GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE SONOMA SMOKER BY LYNX™. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL
GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX GRILLS SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR FOR USE WITH YOUR
SMOKER. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ is factory set to use
either liquid propane or natural gas. It is crical that
the gas you use matches that for which the smoker
was set up. You can verify this by checking the rang
plate.
The rang plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type and is located in one or more of the following places:
 On the back of the Care & Use manual
 On the touch pad containment box
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the smoker with any
gas other than that for which the smoker has been set.
Water Column Requirements:
Lynx Grills recommends that only qualied professionals
perform the required plumbing on this product.
To ensure sasfactory performance, the gas supply line must
be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all
the gas-red equipment that will be connected to that line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1”
outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
 Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the smoker
and any other appliances running on that supply line.
 Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: “BTU Output” for specic model outputs)
 A gas shut-o valve must be installed in an easily
accessible locaon by a qualied plumber.
 Keep threading compound o of the rst two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orice. Do not use
threading compound on any are ngs.
For built-in installaons, it is required that a metal ex hose
cered for gas use be used. (See INDEX: “Gas Connecons”
for typical permanent hook up.) Please ensure all
installaons conform to local codes.
Both the regulator and the manifold orices have been
tuned for the type of gas specied on the rang plate.
Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx grills to allow the
Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ to operate on either natural gas or
liquid propane gas. These kits should be installed by a qualied
technician.
The kits come with complete installaon instrucons. These
instrucons should be read completely and fully.
All installaon and all installaon parts must conform to local
codes with the Naonal Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 70
latest edion and the Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.
Canadian installaons must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2 natural
gas/propane installaon code. (Canada)
NATURAL GAS
GAS CONVERSION KITS
For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends
using a mobile ex gas line.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your
dealer.
