Gas Conversions – Natural Gas and Propane
Coyote grills are able to be converted but you must obtain the correct conversion kit and we always
recommend that any gas appliance conversion should always be performed by a Licensed Plumber or a
certified Installer. Conversion kits are sold for Coyote grills and can be purchased through your dealer, or
Coyote’s Customer Service Department. Any other kit or orifices used that are not of Coyote brand, will
automatically void any warranty on the unit. Furthermore, it is important to understand that where ever there
is a burner, there is an orifice that will need to be changed.
The steps for converting your Coyote grills main burners are:
1. Remove the grates and flavorizers from your grill.
2. Remove the locking pins on the burners
a. You will find these locking pins at the back of the unit. If built in to an island, you can slide the
grill forward and reach these pins. If the grill is located in a cart, then you ca simply reach
through the opening in the back and remove the pins.
3. Remove all of the burners from the grill
4. Using a 6mm nut driver, remove the orifice at the end of each valve
5. Locate the new orifices from the conversion kit and apply pipe thread sealant to the threads on
each orifice.
6. Using your fingers to ensure no cross-threading will occur, install the new orifices.
7. After you have started them with your fingers, use the 6mm nut driver again and tighten the new
orifices into each valve.
a. In case you confuse the orifices during the install, LP orifices have a smaller hole than NG
orifices due to propane coming out of the LP tank at a much higher pressure than natural
gas.
8. Next you will need to remove your existing manifold fitting that connects to the regulator.
a. LP grills come with a 3/8" male flare fitting coming out of the manifold pipe.
b. NG grills come with a 1/2" male pipe fitting that comes out of the manifold pipe.
i. Each of these fittings is designed to go straight into the appropriate regulator from
the manifold.
9. Locate the new manifold fitting from your conversion kit and apply pipe thread sealant on the pipe
fitting side of the nipple (the side of the nipple that goes into the grills manifold pipe) and tighten into
the pipe.
10. Installing the new regulator:
a. If converting to natural gas, you will also want to apply pipe thread sealant to both sides of
the regulator, as these both sides are a 1/2" female pipe (non-flared fitting).
b. If converting to propane, the fitting at the end of the LP regulator is a 3/8" female flared
fitting, so no pipe sealant is necessary.
11. Once these steps have been completed, you will want to perform a leak test (stated previously in
the manual) at all new connections before cooking on the unit.
12. Replace the burners, flavorizers and cooking grates.
