GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PIPING
Note: Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor
gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to
the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/
CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code
. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS
INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.
Some of the following are general requirements taken from the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code for complete specifications.
•
This barbecue is designed to operate at 4.5 inches of water column pressure (.163
psi).
•
A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the
quick disconnect.
•
An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel
line in an accessible location near the supply line.
•
The quick disconnect connects to a ½
inch NPT thread from the gas source. The
quick disconnect fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts off the
flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected.
•
The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally, or pointing downward.
Installing the fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting
water and debris.
•
The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick
disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.
•
Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas
when connections are made.
•
The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.
WARNING: Do not route the 10 foot hose under a deck. The
hose must be visible.
GAS LINE PIPING
•
If the length of the line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube.
One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.
•
Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a
minimum wall thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or
wrought iron pipe.
•
Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of
hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.
•
Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.
•
Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the
piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
•
Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.
TEST CONNECTIONS
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local
codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI
Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you
check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage
to property.

Preserve Your Stainless Steel -
Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves
may be made from stainless steel. To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a
simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. For
stubborn particles, the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners
on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause
scratches.
IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe
in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your
stainless steel.
