Step 8
Connect barbecue gas supply line to the natural gas supply
Note - We recommend that the connection between the barbecue gas supply line and the natural gas supply be flare to flare. A
You will need: barbecue gas supply line, 3/8 inch flare fitting, 3/4 inch and 11/16 inch wrenches.
mWARNING: This barbecue is NOT portable. It must be bolted down at all times when it is connected to a natural gas supply.
Unscrew the 3/8 inch flare fitting from the barbecue gas supply line. Apply pipe sealant to the threads of the pipe fitting. Screw the pipe fitting end of the 3/8 inch flare fitting into the natural gas supply pipe. Tighten with an 11/16 inch wrench. Figure 16 (a).
Attach the flare nut on the barbecue gas supply line to the flare fitting end of the 3/8 inch flare fitting. Tighten with a 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 16 (a).
Attach the flare nut at the other end of the barbecue gas supply line to the manifold fitting. Tighten with a 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 16 (b).
