Verify the type of gas supply to be used,
either natural or LP, and make sure the
marking on the appliance rating plate
agrees with that of the supply. The rating
plate is located on the outside of the back
wall of the Grill. Never connect an
unregulated gas line to the appliance.
An installer supplied gas shut-off valve
must be installed in an easily accessible
location. All installer supplied parts must
conform to local codes,or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type
and resistant to the actions of LP gases.
Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All
gas connections should be made by a
qualified technician and in accordance
with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes,the installation must comply with the
national fuel gas code ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory. When ordering
gas conversion kits have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
BGB48-BQR - 122,500 Btu/hr BGB48-BQAR - 121,500 Btu/hr BGB36-BQAR - 92,500 Btu/hr
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes,with the national fuel gas code,ANSI Z223.1. Installation in Canada must be in
accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and
equipment) and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP:
Connection: 1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C.
Supply pressure: 5" to 14" water column. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required.
Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply
lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too
small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be
resistive to the actions of LP gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:
Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading
compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the
grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points
in the direction of gas flow towards the unit,away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer
supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

local codes or with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1
