Vermont Casting 6100 - Manual (Page 24)

A quick-connect coupling sleeve with 3/8”
female end is provided. Install the connector
socket at the pipe end, after the shut-off valve.
This must be installed where the grill will be in
use.
It is important to observe the safety
guidelines for choosing a safe location. The
gas supply must be shut off prior to installation
of the quick connector socket. Use only a
matching factory authorized quick-connect
plug with the quick-connect socket.
Natural-gas units are equipped with a 12-
footlong quick-connect fuel hose in place of
the shorter hose/regulator attached to the
burner valve.
Prior to inserting, turn on gas supply and test
all connections with an ammonia-free soap
and water solution. Apply this solution to the
stem of the shut-off valve and opening of the
socket to detect leaks. (See Leak Testing
Natural Gas Connections on the following
page).
The valve-orifices and fuel supply hose
system necessary for use with natural gas is
different than the system required for L.P. gas.
Modification to the burner valve/orifices allow
the use of natural gas. An L.P. cylinder is not
needed.
The maximum inlet supply pressure is 11.0"
w.c. for propane gas and 7.0" w.c. for natural
gas.
The specified supply pressure is 11.0" w.c.
for propane gas and 7.0" wc. for natural gas.
The piping system should be installed by a
qualified service technician in accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1) in the U.S.A., including:
1. 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. 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
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION FOR NATURAL GAS

Natural Gas Grills - Connecting to Natural Gas
EXPLOSIVE AND FLAMMABLE!
If the appliance is for connection to natural
gas, the gas connections should be made by a
qualified installer or a licensed plumber. The
gas-supply line must not be installed by the
consumer.
Do not use liquid propane (L.P.)
gas in an appliance designed for natural gas.
Use only natural gas in an appliance designed
for natural gas.
