Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane
Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.
• Prevent grill combustion products from being drawn
into a building through fresh air inlets: The venting
system of other than a direct-vent appliance must
terminate at least 4 feet (1.2m) below, 4 feet (1.2m)
horizontally from, or 1 foot (305mm) above any door,
window or gravity air inlet into any building. The bot-
tom of the vent terminal must be located at least 12
inches (305mm) above grade.
A MINIMUM clearance of 10 inches (254mm) must be
maintained, above the countertop material, from all
combustible vertical materials on the sides and behind
the outdoor grill chassis and canopy.

ance of t 1/4 inches (32mm) must be maintained,
above the countertop material, from all non-combus-
tible vertical materials on the sides and behind the
outdoor grill chassis and canopy.

whole house LP installations must meet the specifica-
tions below.
For natural gas or whole house LP installations, have a
qualified plumber or gas fitter install a 3/4 inch (19mm)
or 1/2 inch (13mm) gas supply line with a shut-off valve
(not included). Have it installed in an accessible loca-
tion that allows it to be shut off when the appliance is
installed.
