LP/PROPANE FIXED PIPING CONNECTION
Connection: Standard Residential 1/2" ID gas service line - 1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter.
Operating Pressure: 10.0" W.C.P. Nat.
Supply Pressure: 11" to 14" W.C.P. Nat. If in excess of 14" W.C.P., a step-down regulator is required.
Check with your local gas utility company or with 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 lines. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly.
To connect the supplied regulator assembly to the incoming flexible gas line, attach with a 3/8" female flare adaptor to the
3/8" male flare adaptor to the regulator assembly. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of the gas flow
towards the unit and away from the supply. Attach the regulator assembly to the grill unit with the 3/8" female flare adapter on
the regulator assembly to the 3/8" male flare adaptor on the grill.
DO NOT forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

LP/PROPANE TANK CONNECTION
Side Burners orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector. (See LP/Propane tank
requirements on page 6).
Connection: 1/2" (1.3 cm) NPT male with a 1/2" (1.3) flare adapter
Operating Pressure: 10.0" W.C.P.
To connect to LP/Propane regulator/hose assembly:
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the quick disconnect system is 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 the tank or
unit. First connect the regulator to the unit by screwing the 1/2" flare coupling onto the 1/2" flare adapter.
Connect to the tank valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve
and check the connection between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water
solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection. Repeat until all leaks have been stopped.ALWAYS CHECK
FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK CHANGE
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP/Propane gas

LP/PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS
A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a cylinder
with a damaged valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD (overfilling protection device). This is a DOT
requirement for all tanks purchased after October 1, 1998 and will ensure that the tank is not overfilled. The LP/Propane
tank should be a standard 5-gal, 20 lb. gas cylinder tank approximately 12" in diameter and 18" high which must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP/Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. The cylinder connection device must be compatible with the Type
1, QCC-1 connector on the outdoor cooking appliance. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating
in an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for a 5LP-A connection. The cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. If the appliance
is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors
in a well-vented area out of the reach of children.
