GAS CONNECTIONS FOR SIDE BURNERS
(Natural Gas)
Remove the flare fitting located on the bottom
of the grill regulator. Attach the flare fitting
to the nipple on the bottom of the supplied "T"
assembly. Use threading compound on make
threads only. DO NOT use threading compound
on the male end of the ½" NPT to 3/8" flare
adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the
inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines
of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points
in the direction of the gas flow towards the unit,
away from the supply. Do not forget to place the
installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
(L.P./Propane Gas)
Make sure the main valve on the tank is
completely closed. Although the flow of gas is
stopped when
disconnected as part of its safety feature, you
should always turn the LP/Propane tank main
valve off after each use and during transport of
tank or unit. Remove the flare fitting to the
nipple on the bottom of the supplied "T"
assembly by screwing the hose onto the 3/8"
flare fitting. Pull back the coupler sleeve
towards the main knob and insert the fitting
into the coupler, release the sleeve and continue
pushing the inlet into the coupler until the
sleeve snaps forward securing the connection.
Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner
control valve on the unit to any position for
about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system
to purge before attempting to light the burner.
