TYPICAL 20 LP PROPANE GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION

We strongly recommend that you use the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet (#21280) for installations using a 20 lb LP cylinder, mounted remotely in an “island” structure. The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet is a CSA listed accessory for installing a remote mounted 20 lb LP cylinder, in an “island” structure. Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet has a hose and regulator assembly and gas connections, for connecting a remote mounted LP cylinder to the Summit® Built-In gas grill. The hose and regulator is listed as a required part of the CSA listed Summit® Built-In gas grill. The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet also meets the requirements for venting, tank retention and separation of the LP cylinder from a heat source as outlined in the ANSI Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6 for LP enclosures. The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet has its own installation guide. If you do not use the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet, you need to hire a licensed contractor or licensed plumber and they need to follow the requirements described in the ANSI Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6 for LP enclosures. The requirements described in the Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6. are as follows; A remote enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at both the upper and lower levels of the cylinder. This shall be accomplished by one of the following:

a). One side of the remote LP cylinder enclosure shall be completely open; or

b). If the remote LP cylinder enclosure is designed to have four sides, a top and a

bottom, ventilation is required for the remote LP cylinder enclosure;

1). There should be at least two ventilation openings, (a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of ventilation) in the sidewalls of the island structure. The openings should be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the top of the enclosure. The ventilation openings should be equally sized and spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees, and be unobstructed. The openings shall have a total free open area of not less than 20 square inches. (This relates to 1 square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel capacity).

2). Ventilation openings (a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of ventilation) should be provided at floor level. The ventilation openings should have a total free area of not less than 10 square inches. (This relates to 1/2 square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel capacity). There should be at least two ventilation openings if the ventilation openings at floor level are in the sidewall. The ventilation openings should be within 5 inches (127mm) of the floor. The ventilation openings should be of equal size and be spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees, and should be unobstructed.

3). The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should not be less than 1/4 inch.

4). The ventilation openings in the sidewalls should not allow venting into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. Ventilation openings in the sidewalls of the enclosure should only communicate with the outside of the “island” structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of the “island” structure.

c). If the remote LP cylinder enclosure has four sides, a top and a bottom, and is

intended for installation in a built-in “island” enclosure;

1). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of ventilation) needs to be on one side of the enclosure that communicates with the outside of the “island” structure. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. Ventilation openings should only communicate with the outside of the “island” structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of the “island” structure. The ventilation opening should be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the top of the enclosure, and should have a total free area of 20 square inches. (This relates to 1 square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel).

2). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of ventilation) needs to be on one side of the enclosure that communicates with the outside of the “island” structure, at the bottom. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. Ventilation openings should only communicate with the outside of the “island” structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of the “island” structure. The ventilation opening should be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the bottom of the enclosure, and should have a total free area of 10 square inches. (This relates to 1/4 square inch of ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel).

3). The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should not be less than 1/4 inch (6.35mm).

d). The remote LP cylinder enclosure should be constructed with non-combustible

materials. The remote LP cylinder enclosure should isolate the LP cylinder from the burner compartment, so that it provides shielding from radiation, be a flame barrier and provide protection from foreign material such as hot drippings.

e). There should be a minimum of 2 inches (50.8mm) between the ground and the floor

of the remote LP cylinder enclosure.

f). The LP cylinder valve should be readily accessible for hand operation. A door on the

remote LP cylinder enclosure to gain access to the LP cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools.

The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the LP cylinder before attempting to fill.

LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF

Valves are shipped in the “OFF” position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off. Proceed to the next step.

CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

All Weber® liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the coupling.

 WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.

Close by turning valve clockwise.

 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. Sparks or flames will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

• Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the

procedures outlined in the “General Maintenance” section of this manual.

• Check all gas fittings for leaks.

 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. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

 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 however, you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling

may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

 WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue

was dealer or store assembled.

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it. 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. Make sure side burner is OFF.

To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-wheel counterclockwise.

 WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

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.

OPERATING

Check:

1) Corrugated gas line-to-Accessory “T” Connection

2) Regulator-to-Cylinder connection.

 WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), retighten

the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after re-tightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact Customer Service 1-800-446-1071.

Check:

3) “T” Connection-to-Hose connections.

4) The hose-to-Regulator connection.

 WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (2,3, or 4),

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

• To fill, take the LP cylinder to a gas propane dealer, or look up “gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled

at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).

Note: A refill will last about 18-20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

 CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever

the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.

OPERATING

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

 WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must match the regulator

connection supplied with this barbecue.

LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

• Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certification (1), and date tested (2) is within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately (18¼ inches high, 12¼ inches in diameter).

• The cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

IN CANADA LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

Note: Your retailer can help you match a replacement tank to your barbecue.
