NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the gas line supply
pressure is adequate. Use only the gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. This
regulator is set for a supply pressure of 7 inch WC (1.74 kPa) to maintain 4 inch WC (1.00 kPa)
outlet (manifold) pressure. Use a minimum 1/2” ID flex hose to prevent gas starvation. Ensure
that the service pipe supplying the side burner is fitted with a shut-off valve conveniently
positioned and easily accessible as an emergency gas shut-off.
Your Hestan grill for use with Natural Gas is supplied with its own regulator which MUST be
installed. If this regulator needs to be replaced, use only the type specified by Hestan 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 grill (in cart-
mounted models, remove the rear panel to gain access).
2. Install the natural gas regulator as shown. Connect gas supply using a minimum 1/2”
diameter 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 Connectors for Outdoor Gas
Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CSA 6.27
, and suitable for outdoor
installation. Use the appropriate thread sealant on all connections.
3. Proceed to LEAK TESTING section.
