Owners Manual

Natural Gas (NG) Installation and Requirements:

• Ensure that the natural gas supply line is fitted with a shut-off valve that can be easily

accessed in the event that shutoff at the source is required.

• Side burners operated with NG fuel must be installed with the NG regulator supplied

with your EdgeStar side burner.

• EdgeStar NG side burners are equipped with an NG regulator set to 4 inches water

column. This regulator is for NG only.

• The standard fitting connector for an NG supply is 1/2”.

• Use a quality natural gas flex connector (not included) to mate to the included NG

regulator. CSA, UL, or ETL certified connecting lines are recommended. Stainless steel

flex connectors are also recommended.

• The flex connector should be an appropriate length for your setup. Do not use a

connector that is too short and requires you to stretch it too far to make the connection.

• Flex connectors should come with a standard ½” connection for NG fittings.

• Flex connectors should be placed carefully in a location where they are not at risk of

being cut, punctured, or kinked.

• Yellow Teflon pipe thread sealant (PTFE tape) is recommended for use on all pipe

thread connections with the exception of flared threads, which will have a secure

connection.

To Connect the NG Gas Supply:

1. Ensure the NG shut-off valve is fully closed. You should not hear a hissing noise or

smell natural gas.

2. All gas control (burner) knobs must be in the off position.

3. Fasten the ½” flex connector – already installed to the NG supply shut-off valve – to the

included NG regulator. Use Yellow Teflon pipe thread sealant (PTFE tape) for non-

flared connections. No sealant is required for flared connections. Do not overtighten

the regulator connection as it may cause damage or strip the threading.

4. Open the NG shut-off valve.

5. Using a soapy water mixture in a spray bottle, check for leaks at all joints and

connection points. Bubbles should not form in the soapy water mixture. See the section

titled, “Checking for Gas Leaks” in this manual for further instructions and details.

6. Once you have confirmed that all connections are secure and there are no gas leaks,

you may proceed with normal use of your side burner. All connection points must be

free from gas leaks before first use of the gas side burner.

7. A reminder to always close the shut-off valve when the side burner is not in use.
