GAS SUPPLY
The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to
establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the
gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the
necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).
Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance service
technician.
CHANGING REGULATORS
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means
of isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.
Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged so
that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe joint
compound / thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.
REGULATOR TYPES
Shown below are the two types of regulators used on Hestan outdoor appliances. Your conversion kit
(AGCK-NG or AGCK-LP) comes with the appropriate regulator for the fuel type you are converting to.
Remove your existing regulator by using a pipe wrench and other tools as required. Consult the GAS
CONNECTIONS section of your Hestan outdoor appliance for full instructions on installing the new
regulator, and providing accessible upstream gas shutoff valve (NG only). Use thread sealant on all
connections.
