GAS CONNECTION
Connection:
1/2” NPT female.
Operating pressure:
4.0” W.C.
Supply pressure:
5” to 14” W.C.
If in excess of 14” W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility
company or 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 grill will
not function properly.
Connecting the fittings supplied with the grill
Use threading compound on male threads only. Use a 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.
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking
on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on
the underside of the drip tray. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You
must use a gas regulator even if the supply is controlled.
Gas conversion kits are available from Customer Care. When ordering gas conversion kits,
have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
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.).
