LP bulk tanks require a special regulator and fittings
not included with your grill and must be installed by
a qualified technician (see Table A.1 on page 7 for
specifications).
Permanent Installation
CAUTION:
GAS PIPING TO YOUR GRILL MUST BE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES. IN THE
ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, USE THE NATIONAL
FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (LATEST
EDITION) OR CAN/CGA B-149.1, NATURAL GAS AND
PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE.
CAUTION:
THE GAS SUPPLY MUST BE TURNED
OFF AT THE GRILL WHEN THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT
IN USE.
When ordered for use with Natural gas, the Sterling and
Sterling G-Series grills come adjusted to operate with
Natural gas. Qualified personnel should install the gas
line. A Shut-off Valve at the grill is required. This Valve
must be design certified by CSA International.
The grill and shut-off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5
kPa).
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).
Gas Leak Test
WARNING:
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO
PERFORM LEAK TEST!
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE GRILL
WHEN YOU SMELL GAS OR FAIL A GAS LEAK TEST.
Make sure there is no open flame near the grill during the
test. Test for leaks every time the gas is re-connected.
Procedure:
1. Turn all Burner Output Knobs to OFF.
2. Open the Gas Cylinder Valve or the gas shut-off
valve (permanent installation) slowly. Apply soapy
water solution to all connections including factory
connections.
3. Look for bubbles around the connections. If bubbles
can be seen, close the Gas Cylinder Valve or the gas
shut-off valve and tighten the connection where the
bubbles are. (Replace damaged or defective
connections and gas supply components as
necessary) Then, repeat steps 1 and 2 until no
bubbles appear. Make sure not to over-tighten the
connections.
4. Proceed with grill use.
