USE AND CARE

Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators
Above 1/2 psi.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators were
set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches water column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas
Code, a change was made allowing service regulators
of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an in line
regulator be connected between the service regulator
and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5 psi system is
used. This additional regulator is not supplied with the
product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the connection
themselves, or a plumber, not checking, to tap into a 2
or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or greater is supplied
to the appliance regulator on certain grills it will shut
down and not deliver any gas to the grill. Other
concerns are the quick disconnect socket and hose
which are only rated to 1/2 psi.
If the quick disconnect socket, hose, and grill are
properly connected and still not getting gas, delivery
pressure needs to be verified. If pressure is greater
than 1/2 psi, make sure that an in line regulator is
present.
Once the grill has been over-pressured, the regulator
may or may not have been damaged. The best practice
is to replace the regulator.
WARNING
This grill is designed for natural gas use at 7 inch water
column supply pressure. Verify supply pressure with your
local gas company. If supply pressure is different than 7 inch,
contact a certified plumber for assistance. Not for use with
LP gas.
DANGER
Connection should be made by a certified plumber. Supply the
plumber with a copy of these instructions. Incorrect
connection can result in a gas leak with possibility of fire.
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 dope or
teflon tape. Screw socket onto gas supply pipe (house gas
source) as shown in Figure A
Quick disconnect 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
Gas hose Sleeve
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 , on the following page, shows properly
connected hose and socket.
