Step 8
Connect barbecue gas supply line to the natural
gas supply
Note - We recommend that the connection between
the barbecue gas supply line and the natural gas
supply be flare to flare. A 3/8-inch flare fitting has
been included with the barbecue gas supply line of
your gas barbecue. The fitting is loosely connected for
shipping and should be removed before installation.
You will need: barbecue gas supply line, 3/8 inch flare
fitting, 3/4 inch and 11/16 inch wrenches.
ƽ
WARNING: This barbecue is NOT portable. It must
be bolted down at all times when it is connected to a
natural gas supply.
Unscrew the 3/8 inch flare fitting from the barbecue gas
supply line. Apply pipe sealant to the threads of the
pipe fitting. Screw the pipe fitting end of the 3/8 inch
flare fitting into the natural gas supply pipe. Tighten with
an 11/16 inch wrench. Figure 16 (a).
Attach the flare nut on the barbecue gas supply line to the
flare fitting end of the 3/8 inch flare fitting. Tighten with a
3/4 inch wrench. Figure 16 (a).
Attach the flare nut at the other end of the barbecue gas
supply line to the manifold fitting. Tighten with a 3/4 inch
wrench. Figure 16 (b).
Step 9
Check all valves are off
You will need: one burner control knob.
(Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should
check to be sure.) Put the knob on each valve. Check by
pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn
they are off. Proceed to the next step. Figure 17.
