INSTALLATION

GAS HOOK-UP

Note: All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances
and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
GAS REQUIREMENT
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rat-
ing plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located underneath the drip tray. Never connect an
unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use the gas regulator provided with the unit, even if the supply is
controlled.
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied
parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 Natural
Gas Installation Code or CSA B149.2 Propane Installation Code. In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be
approved by the Board of State Examiners or Plumbers & Gas Fitters.
All pipe sealants must be an ap proved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on
flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from Customer Care. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the
model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
BH1-30R - 64,000 Btu/hr or 67.5MJ/h BGC30-BQ 50,000Btu/h or MJ/h
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 test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The appliance must be iso-
lated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of
this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in Can ada must be in
accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling
Code, B149.2 and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP:
CONNECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A
CERTIFIED OR LICENSED TECHNICIAN ONLY.)
Connection: 1/2" NPT female with 3/8" flare adapter.
Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C. 1.0kPa Supply pressure:
5" (1.2kPa) to 14" water column (2.7kPa). If in excess of
14" W.C., a step down regulator is required. Check with
your local gas utility company or local codes for instruc-
tions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on
type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the
gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly.
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be
resistive to the actions of LP gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED
WITH THE GRILL:
Assemble as shown (Fig. 07). Use threading compound
on male threads only. Do not use threading compound
on the male end of the 1/2" NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use
a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that
the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to
place the installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):
Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for connection to
a standard 20 lb / 9kg. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
