Gas Hook-Up - DCS BE Series Installation Manual/User Manual

Gas Hook-up

Gas requirements
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural or combustible, and make sure the marking on the
appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the underside of the drip
tray. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use a gas regulator 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 combustible 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 combustible) from your grill.
Total gas consumption of the grill with all burners on HI
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 isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing 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.
All piping and hoses to run away from the product and never against the
product surfaces.
Natural gas built-in hook-up
(This should be performed by a technician only.)
Connection: 1/2" NPT female. Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C.
Supply pressure: 5" to 14" WC. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down
regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or
local codes for instructions 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 combustible gases.
To hook-up the fittings supplied with the grill
Assemble as shown (Fig. 07). Use threading compound on male
threads only. 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.
Bulk LP gas built-in hook up
Remove the brass elbow and LP regulator and hose. Install rigid
1/2" piping and step down LP regulator (11"wg) not supplied.
Note: when an LP unit is being directly connected to an
LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up
guidelines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator
to reduce the gas pressure to 11" W.C.
