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 3/8-inch flare fitting has been included with the barbecue gas supply line of your Perma-Mount Gas Barbecue. The fitting is loosely connected for shipping and should be removed before installation.

You will need: barbecue gas supply line, 3/8 inch flare fitting, 3/4 inch and 11/16 inch wrenches.

WARNING: 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. 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 22 (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 22 (a).

Attach the flare nut at the other end of the barbecue gas supply line to the manifold fitting. Finger tighten only. Hold the supply line against the upright frame crosspiece and tighten the fitting at the manifold using the 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 22 (b).
