CONVERTING TO NATURAL GAS
This grill is portable and configured for use with Liquid Propane (LP Gas), which
is delivered to the grill from removable tanks (LP tanks and their use are covered
elsewhere in this manual). If a Natural Gas connection is available, the user may wish to
change the gas delivery system to the more permanent Natural Gas supply.
This grill is certified for use with either Liquid Propane (LP Gas) or Natural Gas
and comes complete with the necessary parts to convert it for use with Natural Gas. The
Nexgrill patented Conversion Valves allows the use of Natural Gas without replacing the
burners or entire valve system.
Additional parts needed are a Natural Gas Supply Hose and Regulator Valve (if
necessary).
The process of converting is relatively simple and can be accomplished by any
handy homeowner. Nexgrill suggests, however, that a qualified gas technician do the
conversion. Your warranty may be voided if the conversion is improperly completed.
Please retain the parts supplied with the grill and these instructions so the technician can
do the conversion.
Orifice Chart
The different burner valves in this grill have different BTU ratings. This means
that the quantity of gas coming from each orifice varies in order to create the BTU's.
The holes in the orifices themselves are drilled to different sizes so as to allow the proper
amount of gas to flow through them. Please note the chart below to give an easy
reference for the various orifice opening sizes for the different valves in the grill.
