This grill must operate with a gas supply pressure of 11 inches water column (0.39 psi) for propane and 7 inches water column 

(0.25 psi) for natural gas. If the gas supply exceeds these requirements a regulator must be installed upstream of the grill’s 

components. If the gas supply is lower than the requirements, the unit will be under fired and will not reach the maximum 

temperatures. 

To a House Gas Supply Line

The piping up to the grill is the responsibility of the installer.

•  The gas pipe must be sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the 

rating plate, based on the length of the piping run.

•  If you are installing a side burner, a separate gas line must be 

branched off to the unit through a specific opening in that location.

1.  A readily accessible manual shut-off valve must be installed 

upstream of the unit. A flexible metal connector is included to 

simplify the installation. Connect the other end of the connector to 

the gas piping. 

2.  Tighten using two wrenches. Do not use thread sealer or pipe dope. 
3.  Ensure that the connector does not pass through a wall, floor, 

ceiling or partition, and is protected from damage. 

4.  Leak test all joints prior to operating the grill. See "

Leak Test

".

To a Portable Propane Cylinder

Only use a propane cylinder constructed and marked in accordance 

with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department 

of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and 

Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/

CSA-B339, as applicable.
The cylinder connection device must be compatible with the 

connection for this outdoor appliance.
The propane cylinder must have:

•  A shutoff valve with a QCC1 connection
•  A safety relief device
•  A collar to protect the valve
•  A listed Overfill Protection Device

1.  Check the cylinder for dents or rust, and have it inspected by 

your propane supplier.

2.  Ensure the gas regulator hose has no kinks.
3.  Do not route the hose in close proximity to the drip pan.
4.  Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel valve.
5.  Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. 

Hand tighten to right. Do not use tools. 

6.  Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces 

of the grill because it will melt and cause a fire.

7. Leak test all joints prior to operating the grill.
