for a Patio grill requires a greater amount of ventilation because the flow of air pro vides
some cooling and the secondary air for combustion.
General Overview
Converting Your Grill To a Different Type Gas: To convert your grill from LP to Natural
or Natural to LP gas use, a TEC conversion kit is required and must be installed by a
qualified technician.
Regulator: WARNING: NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO A GRILL.
FOR YOUR SAFETY ONLY USE THE REGULATOR PROVIDED WITH YOUR GRILL,
or if replacements parts are necessary use only TEC specified replacement parts as
these parts have been pre-adjusted to the required gas pressure of the grill. A pressure
regulator must be installed on all grills and failure to do so can result in fire or serious
personal injury, property damage, and/or death. The regulator for Natural gas units is
permanently attached to the grill at the factory prior to shipping, and only a qualified
technician should perform the required plumbing. Bulk Tank Application: The regulator/
hose assembly included with TEC LP Gas grills cannot be used with a LP Bulk Tank.
A TEC specified bulk tank regulator must be purchased separately and attached to the
grill (by a qualified technician) and used in conjunction with the regulator that is installed
on the bulk tank.
Gas Supply Pressure Requirements (Inches of Water Column)
Your grill has been factory set to use either Propane (LP) or Natural Gas. Use only the
gas type designated for your grill. Failure to use the correct gas type can cause your
grill to over fire or under fire. The designated gas type is specified on the serial number
plate of the grill.
Place the LP cylinder inside the grill cabinet between
the tank supports and secure its upright position by
strapping it into place with the tank straps that are at-
tached to the tank supports.
