Liquid Propane Gas Requirements (20-Pound
Cylinder)
Verify the type of gas your grill has been configured for by the factory by checking the serial
tag inside the door of the grill cabinet. Grills configured for liquid propane (LP) gas are orificed
differently than grills configured for natural gas (NG). Grills configured for use with 20-pound LP
cylinders (Type 1) are shipped with a dual-stage LP regulator hose assembly (see Figure 2).
Connection: LP regulator hose assembly (included) connects to the grill via 0.5" NPT male with a
0.375" flare adapter (included).
Input Pressure via LP regulator hose assembly: 11" W.C.
Operating Pressure: 10.5" W.C.
To connect the LP regulator hose assembly to the
LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank
is completely closed. Make sure also that all control
valves on the front of the grill are OFF.
Thread the regulator inlet over the tank valve. Use
care to ensure proper alignment of the threaded
coupler and avoid cross-threading or damaging
the coupler. Turn the green coupler clockwise until
tightened up, but do not over-tighten
To disconnect the LP regulator hose assembly from
the LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank
is completely closed. Make sure also that all control
valves on the front of the grill are OFF. Turn the
coupler counter-clockwise until disconnected.
IMPORTANT:
Always close the main valve on the tank
before disconnecting or transporting the tank.
IMPORTANT:
After connecting a fresh LP tank,
you may need to purge air from the system. Before
lighting, open the main valve on the tank. Turn the
control valves on the grill to the HIGH position for
about 15 seconds to purge air from the system. Turn
the control valves on the grill OFF and wait 5 minutes
for any gas to clear. Finally, continue with the normal
lighting procedure.
The installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the installation must conform
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54; Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58; Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1; or Propane Storage
and Handling, CSA B149.2.

Natural Gas Requirements
Verify the type of gas your grill has been configured for by the factory by checking the serial tag inside
the door of the grill cabinet. Grills configured for natural gas (NG) are orificed differently than grills
configured for liquid propane (LP) gas. Grills configured for use with natural gas are shipped with a gray
hose with a quick-connect fitting.
Connection: Quick-connect hose assembly (included) connects to the grill via 0.5" NPT male with a 0.375" flare
adapter (included).
Input Pressure: 7.0" W.C.
Input Connection: 0.5" male NPT fitting
Operating Pressure: 7.0" W.C. (cooktop burners) and 3.5" W.C. (all other burners via additional regulator
installed inside grill).
IMPORTANT:
Always close gas supply shut-off valve
before disconnecting the grill gas supply hose.
IMPORTANT:
An installer-supplied safety shut-off
valve MUST be installed on the
natural gas supply line for the grill. The valve should
be easily accessed and
located between 3 and 20 feet away from the grill.
All gas connections should be made by a qualified
technician. The installation and all installer-supplied
parts must conform to local codes. In the absence
of local codes, the installation and all parts should
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 or Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type.
IMPORTANT:
Diameter and length of the gas supply
pipe may limit the pressure and BTU delivery of gas
to the grill. The installer must ensure proper delivery
to the grill or it will not operate properly.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at
pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.
