Planning Ahead
Planning the Gas Supply Location
Built-In Gas Line Location
A 58 inch (147 cm) main corrugated gas line is
connected to the manifold of the grill. Build an opening
for the corrugated gas line to pass through to the gas
supply enclosure, where connections to the bulkhead,
hose and regulator will be made.
NOTE: Leave an access in the “island” structure for gas
supply and regulator service that is outside the grill
cabinet.
The female quick-disconnect fitting must be installed
in an easily accessible location. If this compartment
is located directly adjacent to the grill unit, it must be
properly vented.
Never locate the access for the quick-disconnect
fitting and regulator service where it will be
obstructed after installation is complete.
WEBER recommends that a manual shuto valve also
be installed in an easily accessible location.
The gas supply enclosure shall house the included
hose and regulator assembly. The hose and regulator
are required parts of the built-in gas grill.
A properly constructed enclosure meets the
requirements for venting and separation from a heat
source.
NOTE: Contact your local municipality for building codes
regulating outdoor gas grill installations. You must
conform to the latest edition of the local and national code
as applicable.
Gas Supply Access
The area should be kept clear of sharp, jagged or
extremely abrasive surfaces to avoid possible damage
to gas supply lines. Exercise caution when pulling gas
lines through built-in structure.
NOTE: Gas supply enclosure door not included.
General Specifications
Contact your local municipality for building codes
regulating outdoor gas grill installations. In absence of
Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or
CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE
DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.
• This grill is designed to operate at 4.0" of water column
pressure (0.144365 psi).
• The quick-disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally or
pointing downward, but never pointing upward. Installing it
with the open end pointing upward can result in water and
debris collecting in the quick-disconnect fitting.
• The dust covers (plastic plugs supplied with your grill) help
keep the open ends of the quick-disconnect fitting clean
while disconnected.
• A manual shut-o valve must be installed outdoors, and be
accessible.
• An additional manual shut-o valve indoors should be
installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location
near the supply line.
• Pipe compound that is resistant to the action of natural gas
should be used when connections are made.
• The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid,
permanent construction.
Gas Line Piping
• If the length of the line required does not exceed 50 feet,
use a
5
⁄8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for
m DANGER: Use of any other hose and regulator
assembly could be dangerous, and may not
provide adequate gas supply to the gas barbecue,
and could result in a fire or an explosion causing
serious bodily injury or death and damage to
property.
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames
in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the barbecue if there is a
gas leak present.
m CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a
locking valve should be considered.
