Natural Gas Hook-Up
This natural gas grill is supplied with a 10 supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural
gas and cered for outdoor use. The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water
column. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installaon must com ply
with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installaon code in Canada, or to the Naonal Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be suciently sized to supply the BTU/h specied
on the rang plate, based on the length of the piping run. The quick disconnect must not be installed in an
upward direcon and a readily accessible manual shut-o valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to,
the quick disconnect as is feasible. The ared end of the hose must be connected to the ng on the end of
the ex tube as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Aachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not
use thread sealer/pipe dope.) These connecons must be made by a licensed gas installer. Leak test all joints
prior to using the gas grill.
WARNING!
• The installaon must be performed by a licensed gas er, and all connecons must be leak tested before
operang the grill.
• Do not route hose underneath drip pan.
• Do not route hose between space in boom shelf and back panel.
• Do not route hose over top of back panel.
• Ensure all hose connecons are ghtened using two wrenches. Do not use teon tape or pipe dope on
any hose connecon.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces, or it may melt and leak causing a re.
• Do not use enclosure to store excess hose, as there is a greater chance of the hose contacng a hot surface,
it may melt and leak causing a re.
• Leak test all the connecons using a soap and water soluon, as per the leak tesng instrucons found in
the this manual.
Leak Tesng Instrucons
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and each me a cylinder is hooked up or if a part
of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING! Never use an open ame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open ames are
in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ames will result in a re or explosion, damage to
prop erty, serious bodily injury, or death.
Leak tesng: This must be done before inial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced
or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignion. See Leak Tesng
Dia gram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the o posion. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half soluon of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connecons of the regulator, hose,
manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either ghten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommend ed
by the Napoleon Customer Care department and have the grill inspected by a cered gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut o the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill inspected
by a cered gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill unl the leak has been corrected.
