Install Gas Supply
General Specifications for Piping
Note - Contact your local municipality for building
codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installa-
tions. In absence of Local Codes, you must con-
firm to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE REC-
OMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY
A PROFESSIONAL.
Some of the following are general requirements taken
from ANISI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifi-
cations.
■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of
water column pressure (.2526 psi).
■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,
immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.
■ An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should
be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible
location near the supply line
■ The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT
thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect
fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically
shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the
barbecue is disconnected
■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizon-
tally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the
open end pointing upward can result in collecting
water and debris.
■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep
the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean
while disconnected.
■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to
the action of natural gas when connections are made.
■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to
rigid, permanent construction.
ƽ WARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under
a deck. The hose must be visible.
