Natural Gas Hook-Up
This natural gas grill is supplied with a 10ft 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 flex tube as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Attachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not
use thread sealer/pipe dope.) These connections must be made by a licensed gas installer. Leak test all joints
prior to using the gas grill.
WARNING!
•
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 drip pan.
•
Do not route hose between space in bottom shelf and back panel.
•
Do not route hose over top of back 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.
•
Do not use enclosure to store excess hose, as there is a greater chance of the hose contacting a hot
surface, 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 this manual.
Leak Testing Instructions
WARNING!
A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part
of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING!
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are
in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to
property, serious bodily injury, or death.
Leak testing: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced
or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing
Diagram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator, hose,
manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommended
by the Napoleon Customer Care department and have the grill inspected by a certified gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill inspected
by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak has been corrected.
