General Specifications for Piping
Note - 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 ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
■ This grill is designed to operate at 10.5 inches of
water column pressure. A LP in line regulator may be
necessary to acheive this pressure.
CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a
locking valve should be considered.
■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the
action of liquid propane gas when gas connections
are made.
■ The gas connections must be firmly attached to rigid,
permanent construction.
Note: The information provided in this manual is
general for typical installations. We cannot cover all
possible installation ideas. We recommend, prior to
installation, that you contact your municipality for
local building codes and your local fire department
for installation requirements.

Gas line piping
■ Refer to the piping chart at the bottom of the page.
■ The corrugated gas line from the manifold is
48 inches long. Do not extend the gas line.
■ We have provided the means to make an SAE 45°
flare connection. Do not use pipe sealant on
this connection.
■ If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet,
use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used
for lengths greater than 50 feet.
Refer to piping chart below.
■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;
polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall
thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule
40) steel or wrought iron pipe.
■ Check you local building codes.
