if converting the grill to natural gas, the technician in most
cases _l] need this 12' extension hose with 3/8" ID (inner
diameter), which is included in the natural gas conversion
kit,
1. Turn off gas supply, and then remove cap on gas
supply side.
2. Recommended: Install a shut-off valve on gas supply
side before installing the socket.
3. Socket should be installed by an authorized
technician in accordance with the national fuel gas
code (NFPA 54/ANSI223.!).
4. Before inserting plug, turn on gas supply and leak
test all connections including the stem of the shut-off
valve and the opening of the socket. For best results,
use an ammonia-free soap & water solution.
Operating Instructions:
1 Toconnect, push back socket sleeve,
Socket Sleeve _ Plug
2. Insert plug and release sleeve.
3. Push plug until sleeve snaps forward. (Gas will flow
automatically. Failure to connect plug properly to socket
will inhibit gas flow to the appliance.)

Gas Requirements
LP Gas
If your grill is for LP Gas, the regulator supplied isset for
an 11-in. water column (WC) and is for use with LP gas
only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be
used with a 20-lb. LP gas tank.
Natural Gas
If your grill is for Natural Gas, it is set for a 7-in. water
column (WC) and is for use with Natural Gas only. Gas
pressure is affected by gas line size and the length dgas
line run from house gas line. Follow the recommendations
in the chart below.
From House to Grill
Distance Tubing Size
Upto 25 ft. 3/8 in. diameter
26-50 ft. 1/2 in. diameter
2/3 of the run: 3/4 in. diameter
51-100 ft. 1/3 of the run :1/2 in. diameter
Over 101 ft. 3/4 in. diameter
Excess Flow Control and Low Heat
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess
flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas
flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow
device providing a lowflame and low temperature. If the
tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner
valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device
to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5
seconds.
Toensure this does not cause d_culty in lighting the grill,
