LP/PROPANE GAS CYLINDER CONNECTION
Outdoor wok/cookers orificed for use with LP/Propane cylinder gas
come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder
equipped with
a Type 1, QCC-1 connector.
(See LP/Propane tank requirements)
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. Also, in a built-in construction where an
LP/Propane tank is going to be used, there MUST be some type of
support (braces, cut-out, etc.) to prevent tank from moving within the
installation. The support must also allow the LP/Propane tank to withstand
a horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of the tank without tipping
over. The tank can not tip over or deflect more than 1.00 inch when a 38 lb.
horizontal force is applied to a 20 lb. LP/Propane tank.
Connection: 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male with a 3/8” (.95 cm) flare adapter
Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P.
TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE LP/PROPANE REGULATOR/HOSE ASSEMBLY IN A
CABINET INSTALLATION
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the quick disconnect system is disconnected as part
of its safety feature, you should always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve off after each use
and during transport of the tank or unit. First connect the regulator to the grill unit by pulling
back the coupler sleeve towards the regulator and inserting the 1/2” (1.3 cm) fitting into the
coupler. Release the sleeve and continue pushing the inlet into the coupler until the sleeve
snaps forward securing the connection. Then connect the hose assembly to the LP/Propane
tank. by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank connector. Turn the
main tank valve on and turn the burner control valve on the unit to any position for about 20
seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burner.
NOTE: INSPECT THE HOSE BEFORE EACH USE. IF IT IS EVIDENT THERE IS EXCESSIVE
ABRASION, WEAR OR THE HOSE IS CUT, IT MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO USE.
BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION, ALWAYS CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WITH
A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION OR OTHER ACCEPTABLE METHOD. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!!! LEAK TESTING OF THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE
CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

TO CONNECT WOK/COOKER DIRECTLY TO GAS LINE IN
A CABINET INSTALLATION
First screw the brass 1/2” (1.3 cm) fitting of the regulator in to
the 3/8” (.95 cm) brass flare adapter. Ensure that the
regulator arrow points in the direction of the gas flow towards
the unit and away from the supply.
DO NOT
use threading
compound on the male end of the 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT to 3/8”
(.95 cm) flare adapter. Connect the regulator assembly to the
grill unit by pulling back the coupler sleeve towards the
regulator. Insert the fitting on the grill unit into the coupler.
Release the sleeve and continue pushing the fitting into the
coupler until the sleeve snaps forward securing the
connection.

GAS CONNECTION
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP/Propane and make sure the marking on the wok/cooker
rating plate agrees with that of the supply. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplier
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 National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. Installation in Canada
must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane
Installation Code and/or local codes.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. 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 local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSIZ223.1-
latest edition.
The wok/cooker 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 wok/cooker 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 PSIG (3.5 kPa).
NATURAL OR LP/PROPANE FIXED PIPING CONNECTION
Connection: Standard Residential 1/2” (1.3 cm) gas service line -1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male with 3/8” (.95 cm) flare adapter.
Operating Pressure: 4.0 W.C.P. Natural or 10.0” W.C.P. LP/Propane
Supply Pressure: 6” to 14” W.C.P. If in excess of 14” W.C.P., a step down regulator is required.
Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to
check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the unit will not function
properly. Any joint sealant must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of natural or LP/Propane gas.
