REGULATOR / HOSE

ASSEMBLY

CHANGING REGULATOR (FOR UNITS WITH PORTABLE LP TANKS)

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 grill or side burner was already supplied with a 2-stage LP regulator / hose assembly. The kit includes a special regulator for use with LP Piped systems.

1. As shown below, disconnect the small LP tank, remove the hose assembly, and remove the brass adapter fitting from the manifold pipe at the rear of the appliance.

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

2. Install the new LP PIPED SYSTEM regulator as shown below. 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

Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CAS 6.27

Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured

, and suitable for outdoor installation. 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.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT

LEAK TESTING

GENERAL A complete gas tightness check must be performed of all gas-carrying components due to possible movement during installation, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit.

BEFORE TESTING

• Do not smoke while leak testing.

• Never leak test with an open flame.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.

• For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.

TO TEST

• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.

• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.

• Turn the gas supply on.

• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.

• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.

• If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased your grill.

• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

IMPORTANT NOTE - ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP CYLINDER CHANGE.

BURNER / VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

Consult the GAS CONNECTIONS section of your Hestan outdoor appliance for full instructions on burner adjustments, flame appearance, air shutter adjustment, and valve adjustments. This step is very important to ensure successful burner performance after conversion to a new fuel type, or changing orifices for high altitude locations.
