Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: The Cal Flame grill is manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be
converted to operate on natural gas (NG) by an authorized service technician.
This barbecue grill does not include the parts for converting to NG. The gas conversion kit can be ordered
separately. The part number for the conversion kit is BBQ07101045. Grill conversion instructions can be
found on page 33 and ordering information can be found in this manual on page 38.
Gas Requirements
Tank Requirements
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible
regulator and set it for LP gas.
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane
is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for
propane is 11” WC.
The grill must be used with the gas pressure regulator.
The regulator will control and maintain a uniform
gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orices
have been sized for the gas pressure delivered by
the regulator.
WARNING: Attempting to operate the grill unit
without the gas regulator installed could cause an
explosion and possible death.
CylinderSpecication
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the Specications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must
be approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 inches
high.
The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5
gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately
38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never ll
the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If you do not have an updated ller valve on your
existing propane tank, you will need to purchase one
at your local hardware store. Without it you will not
be able to attach your tank to your grill or rell the
tank at your local propane rell station.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the
cylinder is secured in an upright position with the
control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
Store cylinders outdoors and out of reach of children.
Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area.
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with
the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
