Mountings
Step 1: Patio Base Mounting Assembly (Fig. 5)
1. Turn base on edge and insert the 2’ post. Align the
notches in the post with the notches in the base. IM-
PORTANT: Close tolerances may require you to tap
the top of the post to seat it completely in the base
socket which will then align the bolt slots.
2. Fasten post to base with four ¼ - 20 x ¾" Hex bolts,
washers and Kep nuts. Follow exact placement of
washers as indicated. Tighten securely.
3. Attach the tube clip with the 8 - 32 self-tapping screw
either on the right or left side of the base depending
on the direction of your gas supply line.
Step 2: Deck/Patio Mounting Installation
(Fig. 6)
Position the patio base at the desired location on a
deck or patio. CAUTION: Be certain there are no
combustible materials above, behind, left or right
closer than 24" away.
1. Mark the location of the four holes at the outside
corners of the patio base and drill four holes. The
base will be fastened down with lag bolts (not sup-
plied by MHP) after you have connected the gas
supply line. The top post notch is the front and the
rear access door will be in the back of the grill.
2. Run the gas supply line into the post from the bot-
tom to reach the access door and bend it 90° to
exit the base at either notch. The patio base is
notched on two sides to allow the gas line to exit
either right or left.
3. Secure the gas line with the tube clip. (Option: On a
raised deck if the gas supply line is to be run straight
up into the post from below use the tube clip to attach
the gas line to the deck for support.
4. At the access door connect a 3/8" flare coupling (not
supplied by MHP) to the gas supply line and Stainless
Steel tubing. Position the tubing in the top notch of the
post. Bend the tubing at the top end to match the Feed
Line of the grill valve. Do not kink the tubing.
TUBE BENDING: For proper bending of the stainless steel
tubing, see page 26 for bending instructions.
Step 3: Attaching The Grill Head Bottom To The
Deck/Patio Post (Fig. 7 & Fig. 8)
1. To make the post-to-flange connection easier, re-
move the grill burner by taking out the small clip lo-
cated under the bottom grill head. This will allow ac-
cess to hold the Kep nuts inside the post.
2. Set the grill head bottom carefully in place, align
holes and use the ¼ - 20 x ¾" bolts and ¼-20 Kep
nuts to attach the grill flange to the post.
