Leak Testing Instructions - Napoleon BILEX730 User Manual

BUILT IN NATURAL GAS HOOK-UP: The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the installer and
piping should be located as shown in the built-in instructions. A flexible metal connector is included
to simplify the installation of the unit. Connect this connector to the flare fitting on the end of the
manifold. Connect the other end of the connector to the gas piping. Ensure that the connector does not
pass through a wall, floor, ceiling or partition, and is protected from damage. The installation must be
performed by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with AS5601 / AG601, and all connections must be leak
tested before operating the grill.
Do not use a hose to connect the unit. It must be connected with rigid pipe, copper tube or an approved
flexible metal connector which complies with with AS5601 / AG601. The gas supply pipe must be
sufficiently sized to supply the kPA specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. If
installing a side burner, a separate line must be branched off to the side burner unit and enter the side
burner opening at the specified location.
WARNING!
Built in units are supplied with a drip pan which holds only a minimal amount of
grease. To prevent grease fires, the pan must be cleaned after each use.
WARNING!
Access must be provided to the inside of the enclosure to make gas connections.
DANGER!
Read all instructions carefully before operating the grill. Failure to follow these
instructions exactly could result in a fire causing serious injury or death. The entire installation must be
leak tested before operating the grill.
Note: The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 1.00 kPA and must be checked after
installation by turning all burners on and measuring at the regulator outlet test point provided.
This unit includes an internal regulator which stabilizes
the gas pressure and improves grill performance. This
regulator cannot be adjusted. There is a pressure tap
located on the side of the regulator. It can be used by
a qualified service person when servicing the grill to
determine if the regulator is functioning properly. The
screw within the pressure tap must always be kept tight,
except when performing a pressure test on the regulator
(qualified service personnel only).

Leak Testing Instructions

WARNING!
A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a
part of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING!
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames
are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion,
damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.
Leak testing: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are
replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak
Testing Diagram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator,
hose, manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one
recommended by the Napoleon Customer Care department and have the grill inspected by a certified gas
installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill
inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak has been corrected.
