WARNING: The structure, “island”, countertops, and adjacent work areas for the built-in

grill installation must be built from non-combustable materials only.

NOTE: If you have questions on what materials are considered non-combustable, contact you
local building materials supplier or fire department.

LOCATING YOUR GRILL

When determining a suitable location for your Vieluxe®gas grill installation, give attention to concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible. Never locate the Vieluxe

®

gas grill in a garage,
breezeway, shed, under an unprotected overhang, or other enclosed area. Locate the grill and structure so there is enough room to
safely evacuate the area in case of a fire.

THIS GAS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

Gas line piping

■ Refer to the piping chart at the bottom of the page.

■ The corrugated gas line from the manifold is

48 inches long. Do not extend the gas line.

■ We have provided the means to make an SAE 45°
flare connection. Do not use pipe sealant on
this connection.

■ 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.
Refer to piping chart below.

■ 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.

■ Check you local building codes.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE
DONE BY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.

General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building
codes regulating outdoor gas grill installations. In
absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the
latest edition of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

■ This grill is designed to operate at 10.5 inches of
water column pressure. A LP in line regulator may be
necessary to acheive this pressure.

CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a

locking valve should be considered.

■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the
action of liquid propane gas when gas connections
are made.

■ The gas connections must be firmly attached to rigid,
permanent construction.

Note: The information provided in this manual is
general for typical installations. We cannot cover all
possible installation ideas. We recommend, prior to
installation, that you contact your municipality for
local building codes and your local fire department
for installation requirements.

Gas line piping (continued)

■ 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/NFPA 54.

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.

INSTALLATION (CONT.)

We strongly recommend that you use the Vieluxe®Tank
Cabinet (#36299) for installations using a 20 lb LP
cylinder, mounted remotely in an “island” structure.

The Vieluxe

®

Tank Cabinet is a CSA listed accessory for
installing a remote mounted 20 lb LP cylinder, in an
“island” structure. The Vieluxe®Tank Cabinet has a hose
and regulator assembly and gas connections, for
connecting a remote mounted LP cylinder to the Vieluxe

®

gas grill. The hose and regulator is listed as a required
part of the CSA listed Vieluxe

®

gas grill.

The Vieluxe®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/CGA 1.6.

The Vieluxe

®

Tank Cabinet has its own installation guide.

If you do not use the Vieluxe

®

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/CGA 1.6.

The requirements described in the Standard for Outdoor
Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CAN 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 methods:

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 enclosure. 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
