Installation Safety Precautions
Natural Gas Conversion Kit (part # 42306) sold
separately and available through your local
dealer.
This grill is designed for natural gas use
at 7 inch water column supply pressure.
Verify supply pressure with your local
gas company. If supply pressure is
different than this, contact a certified
plumber for assistance. Once appliance
is converted to use with natural gas
(NG), do not use with LP gas.
Grill installation must conform with local codes,
or in their absence with National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1. Grill is not for use in or on
recreational vehicles and/ or boats.
All electrical accessories (such as rotisserie sold
separately) must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Keep any electrical cords
and / or fuel supply hoses away from any hot
surfaces.
This grill is safety certified for use in the United
States and Canada only. Do not modify for use in
any other location. Modification will result in a safety
hazard.

Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators
Above 1/2 psi.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators were
set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches water column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA54, the National Fuel
Gas Code, a change was made allowing service
regulators of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an in
line regulator be connected between the service
regulator and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5
psi system is used. This additional regulator is not
supplied with the product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the connection
themselves, or a plumber, not checking, to tap into
a 2 or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or greater is
supplied to the appliance regulator on certain grills
it will shut down and not deliver any gas to the grill.
Other concerns are if you use a quick disconnect
socket and hose these are typically only rated for
1/2 psi.
If a quick disconnect socket, hose, and grill are
properly connected and still not getting gas, delivery
pressure needs to be verified. If pressure is greater
than 1/2 psi, make sure that an in line regulator is
present.
Once the grill has been over-pressured, the regulator
may or may not have been damaged.
The best practice is to replace the regulator.
Incorrect connection can result in a gas
leak with possibility of fire.
For residential use only. Do not use for
commercial applications
