Install gas supply

General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken from ANSI Z223.1, for gas supply installations. Refer to ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications.

■This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of water column pressure (.2526 psi).

■A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.

■An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.

■The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected.

■The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting water and debris.

■The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.

■Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are made.

■The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.

mWARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under a deck. The hose must be visible.

Gas line piping

■If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

■Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

■Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

■Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

■Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

■Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1.

mDANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

1000 SERIES specifications

The Weber 1000 Series grills are a popular choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts, delivering a combination of performance, durability, and innovative features. Designed to cater to both beginners and experienced grillers, the 1000 Series elevates cooking experiences with its user-friendly interface and high-quality manufacturing.

One of the standout features of the Weber 1000 Series is its powerful heating capability. Equipped with Weber's signature burners, these grills provide even heat distribution for consistent cooking results. The high-BTU gas burners ensure quick preheating and maintain steady temperatures, allowing users to sear steaks or grill vegetables to perfection.

The construction of the 1000 Series is robust, typically featuring a stainless steel main body that stands up to the weather elements, providing longevity and resistance to rust. The grills are designed for easy maintenance, with removable grease trays that make clean-up a breeze. Additionally, the enameled cast-iron cooking grates are not only durable but also contribute to excellent heat retention, giving food those coveted grill marks.

Another key technology incorporated in the Weber 1000 Series is the Flavorizer bars. These angled bars sit above the burners and catch drippings that can cause flare-ups. By converting these drippings into flavorful smoke, the Flavorizer bars enhance the taste of the grilled food. This feature is particularly appreciated by those who enjoy rich, smoky flavors in their dishes.

The series often includes features such as side tables for extra workspace, ensuring that you have enough room for food preparation and grilling tools. Some models also come with built-in thermometers that allow for precise temperature monitoring without lifting the lid, which helps to maintain cook times and prevents heat loss.

In terms of mobility, Weber 1000 Series grills often come equipped with wheels, making it easy to move the grill around your patio or backyard. With different configurations available, including both propane and natural gas options, users can choose the fuel type that best fits their grilling needs.

In conclusion, the Weber 1000 Series stands out for its combination of power, durability, and innovative features that simplify grilling while enhancing flavor. Whether you are hosting a backyard barbecue or having an intimate family dinner, the 1000 Series offers the performance and reliability that every grill master seeks. With its sleek design and thoughtfully engineered capabilities, this series continues to be a top choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts.
