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 barbecue. 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 barbecue
cabinet.
The female bayonet fitting must be installed in an
easily accessible location. If this compartment is
located directly adjacent to the barbecue unit, it must
be properly vented.
Never locate the access for the bayonet fitting and
regulator service where it will be obstructed after
installation is complete.
WEBER recommends that a manual shutoff 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 barbecue.
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 barbecue 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 for Piping
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY A
LICENSED GAS FITTER.
NOTE: Contact your local municipality for building codes
regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. You must
conform to the latest edition of the local and national
code as applicable.
Following are some general requirements taken from
the code(s).
• The female bayonet fitting must be installed outdoors.
• An additional manual shutoff valve should be installed
in the branch fuel line, in an accessible location near
the supply line.
• The female bayonet 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 fitting.
• The female bayonet fitting must be firmly attached to a
rigid, permanent construction.
• The dust cover (plastic plug supplied with your gas
supply hose and the male bayonet fitting) helps keep
the open end of the male bayonet fitting clean while
disconnected.
DANGER: Use of any other hose and regulator
m
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.
DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
m
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
m
explosion.
DANGER: Do not operate the barbecue if there
m
is a gas leak present.
CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a
m
locking valve should be considered.

• When making connections, only use pipe compound
that does not react to the properties of natural gas.
• For the correct size and length of gas line piping, refer
to AS/NZS 5601.1 gas installations for piping and hose
requirements.
• Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material
which may corrode the piping, must be protected
against corrosion in an approved manner.
Pressure Testing the Gas Supply
Maxitrol regulators
This barbecue is designed to operate at 1.0 kPa.
To set nominal test point pressure to 1.0 kPa:
• On 360 models fitted with a Maxitrol regulator turn
three main burners on high. Adjust the regulator outlet
pressure to 1.0 kPa
• On 460 models fitted with a Maxitrol regulator turn
four main burners on high. Adjust the regulator outlet
pressure to 1.0 kPa
This WEBER built-in gas barbecue is not intended for
commercial use.
Use only AGA approved hose assemblies.
NOTE: The information provided is general for typical
installations. Not all installation techniques are covered.
We recommend to contact your municipality for local and
national building codes before installation and local fire
department for installation verification.
Connection Testing
All connections and joints should be thoroughly tested
for leaks in accordance with local codes. Follow the
leak test procedures in your Owner's Manual.
