Connecting Your Grill To The Natural Gas Source - Char-Broil The Big Easy 4638234 Assembly & User Manual

Connecting Your Grill to the Natural Gas Source

1. Coat pipe nipple with gas resistant dope. Screw socket onto
gas manifold at gas source (A).
2. Connect unattached end of natural gas hose to socket. Push
sleeve back on socket (B) and insert plug until sleeve snaps
forward, locking plug into socket.
When socket and plug are connected, valve in socket opens
automatically to permit full gas flow. When coupling is
disconnected, valve in socket instantly and positively shuts off
flow of gas. Because valve in socket positively shuts off flow
of gas, grill can be disconnected from gas source by
disconnecting hose from socket. Socket can be left on
manifold of gas source if so desired.
WARNING
• Connection to gas source must be done by a certified
Plumber.

Please Note: Hose and assembly are A.G.A. Certified and
C.G.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 be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of ½ psig (3.5kPa).
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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
WARNING
• Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this
type of grill to a 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 breakage of metal pipe.
