Do not attempt to cut or alter the flex
tube in any way.
At the access door connect a 3/8" flare
coupling (not supplied by Empire) to the
gas supply line and stainless steel
tubing. Position the tubing in the top
notch of the post. Bend the flex tube at
the top end to match the Feed Line of the
grill valve.
Note: Use pipe thread sealant or Teflon
tape at the threads of each connection
being careful to not allow any of these
materials into the flare seat. Test for gas
leaks as directed by the grill's Owners
Manual
Arrange with your local gas company or
licensed contractor to have a gas supply
line connected to inlet of stainless steel
flex tube assembly.
The gas supply line should be installed
according to local codes to prevent
damage from digging.
CAUTION: The gas supply line must be
regulated (In the case of Natural gas that
means connected after your gas meter and
regulator) and that you have an easily
accessible shut-off valve.
WARNING: Do not SUPPLYLP GAS to a
grill designed for NATURAL GAS or
NATURAL GAS designed for LP GAS.
INSERT FLEX LINE THROUGH POST

B102523-0-0219 Page 13
Connection Requirements
Broilmaster natural gas grills are not equipped with pressure
regulators. Your gas grill operates at a manifold pressure of
seven inches water column. (Your natural gas technician will
understand what this means.)
Arrange with your local gas company or licensed contractor to
have a gas supply line connected to the inlet of the stainless
steel ex tube assemble. The gas supply must have a shutoff
valve that is close to the post in case of emergency and must
be shutoff when the grill is not in use.
Connect your grill this coupling using the twelve foot exible
hose with a quick disconnect tting (available for purchase from
your Broilmaster dealer.)
CAUTION
The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any
system pressure testing at test pressures in excess of
1/2 PSIG.
CAUTION
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping sys-
tem by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
Grill Location
This grill is designed for outdoor use only.
Never operate your grill in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Never operate your grill in a recreational vehicle
or boat. Never operate your grill under any combustible materials,
such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.
CAUTION
Keep the sides of the grill at least 16 inches from any
combustible material. Keep the back of the grill at least
18 inches from any combustible material. Placing a hot
grill too close to a building or other combustible mate-
rial may lead to re, property damage, or personal injury.
Combustible materials include fences, patio furniture,
and your home.
Keep the area around the grill clear to ensure proper ventilation.
WARNING
Do not install or operate this grill where gasoline or other
ammable materials are used or stored. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in explosion or re causing
property damage or personal injury.
Gas Type
The type gas required for your grill can be determined from the
product identication label located on the grill’s control panel.
Questions regarding different types of gases should be directed
to your local gas supplier.
CAUTION
Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill designed
for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed for
Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different types
of gases should be directed to your local gas company.

GAS SUPPLYLINE
1. Dig a posthole approximately 12" in diameter and 28 3/4" in depth at the desired grill location.
Note: "Normal Installation" height is achieved when the top of the 48" post is 24 3/4" above ground. This
height provides a cooking surface height of approximately 34" above ground when grids are placed in the
high level.
2. Carefully lower the in-ground post into the hole using the following guidelines:
•The upper rectangular cut-out is located near the top of the post and should be above ground
after installation.
•The rectangular cut-out must face in the same direction as the front of the grill.
•Hole depth and post measurements should be checked to ensure desired height.
Note: Make any adjustments at this time.
3. Prepare concrete or a standard pre-mix according to the manufacturer's package directions. Position
the 48" post in the center of the hole. A level should be used when aligning the post to achieve precise
vertical alignment. Hold the post in place while pouring the concrete mixture into the hole around the post.
Keep concrete below gas line hole.
