LIQUID PROPA NE INSTA LL ATION
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank with
type (1) valve connections. (Not included)
Never connect your gas grill to an LP tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12
inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the
maximum size LP gas tank to use. A propane tank
with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) must be
used. This safety feature prevents the tank from
being over-filled which can cause malfunction of
the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system
only. Be sure to read and follow all LP connection
instructions.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous
and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it
checked by your LP supplier. Always check for leaks
after every LP cylinder change. (See Checking For
Leaks)
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of children. If your
grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must be
stored outside, in upright position and away from
excessive heat.
CONNECTING TO A SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fitting (not provided)
or similar connection to connect a single gas line
to both a side burner and a grill. We recommend
a licensed gas technician install all gas lines. See
below figure for installation of a ‘T’ adapter.
IMPORTANT
All installation and all installation parts must
conform to local codes with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest
edition and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2
in Canada
LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Ventilation is require in the enclosure
on opposite sides to create cross-ventilation.
Liquid propane is heavier than natural gas and
vents should be located near the bottom of the
enclosure.
Before lighting the burners, inspect the gas
supply piping or hose. If there is evidence of
cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced
prior to use. Always keep your face and body
as far away from the grill as possible when
lighting.
WARNING!
