Natural Gas Model only:
Connecting Natural Gas To Your Side Burner
Connect the Swivel nut of the 12' Natural Gas
Hose to the vertical fitting of NG Regulator as
shown in Fig.1. Connect the other hose end (male
plug) to the gas supply line from your home. Read
and follow the "Natural Gas Safety Instructions"
below.
Natural Gas Safety Instructions
Your natural side burner is designed for use with
natural gas (NG) only. The gas pressure Regulator
supplied with this appliance must be installed and
used on your side burner. The unit and Regulator
are set to operate with an outlet pressure of 4" W.
C.
Install a Shutoff Valve at the gas supply source out-
doors at a point after the gas pipe exits the outside wall
and before the quick-disconnect hose. Or install it at
the point before the gas line piping enters the ground.
See Fig. 2.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant
to the action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe thread connections.
Disconnect your side burner from fuel source when
the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This
side burner and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during
any pressure testing of that system at pressure in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).
Turn off your side burner when the gas supply is being
tested at low pressures. The side burner must be
isolated from the gas supply pipe system by closing
its individual manual shutoff valve during any pres-
sure testing of the gas supply pipe system at pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).
The Quick Disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT
thread from the gas source. The Quick Disconnect
fitting is a hand operated device that automatically
shuts off the flow of gas from the source when it is
disconnected.
The Quick Disconnect fitting can be installed horizon-
tally or pinpointing downward. DO NOT install the
fitting with the opening pointing upward because the
fitting could collect water and debris.
The Dust Covers (plastic plugs) provided with the
Quick Disconnect Hose help keep the open ends
clean while disconnected.
WARNING: Do not route the 12 Foot Quick Disconnect
Hose under a deck. The hose must be visible and
inspected prior to each side burner use.

Check all connections for Natural Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with an open flame. Prior to first use
and at the beginning of each season, you must check
for gas leaks. Follow these three steps:
Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
Turn the side burner Control Knobs to their full OFF
positions. Next, turn the gas ON at the source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See Fig.3. If bubbles
appear in the soap solution the connections are
not properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten
or repair as necessary.
