WARNING!
GAS LINES
MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
Never connect a gas line directly to the grill. A
pressure regulator must be installed on all gas
equipment. Removing or failing to install the
pressure regulator can result in fire and serious
personal injury and will void the warranty
Ensure the gas supplied meets the minimum
pressure requirements. See below table for
gas requirements measure in water column
(w.c.) pressure:
All installation and all installation parts
must conform to local codes with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 70 latest edition and the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada
Both the regulator and burner orifices have
been tuned for the type of gas specified on
the rating plate. Converting to a different type
of gas requires a conversion kit. Conversion
kits are included with this grill and located with
the manual. Converting gases may require
additional parts not included with this grill.
(See Gas Conversion section for details).
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or
threading compound on any flare fitting. This
will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent
your grill from functioning properly.

REQUIREMENT
S
Turn off the gas at the supply when grill is not
in use. Please ensure:
• Summerset Professional Grills
recommends that only qualified
licensed professionals perform the
required plumbing on this product.
•
Check the Rating Plate to make sure the
gas supply you are hooking up to is the
gas type the grill is manufactured for.
• To ensure satisfactory performance,
the gas supply line must be sized to
accommodate the total BTU requirements
of all the gas-fired equipment that will be
connected to that line.
• In no case should pipe less than 1/2”
inside diameter or 1” outside diameter
ever be used to connect this product.
Gas Type Maximum Minimum
Natural Gas 7” w.c. 4” w.c.
Liquid
Propane
14” w.c. 11” w.c .
FILLING AND REFILLING LP
GAS CYLINDERS
CONNECTING TO THE LP TANK
All purging and refilling of LP gas
cylinders must be performed by
qualified personnel in the LP gas
industry. Never store a spare LP gas
cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond
80 percent full. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion,
personal injury or death.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank
to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly
supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have
an outlet pressure of an estimated 11” water
column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank.
LP gas grill models are designed for use with
a standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank
with type (1) valve connections. (Not included)
Never connect your gas grill to an LP tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately
12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is
the maximum size LP gas tank to use. A propane
tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device)
must be used. This safety feature prevents the
tank from being over-filled which can cause
malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/
or grill.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the specifications
for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only. Be sure to read and
follow all LP connection instructions.
The hose and regulator are connected in the
following manner:
1. Use a standard 20 lbs. LP tank with QCC
– 1 fitting
2. Grills set up for LP gas come equipped
with an LP hose regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lbs. LP
cylinder (Type 1)
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or
threading compound on any flare fitting. This
will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent
your grill from functioning properly.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve
and turn the black coupling nut clockwise until
the coupling nut is hand tight. DO NOT over-
tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupling nut, first make sure
the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp
the coupling nut and turn counter clockwise.
The inlet will then disengage.
• The tank supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
• The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
• The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve,
terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve
outlet that is compatible with a Type 1
tank connection device. The LP gas tank
must also have a safety relief device that
has a direct communication with the vapor
space of the tank.
