Connecting Your Grill To The Natural Gas Source - Kenmore D02 M90221 Use And Care Manual

This unit should be hard plumbed using components
that meet National Fuel Gas Code.
WARNING
Do not use flexible gas hose supplied for Drop-in
Models.

Connecting Your Grill to the Natural Gas Source.

1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the
supply piping and the socket is recommended, but
not required, by the National Fuel Gas Code. Socket
connection must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant
pipe dope or approved teflon tape. Screw socket
onto gas supply pipe (house gas source) as shown in
Figure A below, and wrench-tighten.
CAUTION
The quick disconnect socket should never be
connected to the grill. Direction of gas flow is
indicated on the socket.

3. Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket
and insert the unattached end of the gas hose into
the socket. Release the sleeve and continue pushing
the hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps into
the locked position. See Figure B.

4.When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose
are connected, a valve in the socket opens
automatically to permit full gas flow. When the gas
hose is disconnected, the valve in the socket instantly
and positively shuts off the flow of gas. Because the
valve in the socket positively shuts off the flow of
gas, the grill can be disconnected from the gas
source by disconnecting the gas hose from the quick
disconnect socket. The socket should be left
attached to the gas source (house piping). Figure C,
below, shows properly connected hose and socket.
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be
removed without pushing the quick disconnect sleeve
back. To disconnect, push sleeve back and pull plug
House piping out of sleeve (this automatically shuts off gas).
Please Note: Hose and assembly are C.S.A. listed for
natural gas, manufactured gas, mixed gas and for
liquefied petroleum and for LP Gas-Air mixtures on
basis of 0.64 specific gravity for 1000 BTU's per
cubic foot of gas at 0.3 in. water column pressure
drop. Only ANSI Z21.54 approved hoses should be
used with this grill.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must
Figure A
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing on that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to
connect this type of grill to natural gas source. Use
only hose specified by manufacturer. Using hard
metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is an
unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause
Figure B
breakage of metal pipe.
