FOR PERMANENT CONNECTIONS
to natural gas or
a fixed propane supply, an authorized person, in
accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, the AGA
installation code AS5601 and any other relevant
statutory regulations, must be employed. Note the
installer must test the BBQ when the installation
is completed before leaving to make sure the
appliance operates correctly and is safe for the
operator to use.
The gas inlet connection must have a thread in
accordance with AS. 150 7.1 or AS. 1722.2
For connection to a natural gas bayonet fitting,
a gas regulator must be fitted at the inlet of the
appliance, and an approved 13mm, class A, natural
gas hose (no longer than 2 metres), going from the
gas regulator to the bayonet point, complying with
AS1869 must be used.
Where a mobile appliance is to be connected to
a fixed gas supply via a flexible hose connection
the restraining cord supplied must be fixed to the
appliance and the wall/floor within 50mm of each
connection point. The length of the restraining cord
shall not exceed 80% of the length of the hose as it
is designed to prevent stress on the hose assembly
when the appliance is moved out of its normal
operating position.
It is recommended that an isolation valve and union
be fitted before the barbecue; refer AS5601/ AG601
for correct pipe sizing to ensure adequate gas is
supplied to the appliance.
For natural gas check the pressure of the regulator,
and adjust if necessary to the pressure shown on the
data plate.
