ATTACHING TO GAS LINE
LEAK TESTING
Do not make sharp bends when bending your flexible
stainless-steel tubing to match the feed of your grill
valve and position in the top notch of the post.
The LP Hose and Regulator is factory installed on your
control panel. Make sure the LP hose runs through
the hose retention notch or clip
(depending on your
specific grill mounting)
. For additional information,
reference your grill mounting assembly manual.

After you have successfully assembled your grill—hook up your gas lines and check all connections.
For complete steps on connecting your grill to a gas line please refer to the instructions included
in the assembly manual for your specific mounting.
LEAK TEST ALL GAS CONNECTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
DO NOT LEAK TEST WITH A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.
DO NOT USE A GRILL THAT IS LEAKING GAS.
YOU SHOULD TEST FOR GAS LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU
DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT A GAS FITTING.
PERFORM A LEAK TEST EVEN IF YOUR GRILL WAS DEALER
OR STORE ASSEMBLED.
DO NOT IGNITE BURNERS WHEN LEAK TESTING.
LEAK TESTING STEPS
1.
Grill burner control valves should be turned off and
the gas turned on at source.
2.
Apply soap solution to all gas connections.
To make soap solution, mix together equal amounts
of liquid detergent and water.
3.
Soap bubbles will appear if there is a leak.
4.
Tighten the connection using a 3/4" combination
wrench and adjustable wrench to make the proper
seal (one wrench is used to hold the fitting while the
other is used to tighten). Recheck for soap bubbles.
If a leak is detected…
If you have detected a leak
try tightening and securing all
connections. The use of two
wrenches is recommended—
one wrench is used to hold
fitting while the other is used
to tighten.
v
For LP models, leak test with a full propane cylinder
.
v
For systems other than self-contained LP cylinders:
•
The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping systems
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
•
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its own manual shut off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
