Gas Hook-Up

INSTALLATION

GAS REQUIREMENTS

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located underneath the unit bottom. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use the gas regulator provided with the unit, even if the supply is controlled.

An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.

TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The appliance must be isolat- ed from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.

NATURAL GAS HOOK UP: (THIS TYPE OF CON-

NECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED OR LICENSED TECHNICIAN ONLY.)

Connection: 1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter. Oper-

ating pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply pressure: 5” to 14” wa- ter column. If in excess of 14” W.C., a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an ap- proved type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases.

TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:

Assemble as shown (Fig. 08). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards

Installer supplied shut-off valve must be easily accessible*

*Installation must conform with local codes or with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code

Do not put threading compound on these threads

the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):

Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
