Before proceeding, you need to establish the gas type which
your barbecue will run on, and the style of installation you
need.
NATURAL GAS OR ULPG
Before beginning installation or assembly, check that the gas type
which the barbecue is designed for is correct for the gas available
to you. In most countries the choices are natural gas or ULPG.
You will find the gas type label on the side of your barbecue. If your
barbecue uses the incorrect gas type, or if you are unsure, consult
your dealer before going any further. Using the wrong type of
gas for a barbecue is extremely dangerous.
Natural Gas Conversion
: Most newly purchased barbecues are
made for ULPG. A natural gas conversion kit is available to allow
your barbecue to run on natural gas.
FIXED (PIPED) INSTALLATIONS
Piped Natural Gas
: Although installation costs are higher, this is
typically the least expensive way to run your barbecue. Natural gas
is delivered via pipeline to a gas meter near the
perimeter of your home. From the gas meter, gas is taken by a
further series of pipes to each appliance that uses natural gas.
Piped ULPG
: Some properties do not have natural gas available to
them. In these cases, the local gas supply company may be able
to provide two 45 Kg (100 lb) cylinders permanently installed on the
outside of your home. These are refilled for you by the gas company
based on your usage patterns. Copper pipe is then run from these
cylinders to each appliance that
uses ULPG.
There are two methods of connecting the gas to your barbecue,
both of which require the services of a licensed gas fitter:
•
For built in (ie non-mobile) installations, the barbecue inlet
can be connected directly to copper piping. From here the
barbecue cannot be moved.
