NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON
ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH
YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
the grill is factory set to use either propane (lp) or natural
gas (nat). it is critical that the gas you use matches that
which the grill was set up for. you can verify that by check-
ing the
rating plate.
the rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type.
the rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• attached to the underside of the fire box
• on the back of the Care & use manual
ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been
tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.
Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from lynx or from your dealer and must be
installed by a qualified technician.
all installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the national electrical Code, ansi Z223.1/
nfpa 70 latest edition and the national fuel gas Code,
ansi Z223.1/nfpa 54 in the u.s. and Cga-B149.1/.2 in
Canada.
Canadian installations must conform to Cga-B149.1/.2
natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)

lynx recommends that only qualified professionals perform
the required plumbing on this product.
to ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total Btu requirements
of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that
line.
in no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1”
outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
• Calculate the total Btu output of all equipment and
refer to “indeX: gas supply line runs” for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appliances running on that supply line.
• always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (see
indeX: “Btu output” for specific model outputs)
• a gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily acces-
sible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. do not use
threading compound on any flare fittings.
for built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (see indeX: “gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
