INSTALLATION

GAS HOOK-UP

GAS REQUIREMENT

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 on the bottom of the outdoor appliance. 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 outdoor appliance.

TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE OUTDOOR APPLIANCE WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI/ SEAR:

BFG-30G - 50,000 Btu/hr

BFG-30BGD - 49,000 Btu/hr

BFG-30BS - 34,000 Btu/hr

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 iso- lated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test- ing 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. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and

local codes.
