In-Ground Post Assembly

NOTICE: Assemble and install patio base before assem- bling grill.

The SS48G and BL48G In-Ground Posts are only for use with Broilmaster Gas Grills. Before proceeding with installation read your Owner’s Manual for the proper location and minimum clear- ances to combustible materials for your grill and in-ground post.

Verify that all parts listed in the exploded view of this product have been included before beginning this installation.

Recommended Tools:

•Drill/Driver

•Two adjustable wrenches or a socket set

•A medium Phillips screwdriver

•Pipe thread sealer or Teflon tape (for gas connections)

•Soapy water solution (to test for leaks)

The gas supply line should be trenched at least 10 inches below the surface of the ground to prevent damage from dig-

ging. CAUTION: The gas supply line must be regulated (In the case of Natural gas that means connected after your gas meter and regulator) and that you have an easily acces- sible shut-off valve.

At the access door connect a 3/8” flare coupling (not supplied by Empire) to the gas supply line and stainless steel tubing. Position the tubing in the top notch of the post. Bend the flex tube at the top end to match the Feed Line of the grill valve.

See Figure 2.

Note: Use pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape at the threads of each connection being careful to not allow any of these materials into the flare seat. Test for gas leaks as directed by the grill’s Owners Manual

Note: Do not attempt to cut or alter the stainless steel flex tube assembly in any way.

Note: For R Series Grills, a Cover Plate will be supplied, so the Flex Line will have to go through the hole on the cover plate before mounting the Grill bottom.

1.For two piece in-ground post using eight 10 x 1/2 Hex Head screws.Useblackscrewsforblackposts.Forthisapplication,use top set of holes in post assembly. See Figure 1.

NOTE: For SS48G and BL48G models, it is an option

to purchase a Post Extension through your Broilmas-

ter Dealer to increase Post Assembly length .

NOTE: The extension is available on the 48” post for applica- tions that may need more height.

Figure 1

2.Dig a posthole approximately 12” in diameter and 28 3/4” in depth at the desired grill location.

Note: “Normal Installation” height is achieved when the

top of the 48” post is 24 3/4” above ground. This height provides a cooking surface height of approximately 34” above ground when grids are placed in the high level.

Carefully lower the in-ground post into the hole using the fol- lowing guidelines:

•The rectangular cut-out is located near the TOP of the post and should be above ground after installation. See Figure 1.

•The rectangular cut-out must face in the SAME direction as the front of the grill.

•Hole depth and post measurements should be checked to ensure desired height.

Note: Make any adjustments at this time.

Prepare concrete or a standard pre-mix according to the man- ufacturer’s package directions. Position the 48” post in the center of the hole. A level should be used when aligning the post to achieve precise vertical alignment. Hold the post in place while pouring the concrete mixture into the hole around the post.
