INSTALL GAS SUPPLY

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 the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL. Some of the following are general requirements taken from the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code for complete specifications.

• This barbecue is designed to operate at 4.5 inches of water column pressure (.163 psi).

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

• An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.

• 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.

 WARNING: Do not route the 10 foot hose under a deck. The

hose must be visible.

GAS LINE PIPING

• If the length of the 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 the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1

Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

Preserve Your Stainless Steel - Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves

may be made from stainless steel. To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. For stubborn particles, the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.

 IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners

on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause scratches.

 IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe

in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless steel.

 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 gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage

to property.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

TYPE OF GAS

Your natural gas grill is factory built to operate using natural gas only. Never attempt to operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plates. Your grill operates at 4.5” of water column pressure. If replacement of the hose becomes necessary, factory specified parts are required. See your local dealer. For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Weber Natural gas to operation using LP gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional information.
