Lp Gas - Viking VQGI5301 Installation Manual

GAS CONNECTIONS
For freestanding units using natural gas, using a metal fl ex hose
is recommended.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer.

LP GAS

Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regula-
tor assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder.
(Type 1). All fi ttings necessary to attach the
grill are included.
LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with a
bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set
for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator
cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger to see
what fuel type is visible. This is the
is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can
be further identifi ed by the large diameter disk on the bottom
of the plunger. To change from one gas to the other simply
push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the
plunger so it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and
push the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then
replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.

WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use
any other assembly than the one supplied with your
grill.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped
tor/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/
valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near
this appliance.
Never fi ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a fi re
causing death or serious injury may occur.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifi cations for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type
1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the pro-
vided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental movement.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refi ll, exchange only for a
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be
avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See
INDEX: "Leak Test" for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the grill
is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out
of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP
cylinder must be stored outside.
LP Connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible for
the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon as you
start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the connec-
tion.
