GAS HOOK-UP
Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill should be used. Any replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly must be specified by the grill manufacturer.
This is a liquid propane configured grill. Do not attempt to use a natural gas supply unless the grill has been reconfigured for natural gas use.
Total gas consumption (per hour) grill with all burners on “HI”:
Main burners | 36,000 Btu/hr. | |
Side burner | 12,000 Btu/hr. | |
Total | 48,000 Btu/hr. |
|
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.
L.P. Tank Requirements
A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), or the National Standard of Canada,
The cylinder must be provided with a shut valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Manifold pressure: (operating): 10” water column
(W.C.),
L.P. GAS HOOK-UP:
Ensure that the black plastic grommets on the LP cylinder valve are in place and that the hose does not come into contact with the grease tray or the grill head.
CONNECTION:
Your grill is equipped with gas supply orifices for use only with liquid propane gas. It is also equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20lb. L.P. cylinder
To connect the L.P. gas supply cylinder, please follow the steps below:
1.Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn clockwise to stop)
2.Check tank valve to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1 connection per ANSIZ21.81)
3.Make sure all burner valves are in their off position.
4.Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator assembly. Look for any damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local L.P. gas dealer for repair.
5.When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten the nut clockwise to a complete stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
6.Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks before attempting to light the grill, see below. If a leak is found, turn the tank valve off and do not use the grill until a local L.P. gas dealer can make repairs.
To disconnect L.P. gas cylinder:
1.Turn the burner valves off.
2.Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3.Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being
applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
