SIDE BURNER ACCESSORY CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
WARNING
Never connect a gas line directly to the accessory. A pressure regulator must be installed on all gas equipment.
All local codes require that the pressure regulator supplied with your accessory is used. Removing or failing to
install the pressure regulator can result in fire and serious personal injury and will void the warranty.
The accessory is factory set to use either propane (LP) or
natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches
that which the accessory was set up for. You can verify that
by checking the
rating plate.
The rating plate is located on the heat shield behind the
front panel or on the back side of the accessory.
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements.
Do not operate the accessory on any gas other than that for
which the accessory has been set.

Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been
tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.
Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion
kit which is included with your side burner accessory and
must be installed by a qualified technician.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-1990 and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.
Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2
natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)
NATURAL GAS
Viking Range, LLC recommends that only qualified
professionals perform the required plumbing on this
product.
The gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the
total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that
will be connected to that line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1”
outside diameter be used.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances. Failure to meet these minimum requirements
may reduce performance of the accessory and any other
appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: “Gas Supply line runs”)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep any threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not put
sealant on any male end of flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
