Gas and Electrical Connection
Gas Connection
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either
natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the
grill rating plate agrees with that of the supply.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the
appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve
must be installed in an easily accessible location.
All installer supplied parts must conform to local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the
National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
In Canada:
Installation must be in accordance
with the current CSA-B149.1, Natural Gas
Installation Code or CSA-B149.2, Propane
Installation Code and/or local codes. All pipe
sealants must be an approved type and resistant
to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe sealant
on flare fittings. All gas connections should be
made by a competent technician and in
accordance with local codes and or ordinances. In
the absence of codes, the installation must
comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54. The gas grill and its individual
shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
PSIG (3.5 kPa). The gas grill must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). Built-in
installations must be plumbed using a fixed/hard
line if the unit is going to be operated at a
distance exceeding 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the
fuel supply per ANSI Z21.24 CSA.
Gas Conversion
To convert a grill from natural to
LP/Propane or LP/Propane to natural, you
MUST use conversion kit sold seperately.
