MODIFYING REGULATOR (FOR UNITS WITH NATURAL GAS)

An LP piped system is one with a large central LP tank that feeds an entire household. These systems are
normally equipped with a high pressure regulator by the large LP tank, and low pressure regulators close
to the home.

This kit is to be used if your Hestan or Aspire grill or side burner was already supplied with a NG
regulator. The kit includes all the necessary orifices to convert your burners to LP fuel, and special
instructions to modify the regulator.

1. It is possible to modify the regulator in-place. If your grill is mounted on a freestanding or deluxe
cart, you can access the regulator by removing the rear access panel. If your grill or side burner are
mounted in an island, you will have to gain access from underneath. Modify as per instruction below.

NOTE: If you have a Hestan or Aspire Side Burner inter-plumbed with a Grill, you will follow these same
instructions.

2. Connect to your LP Piped System using a minimum 1/2” diameter flexible (semi-rigid) stainless steel
gas hose. The gas line connectors must comply with the

Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CAS 6.27

The connection shall be 6 feet (1.82 m) or less.

NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the supply pressure is
adequate (11.0” WC supply pressure is preferred) to maintain 10.0” WC manifold pressure.

, and suitable for outdoor installation.

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order
to establish the availability of an adequate supply of LP gas. If it is a new installation, have the gas
authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the
necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).

Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance service
technician.

All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means
of isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.

Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged so
that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe joint
compound / thread sealant approved for LP gas.

CHANGING ORIFICES - GRILL

1. Open your grill and remove the grates, radiant trays, and burners from the firebox area. Trellis and

U-burners are removed by lifting up the rear of the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the igniter
shroud. Infrared Sear burners have a small metal cover over the igniter which must be removed first.
There is also a screw at the rear firebox wall which must be removed. The sear burner can then be
carefully removed using the same twisting action to avoid breaking the ceramic igniter. Remove the
rear cover of the grill. If your grill is mounted on a cart, remove the rear access panel of the cart as
well. Also remove the control knobs and drip pan.

2. Beginning with the Infrared Burner in the upper canopy area of the grill, access the spud orifice

shown in the image below. Disconnect the flex hose first. Then use a wrench to hold the brass
elbow steady, while using another wrench to remove the lock-nut. You may now remove the elbow
out of the burner bracket. Try not to disturb the flex hose connection by unduly bending it too
much. Be careful not to damage the wires and copper thermocouple tube nearby.
