak. Cor-
rect any leaks found.
