CONNECTING
TO A GAS
SUPPLY
LPG Connection
If using Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) from a 9kg cylinder, ensure enough
ventilation has been installed for the cylinder area and the cylinder is
properly restrained. For details, refer to page 7.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder. Do not over tighten. Tighten the
connection by hand (right-hand internal thread AS 4637, Type 27 CGAS
fitting). The inlet to the manifold is a 1/4” BSP external threaded elbow
connection. Keep the gas line away from potential hot surfaces. Conduct
a leak test (details below) to check for leaks after connecting to the gas
bottle. If you have an IGE Cabinet, ensure the gas cylinder is securely held
in position using the retaining chain supplied.
NOTE: This is a low-pressure appliance, the pressure regulator must be
used when using an LPG cylinder.
OUTDOOR AND INDOOR: If a reticulated LPG supply is used, the
appliance must be installed by an authorised gas fitter ONLY. The LPG
regulator must be removed from the hose. Keep the spare regulator with
the appliance. The remaining fitting has a 1/4” BSP external thread.
Natural Gas Connection
Natural Gas installation must be carried out by an authorised Gas
Fitter. The barbecue is supplied for use with natural gas, a hose fitting
complying to AS1869 is attached. This has a 1/4” BSP internal threaded
fitting on one end and a bayonet fitting on the other for connection to
the fixed gas supply.
OUTDOOR: Connect the bayonet fitting, push it into the fixed connection
and rotate it clockwise to lock into place. When connected, check for
leaks as outlined below.
INDOOR: Remove the long hose with the bayonet fitting from the
regulator and connect the ½” BSP female inlet directly to the supply. Keep
the spare hose with the appliance for outdoor use.
Gas Type Conversion
An appliance cannot run on a gas it is not specified to use without
conversion. Gas type conversion requires a conversion kit and authorised
gas fitter installation. This can be purchased from Heatlie or a stockist.
System Commissioning (Gas Fitter Instruction ONLY)
For piped gas supply of both LPG and NG the supply connection point
must be accessible with the appliance installed. Additionally, appliance
commissioning is required. This is achieved by adjusting the regulator so
the test point gas pressure value is the same as the pressure listed in the
gas consumption section (page 18) while both burners are set to high.
For NG, the adjustment is done by the adjustment screw on the regulator
itself. Always tighten the locking nut after the pressure is adjusted. For
LPG, there is no adjustment on the appliance. If the pressure is not
correct, a regulator may be needed, or the line pressure may need to be
adjusted. The appliance MUST be working correctly before leaving.
Leak Test
With the gas connected, turn the gas on. Using soapy water, brush
or spray over the joint between the gas supply and the barbecue and
watch for bubbles. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking. The fitting may need
to be tightened, or this may be a result of failed components.
