Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved “outdoor” gas supply line.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: The installation of this grill must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NPFA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.

IMPORTANT: Grill must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.

Gas Conversion:

No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The conversion kits specified by the manufacturer must be used.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this grill must be used. The inlet (supply) pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

LP Gas:

Set pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP

Inlet (supply) pressure: 11" to 14" (27.9 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

Natural Gas:

Set pressure: 4" (10.2 cm) WCP

Inlet (supply) pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP maximum.

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet (supply) pressure.

Burner Requirements for High Altitude

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level. Orifice conversion is required for elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m). See “Assistance or Service” section to order High Altitude Conversion Kit.

Gas Supply Line Pressure Testing

Testing above ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge):

The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing below ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge) or lower:

The grill 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

Gas Connection Requirements

Natural Gas

Built-in grill models are equipped for use with Natural gas. They are design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane) gases with appropriate conversion.

Built-in models are set for Natural gas use and have a pressure regulator with ½" female pipe threads.

C. Rear of grill

D. To Natural gas supply

The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the grill and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing.
