General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken from ANSI Z223.1, for gas supply installations. Refer to ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications.

■This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of water column pressure (.2526 psi).

■A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.

■An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.

■The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected.

■The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting water and debris.

■The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected.

■Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are made.

■The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.

mWARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under a deck. The hose must be visible.
