enclosure. This allows for easy access to connect the gas piping in the enclosure
to the shut-off valve. If a gas supply stub-up is used inside the grill enclosure,
an external shut-off valve close to the grill is still recommended.
NOTE: A licensed plumber should be used to install the gas
supply line to the grill.
The gas supply line from your home should be routed to the left rear corner of
the grill inside the grill enclosure. It is recommended that hard piping be used to
connect to the inlet of the natural gas appliance regulator. Constant movement
of flexible gas lines could cause fatiguing of the flexible line and result in gas
leakage. If hard piping is not used for the home supply line, any flexible gas
lines must be supported within the enclosure to prevent constant movement and
fatiguing.
PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE GRILL IN THE ENCLOSURE:
1. Turn the home gas source to the OFF position.
2. Install the supplied 4 inch water column regulator to your hard piped,
natrual gas supply line. It is recommended that the regulator be located
inside the grill enclosure. The inlet and outlet sides fo the the regulator are
noted by markings on the regulator body. SEE FIGURE A.
3. The grill is now ready to be installed in the enclosure. Take care not to
damage the regulator during installation. Two persons are required to lift the
grill and place in the enclosure.
