GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufcient to meet
the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be
checked to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on
the male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases.

on this appliance will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance,
all pipe and ttings must be free from all internal loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each charbroiler. It should be connected to the
inlet pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6" water
column manifold pressure for use with natural gas. Allow 6" clearance from back of unit to wall for
servicing and installation.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the
charbroiler.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal
until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
