4. Connecting the Natural Gas Supply Line (con’t.)
NOTE: A licensed plumber should be used to install the gas supply line to the side burner.
The gas supply line from your home should be routed to the center rear panel of the side burner inside the side burner enclosure. It is
recommended that hard piping be used to connect to the inlet of the natural gas appliance regulator. Constant movement of flexible
gas lines could cause fatiguing of the flexible line and result in gas leakage. If hard piping is not used for the home supply line, any
flexible gas lines must be supported within the enclosure to prevent constant movement and fatiguing.
Prior to installing the side burner in the enclosure:
1. Turn the home gas source to the
OFF
position.
2. Remove the plastic protective cap from the ½”pipe fitting connection found at the bottom of the center rear panel of the side burner
(see Figure 5 ).
3. Apply pipe joint compound (not provided) to the ½” pipe fitting connection. The pipe joint compound used should be resistant to all
gasses.
4. Connect the natural gas appliance regulator (provided) to the ½”pipe fitting connection taking care to connect the outlet side of the
regulator to the pipe fitting connection (see Figure 6 ). The inlet and outlet sides of the regulator are noted by markings on the rear
of the regulator body.
