NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the gas line supply pressure
is adequate (7.0” W.C. supply pressure is preferred) to maintain 4.5” W.C. manifold pressure.
Use a minimum 1/2” ID flex hose to prevent gas starvation.
NATURAL GAS CONNECTION:
Ensure that the service pipe supplying the Grill is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned and
easily accessible as an emergency gas shutoff.
Your
Alfresco
Gourmet Grill for use with natural gas comes equipped with its own regulator which
MUST NOT be removed.
If this regulator needs to be replaced use only the type specified by
Alfresco
Gourmet Grill for this
appliance.
To connect the regulator / hose assembly follow the next steps:
1. Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the rear right side of your BBQ unit (remove the
rear panel from the BBQ cart to gain access - in cart mounted models).
2. Attach a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) elbow to the regulator (see figure # 3).
3. Fasten the hose connection to a 1/2” MPT x 3/8” COMP (compression flare fitting) connected to
the elbow. (see figure # 3).
Connect flare fitting to gas supply using a 1/2” Ø minimum flexible (semi–rigid) stainless steel gas hose,
no more than 48” in length. The hose as well as the connectors must comply with the Standard for Con-
nectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CAS 6.27.
