GAS REQUIREMENTS
General Information
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP), and make sure
the marking plate (located on the back of the grill) agrees with that the supply.
Note: Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance.
For Natural Gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the
grill.
All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the Natural
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z23. 1-1998.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases.
This grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSIG
(3.5 kPa.).
The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National
Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.
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 Installation
The gas inlet supply pressure should be between 5” and 14” w.c. A step down regulator is required if the
line pressure is in excess of 14” w.c.
Check 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.
A minimum ½” gas line is
required
. If the gas supply line is too small, the grill will not operated correctly
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistant to the actions of natural gas.
Place the installer supplied shutoff valve in an accessible location to enable the gas supply to be cut off to
the grill.
IMPORTANT: If there is ever a need to convert the grill’s original gas supply system from LP to
Natural Gas or vice versa, the conversion must be done by a service agent authorized by
Frontgate. This conversion will only be warranted if the service is provided by an authorized
service agent. All costs associated with a conversion including, but not limited to the parts and
service fees, are the responsibility of the grill owner.
