Check that items are secured

Note - Although the following items were factory assembled, check that they have not loosened during shipping and handling.

Remove the tape from the manifold bracket. Check that the bracket is securely hooked onto the

frame brace and under the manifold at the center burner valve. Figure 12.

If it is loose lift the bracket, manifold and cooking box slightly as a unit and reposition onto the frame brace.

Check that the igniter is secure in the frame brace and has not shifted out of the key hole. Figure 13.

If it is loose, slide the igniter into the rear of the key hole. Carefully tighten the igniter lock nut with an adjustable wrench or pliers.

Gas line piping

■ If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be

used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall

thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule

40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100

cubic feet of gas.

■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

■ Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be

protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

■ Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1.

General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken from ANSI Z223.1, for gas supply installations. Refer to ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications.

■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of water column pressure (.2526 psi).

■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.

CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a locking valve should be considered.

■ An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible

location near the supply line.

■ The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect

fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected.

■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the

fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting water and debris.

■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean

while disconnected.

■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are

made.

■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction.

Step 11

Check for gas leaks

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

Note - All factory made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even though your barbecue was assembled.

You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.

To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect. Push male fitting of the hose into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Figure 17 (a). Slide the collar closed. Figure 17 (b). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.

DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

Turn on gas supply. Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the

soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.

Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.

WARNING: Do

not ignite burners when leak c hec king.
