GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT.
ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO
INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or
natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches
that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by
checking the rating plate
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and
gas type . This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the stainless steel cover
• On the care and use manual
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the man ifold orifi ces have been
tuned for the type of gas specifi ed on the rating plate.
Converting to a di erent type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from Lynx or from your dealer and must be
installed by a qualifi ed technician or certifi ed plumber.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada.
Lynx recommends that only qualifi ed professionals
perform the required plumbing on this product.
NATURAL GAS
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements
of all the gas-fi red equipment that will be connected to that
line.
In no case should an inlet 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 “ Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances for
• ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appli
• ances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible.
(See: “BTU Output” for specifi c model outputs)
• A gas shut-o valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location,away from the grill and island
location by a qualifi ed plumber.
• Keep threading compound o of the fi rst two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifi ce. Do not
use threading compound on any fl are fi ttings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any
fl exible pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
Keep last two
threads clean
