The Post Base (Sterling II only) is designed to be installed
in a bed of concrete to a depth of 17

". The height of
the grill cooking surface should be roughly 38

" from
the ground. (See Figure 4 & 5.) The line gas connection
is located on the left side of the post. The gas connection
is SAE 45° female flare.
The Post Base is constructed of stainless steel, which is
highly corrosion resistant. However, a suitable means of
corrosion protection should be used, as necessary, due to
corrosion conditions at the installation site.
The installation of your grill must conform to local codes
or, in absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation
must conform to local codes and/or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1.
