In-Ground Mounting
Assembly Instructions (MPP)
•
All MHP Grill Heads may be mounted on the 4 foot post for in-
ground installation.
•
The gas supply may be either LP or Natural.
•
The grill head should not be attached to the post until
the post
is permanently cemented in ground.
Step 1: In-Ground Mounting Installation
(Fig. 5
1.
Dig a posthole about 8 inches wide by 2 feet deep
. Caution:
Locate the hole so that the mounted grill head has a clear-
ance of 18 inches away from any combustible object or sur-
face; back, left or right.
Center the post in the hole and plumb it. Pour in cement (gravel)
up to the gas line access hole
.
When you complete the mount assembly go to the appropriate
Grill Assembly Section and assemble the grill head.
Keep in mind that the gas line access hole is on the back of the
post and the notch at the top if facing front.
Recheck plumb and
allow cement to set.
2. Run the gas supply line into the post access hole (just above the
cement). Make a 90° bend to reach the access door opening.
The gas supply line should be trenched at least 18 inches below
the surface of the ground to prevent damage from digging.
CAU-
TION: The gas supply line must be regulated (in the case of
natural gas that means connected after your gas meter and
regulator) and that you have an easily accessible shut-off
valve.
3. At the access door connect a 3/8" flare coupling (not supplied by
MHP) to the gas supply line and Stainless Steel tubing. Position
the tubing in the top notch of the post. Bend the tubing at the top
end to match the Feed Line of the grill valve.
Do
not kink the
tubing.
Step 2: Attaching The Grill Head Bottom To The In-Ground
Post
(Fig. 1 & 2)
To attach the grill head to the post please refer to Step 3 of the Deck/
Patio installation procedures on page 7 and follow instructions.
When you complete the mount assembly Go to the Grill head
section and assemble the Grill Head.
TUBE BENDING
: For proper bending of the stainless steel tubing,
see page 12 for bending instructions.
3. Mount the grease cup holder to the rear flange hole with a
¼ - 20
x
¾" bolt and ¼-20
Kep nut. The grease cup holder is supplied with
the grill head.
