4.
Make your first connection using a ½” NPT female elbow. Point this elbow downward if the main gas supply
is near the ground. If the main gas supply is in a location other than the ground, point the elbow in that
direction.
5.
Install a short nipple into the open end of the elbow and install the supplied NG regulator at the end of this
nipple. Make sure the regulator is installed so the arrow (marked on the regulator) is pointing to the
appliance, i.e., in the direction the gas will be flowing. NOTE: if this appliance is being installed in line and
after an adjacent grill, and that grill has a gas regulator, then DO NOT INSTALL the NG regulator to this
appliance. Only ONE regulator is required for all appliances connected to the same gas line.
6.
Measure the distance from the open end of the regulator to the ground and subtract 8” from this
measurement to allow for the next 3 connections. This will be the length of your next nipple.
7.
Install this nipple to the regulator and at the other end, install a ½” NPT female ‘Tee’ connection. The third
(downward) leg of the ‘Tee’ is used to install a 3” minimum length ‘Drip Leg’ with cap. This leg is required in
many states and is used for periodic moisture relief. Check your local codes. This complete pipe routing
should now be resting 1-2 inches above the ground.
8.
Install the next nipple into the center opening of the ‘Tee’ and run this connection to the gas source.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the gas source does not have a gas shut-off valve, then a new ½” quarter turn valve
MUST be installed between the last gas pipe and the existing gas source. This gas valve should be installed
by a qualified plumber or gas technician. See the next step.
9.
If the gas source is a stubbed gas pipe coming from the side of the house or exit point, then THE GAS MUST
BE TURNED OFF AT THE METER. A new quarter turn gas valve must be installed, either at the gas source or
inline from the gas source in a convenient location.
10.
Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas
connections prior to operation of this appliance.
INSTALLATION- USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE-BOTTLE)- when using bottled LP, then use the LP regulator and hose
equipped with the LP appliance. The installation should begin the same as the NG installation where a ½ NPT pipe
(threaded at both ends) is routed from the gas exit point at the rear of the appliance through the rear of the island. A ½
NPT female elbow is then added to the end of the ½ pipe. At this point, the hard piping is complete. Connect the fitting
at the end of the LP hose to the newly installed elbow. Use the above diagram for this hard piping requirement and
connection of the LP hose. As previously mentioned, if the island is constructed in a ‘hollow’ manner, and there is a
hollow space between the back of the cutout and the back of the island, then the first hard piping can be routed directly
DOWNWARD into the island interior. Additional fittings will be required. This piping can terminate with either a ½ NPT
female elbow or a ½ NPT straight coupler. The LP hose can then be connected directly to the last fitting. Always assure
that the LP hose is completely visible and accessible inside the island.
1.
Use 2 or more people and lift the grill onto the top island surface.
2.
Follow steps #1 through #4 of the NG piping installation. This portion of the installation completes the hard
piping requirements and routes the piping through the back of the island.
3.
Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on the fitting at the end of the LP hose and install directly to the ½
NPT female elbow at the rear of the island.
4.
Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas
connections.
INSTALLATION- USING LP (LIQUID PROPANE) BULK TANK- If you have ordered a burner configured for LP (Liquid
Propane), then you have received an LP regulator and hose with your burner. If you plan to attach the appliance directly
to a bulk propane tank, then you cannot use the supplied hose. You must obtain a regulator from LazyMan Inc. Please
order P/N 10099. This is a regulator which converts from NG to LP. Please use the instructions that come with the
regulator for this conversion. Follow the same connection pattern shown above for NG connections.
