CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY LINE (OP BASE) continued
STEP 4C-OP
The gas supply line must be regulated (in the case of
natural gas that means it should be connected after your
gas meter and regulator) and you must have an easily
accessible main shut-off valve to your grill’s gas
supply. Grills are designed to operate on a pressure
of 7" w.c. in. for Natural or 11" w.c. in for Propane at the
grill valve connection.
When installing a new gas line, it is recommended that you contact a plumber, heating contractor
or licensed gas fitter to install your new gas line to meet local building code. Be certain there are no
combustible materials closer than 18" away (above, behind, left or right) from your assembled grill.
Attach Natural Gas Line to the GGCTSS Flex Tube
•
Connect a 3/8" flare coupling (not supplied by MHP) to the
gas supply line then the flexible stainless-steel tubing
(GGCTSS) using a 3/4" wrench. The use of two wrenches is
recommended—one wrench is used to hold fitting while the
other is used to tighten.
Tighten very securely as flare fittings are
a metal-upon-metal surface seal and no
additional gas sealant is needed.
