NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
A typical natural gas installation is shown below. Make sure that the factory-supplied regulator is used
and installed with the arrow mark on the regulator pointing towards the gas grill. Use only pipe sealants that
are approved for use with natural and LP gases. An installer-supplied gas shutoff valve must be installed in an
accessible location.
Please note, when pressure testing, the following statements must be adhered to:
•
This gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping sys
-
tem during any pressure testing of that system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
•
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
CAUTION:
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION HOLES IN THE ENCLOSURE FOR SAFETY
PURPOSES IN THE EVENT OF A GAS LEAK.
CHECKING / CONVERTING THE REGULATOR
If the gas grill is factory built for natural gas, the regulator supplied is set for 4” water column. The
regulator is convertible to 10 in wc (2.48 kPa) for system LP application. Do not use with a 20-lb LP cylinder.
Make sure that the regulator is set for the correct gas type. To check, remove the brass hex cap. You will find
the conversion plastic pin attached to the cap to the underside of the cap. If the disc (1/2 in. diameter) of the
pin is close to the cap, then the regulator is set for natural gas. If the disc is at the tip of the pin, away from the
brass cap, the regulator is set for system LP application. To convert to natural gas, remove the plastic conver
-
sion pin and invert and replace it back in a manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap. For both natural
and LP, the maximum inlet pressure is 14 in wc (3.5 kPa).
