Step 3: Gas Connections Inside the Kitchen Enclosure
Prior to connecting the gas supply lines to both the grill and
the side burner, the natural gas appliance regulators should
be installed to the ½" inlet pipes on each appliance.
Reference the product guides provided with the grill and the
side burner for additional gas information specific to each
appliance. The following gas components are recommended
for easy connection to the natural gas supply:
1. 3/8" OD flexible coated stainless steel gas supply line, 18"L
2. 3/8" OD flexible coated stainless steel gas supply line, 12"L
3. 3/8" OD flexible coated stainless steel gas supply line, 60"L
4. SAE 45 union tee male 3/8" tube OD MFL
5. (2) Adapter, 1/2" NPT Male x 3/8" SAE 45 MFL
Note: The front and side panels of the
kitchen enclosure are not shown to allow
view of the gas components inside

Gas connection components are sold separately. Alternate
gas components may be used as recommended by your gas
technician. All pipe thread connections should be sealed using
pipe dope sealant or thread tape rated for use with natural gas.
Do not use thread sealant on flare fitting connections.
All flexible gas lines should be secured within the enclosure to
prevent movement.

Step 4: Leak Check All Gas Connections
Prior to first use, leak check all gas connections made
both inside and outside the kitchen enclosure with
soapy water. Reference the product guides provided with
the grill and side burner for additional leak check
instructions. Periodically re-check the entire gas system
of your outdoor kitchen for leaks. If the smell of gas is
detected, and all burner gas valves are closed on both
appliances, immediately re-check the gas supply system
for leaks.
ICE CHEST DRAINAGE (on some models)
The ice chest will need to have a ¾ " I.D. drainage hose
connected to the drain barb underneath the ice chest and routed
either inside the enclosure or out the rear of the kitchen
through the 1" gap at the bottom of the rear panel. A contractor
can help you decide on the best solution for your needs. You are
responsible for ensuring all plumbing and drainage complies with
state and local codes.
Drainage Options
Five gallon bucket -- Place a five gallon bucket beneath the ice
chest drain inside the kitchen enclosure. This solution has the
advantage of being inexpensive and the least trouble to maintain
for winterizing you outdoor kitchen.
Drain to your garden -- if your yard is on a slope, you can take
advantage of this feature by draining ice chest water to a place in
your garden or lawn.
Drain to a dry well -- prepare a simple dry well within close
proximity to your outdoor kitchen and run the drain line to the
dry well.
Drain to your home plumbing system – potentially the most
complex and expensive option for drainage.

The drain line should slope downhill at a rate of ¼" or more
per foot.
