Propane Gas Connection:
◼ FUEL TYPE: The following instructions are for a Propane configured grill. Operating Pressure: 11” WC.
◼ HOSE & REGULATOR: The pressure supplied to the grill must conform to what is listed on the rating plate of
the grills (11” WC). If the supply pressure is great, a regulator must be installed (regulator not included).
◼ BUILT IN PROPANE GAS HOOK-UP:
1. The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the qualified installer and piping should be located as
shown below. (Fig. 7)
2. A flexible metal connector pipe (ordered separately) simplifies the installation of the unit.
3. Connect this flexible metal connector to the flare fitting on the end of the manifold.
4. Connect the other end of the connector to the gas piping.
5. The Flexible connector must not pass through a wall, floor, ceiling or partition, & is protected from damage.
6. Do not use a hose to connect the unit except to connect the cylinder regulator to the piping system.
7. Do not run hose in areas where heat damage could melt or burn the hose.
8. The propane hose & regulator assembly must be connected with rigid pipe, copper tube, or an approved
flexible metal connector which complies with Z21.4/CSA 6.10.
9. The installation must comply with CAN B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane installation code in
Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI
Z223.1 in the United States.
10. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to
supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate,
based on the length of the piping run.
11. If installing a side burner, a spate line must be
branched off to the side burner unit and enter the
side burner opening at the specified location.
◼ BUILT IN PROPANE CYLINDER ENCLOSURES:
1. Built in cylinder enclosures which completely
enclose the cylinder must have both of the
following:
a. At least one unobstructed ventilation opening on
the exposed exterior side of the enclosure
located within 5 in (127mm) of the top of the
enclosure. The opening must have a total free area of more than 20 square inches (130 cm square) for a 20lb
(9.1kg) cylinder.
b. At least one ventilation opening on the exposed, exterior side of the enclosure located 1 in (25.4mm) or less
from the floor level. The opening must have total free area of more than 10 inches squared (65 cm squared)
for a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder. The upper edge must be no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the floor level.
2. Every opening must be large enough to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) rod.
3. The cylinder valve must be readily accessible for hand operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to
the cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools. The
cylinder valve must be visible.
4. There must be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (51mm) between the floor of the LP-gas cylinder enclosure
and the ground.
5. The enclosure must be designed so that the LP-gas cylinder can be connected, disconnected and the
connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure. Any connections that can be disturbed when
installing the cylinder in the enclosure must be accessible be for testing inside the enclosure.
6. Maximum Cylinder Size: 20 lbs. (9 Kg)
7. Measurement: (approximately) Diameter: 12’’(30.5cm) X Height: 18” (45.7cm):
8. USA: All LP cylinders used with this grill must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP (Propane) Gas Cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Refer to your
propane cylinder collar for markings.
9. CANADA: All propane cylinders used with this grill must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339; Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods and Commission. Refer to your propane cylinder collar for markings
