Cylinder Connection: Ensure the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder
fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not
use tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the grill. A leak test must be performed annually and each time a
EN
cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
If this grill is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line, follow the instructions for the
natural gas hook-up. Optional side burners must also follow the natural gas hook-up instructions.
Note: The propane tank heat shield is not required when the grill is connected to a fixed fuel supply, as its
sole function is to shield the propane tank normally used with the grill. Ensure that the supply pressure is
11 inches water column.
Natural Gas Hook-Up: These connections must be made by a licensed gas fitter. This natural gas grill is
supplied with a gas supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural gas and certified
for outdoor use. The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water column. Piping
and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installation must comply with CAN
B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the
rating plate, based on the length of the piping run.
The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off
valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible. The flared end of
the hose must be connected to the fitting on the end of the manifold tube or flex tube (if applicable) as
illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Attachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not use thread
sealer/pipe dope.) Leak test all joints prior to using the gas grill.

The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested
before operating the grill.
Do not route hose underneath the drip pan.
Do not route hose between bottom shelf space and back panel.
Do not route hose over top of rear panel.
Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe
dope on any hose connection.
Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak causing a
fire.
Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing instructions
found in the manual.
The outdoor cooking gas appliance 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
0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
The outdoor cooking gas appliance 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
