Step 12

Install side burner

You will need: side burner assembly, burner grate, manifold bracket, 3/4 inch, 5/8 inch and an 11/16 inch or two adjustable wrenches.

CAUTION: No sealant is required on the side burner fitting. Do not use pipe dope, tape or any other type of sealant on the fittings or hose.

Use an 11/16 wrench to remove the protective brass cap from the side burner fitting on the manifold. Figure 14.

CAUTION: When removing the cap use a 5/8 inch wrench to "hold" the side burner fitting to keep it from becoming loose. If the side burner fitting should loosen, tighten before attaching side burner hose.
