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 on the inside back wall of
the Grill. Never connect an unregulated
gas line to the appliance.
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 70-1990, and the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
1988.
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 competent 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 Z223.1-1988. 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:
BGA26-BQ - 33,000 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 isolated 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 Z223.1a-1988.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.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP:
Connection:1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter. Operating pressure:4.0" W.C.
Supply pressure: 5" to 14" water column. If in excess of 14" W.C.a step down regulator is required.
Check with your local gas utility company or with 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 approved type and be
resistive to the actions of LP gases.
