Gas Requirements & Hook-Up - Lynx L30PSR Care & Use Manual

Gas Requirements & Hook-up
Your grill is setup to use either
propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT).
It is very important that the
grill rating plate matches
with your gas supply.
The rating plate is located in one
or more of the following places:
• under the drip tray
• on the heat shield behind the
front panel
• on the inside left cabinet wall
(most freestanding grills)
Do not attempt to operate the
grill on any gas other than what
the grill is orificed for and what
the regulator is set for. Should
you need to convert your grill
for use with a different gas type,
a conversion kit, available from
your dealer, is required.
Never connect an unregu-
lated gas line to the grill.
NATURAL GAS
The installation of the grill must
conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, to
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z21.58D-2002 or latest edition. If
installed in Canada, installation
must be in accordance with Gas
Code CAN / CGA-B149.1/.2 and
local codes.
The gas supply line must be
sized to accommodate all the
gas-fired equipment that may
be connected to that supply,
i.e. total BTU output to be con-
sumed, needs to be determined
8
so as to calculate what size diam-
eter pipe is needed, for the total
length of pipe from the gas main
(at house) to grill hook-up. If the
gas line is too small, the grill will
not function properly. In no case
should pipe less than 3/4" in-
side diameter or 1" outside
diameter be used to connect
this product.
An installer-supplied gas
shut-off valve must be in-
stalled in an easily acces-
sible location. All install-
er-supplied parts must
conform to local codes
with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990
and the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z21.58D-2002.
The appliance and its individual
shut off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply
piping system during any pres-

sure testing of that system at
test pressures above 1/2" PSIG
(3.5KPA). The appliance must
be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its in-
dividual manual shut off during
any pressure testing. Do not ap-
ply threading compound to the
first two pipe threads as to avoid
clogging of the burner valves
and orifice. Do not put sealant
on any male end of flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is rec-
ommended that any flexible pipe
used be kept as short as possi-
ble. For freestanding units using
natural gas, it is strongly recom-
mended that a quick disconnect
kit from Lynx be installed. This
kit, part #LQD, is available from
your dealer.

Plumbing Requirements
on page 28 for additional
information
Fittings shown below are for a
typical installation and are not
supplied with the grill. As each
installation may require differ-
ent plumbing, Lynx recommends
that this step be performed by
a qualified technician.
