Natural gas Installation and connection
z
Check with your local gas utility company or local codes for instructions on installing
gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury
the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint
or pipe sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of
combustible gases.
z
Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow away from the
gas supply.
z
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1.2 psi (3.5 kPa).
z
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
z
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location.
z
Use threading compound on male threads only.
z
Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings.
z
In Massachusetts such shut-off valves must be approved by the Board of State
Examiners or Plumbers & Gas Fitters.
z
All piping and hoses are to run away from the product and never against the
product surfaces.
z
Natural Gas: Operating pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply Pressure 5" to 14" W.C. If in excess
of 14", a stepdown regulator supplied by installer is required.
z
All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for
Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
