GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
With the Weber® gas barbecue you can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that
are difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid and Flavorizer®
bars produce that “outdoor” flavor in the food.
The natural gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal
fuel.
• These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your
®
gas barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully before using your
Weber
Weber® gas barbecue. Improper assembly can be dangerous.
• Not for use by children.
• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to
them. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code,
B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and
CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.
• This Weber® gas barbecue is designed for natural (piped in city) gas only. Do not use
liquid propane (LP) bottled gas. The valves, orifices and hose are for natural gas only.
• Do not use with charcoal fuel.
• Check that the area under the control panel and the grease tray are free from debris
that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
X

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the
Canadian Installation codes, particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada
the installation of this appliance must comply with local codes and/or Standards CAN/
CGA-B149.1 (Installation Code for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment).
X
STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE
• The gas must be turned off at the natural gas supply when the Weber® gas barbecue
is not in use.
• When the Weber® gas barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply must be
disconnected.
• The Weber® gas barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions
in the burner tubes before using. (Refer to: “MAINTENANCE/ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE”).
• Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide out grease tray are free
from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
• The Spider/Insect screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to:
“MAINTENANCE/ANNUAL MAINTENANCE”).

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
INSTALL ATION 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" of water column pressure (.163 psi).
• A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, and be accessible, not in the
“built-in” structure (1).
• An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line
in an accessible location near the supply line.
• 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 (2).
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"; 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
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.

WHAT IS NATURAL GAS?
Natural gas, often called methane, is a safe modern fuel. Natural gas is supplied by your
local utility and should be readily available if your house is already heated with gas. X
LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

CHECK FOR GAS 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.
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: The gas connections of your gas grill have been
factory tested. We do however recommend that you leak
check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is turned off.
Turn on gas supply at source.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
You will need: A soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
A) Mix soap and water.
B) Turn on gas supply (1).
C) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching
for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn the gas back on and
recheck with the soap and water solution. If leak does not stop do not use the
barbecue. Contact the customer service representative in your area using the
contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com
D) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse
connections with water.
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: You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
