natural gas requirements:
Verify the type of gas to be used, either LP (propane), or Natural gas,
and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with
that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the outside back wall of
the grill.
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 70-1990, and the National Fuel gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-1988.
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 qualified technician and in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local
codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1-1988. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory.
When ordering gas conversion kits, please have the model # and gas
type (natural or LP) available from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION = 30,000 BTU/HR
The appliance 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
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
PSIG (3.5 kPa). The installation of this appliance must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223. 1a-1988. Installation in Canada must be in
accordance with the standard Can 1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code
for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOKUP:
Connection: 1/2” NPT male. Operating Pressure: 4.0” W.C.
Supply Pressure: 5” to 14” water column. If in excess of 14” W.C.
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 or run, and how deep to bury
the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly.
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive
to the actions of LP gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE SIDE BURNER:
Use threading compound on male threads only. Use second pipe
wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines
of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas
flow towards the unit, away from the supply.
Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an
accessible location.
