Gas Requirements
GENERAL INFORMATION
Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line
can cause excessive heat or fire.
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and
make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for
an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill
from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.
Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions or modifications.
For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to
the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70- 2002, and the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use
pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service
technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the
installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002. Gas
conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model
number, and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.
This grill 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.).
This grill 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.).
The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
