IN-GROUND POST INSTALLATION
PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
Consult a qualifi ed professional installer / licensed contractor.
The in-ground post is designed primarily for installation with
a permanent underground gas supply. The power supply
cord is to be routed out the back.
To gain access to the inside of the post, unscrew and
carefully open the access plate on the rear of the post using
a medium Phillips-head screwdriver. Retain the screws.
A power supply is pre-mounted to the access plate. For
ease of installation, disconnect the power supply from the
wire harness extension. Locate the wires coming from
the inside of the post to the power supply and carefully
disconnect (see Fig. 14-1 and 14-2).
Important: Pull from the connectors (not the wires).
ROUTE POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power cord will need to be routed through the access
plate for later connection to a GFCI receptacle.
1. Remove the knock-out disc at the bottom left of the
access plate with a large fl athead screwdriver. (Insert
the screwdriver into the notch provided in the center
of the knock-out.)
2. Feed the power cord through the newly created hole.
3. Remove the plastic power cord bushing fastened to
the inside of the post and install it onto the power cord.
Slide the bushing up against the access plate knock-
out hole and snap into place. See Fig. 14-1.
ROUTE GAS SUPPLY
Note: This section addresses an underground gas supply
setup. To connect through the rear of the post,
reference the ROUTE FLEX CONNECTOR section
of PATIO-MOUNT INSTALLATION, and do not
perform the steps until after: attaching the extension
post, and installing the post / pouring the concrete.
1. After running the underground gas supply line to
the planned grill location, dig a hole for the post and
extension approximately 18" deep and 10-12" in
diameter.
Note: Run the gas supply line up from the bottom of
the hole (a little off center) so that it reaches to
approximately 4" above ground level.
Note: The actual depth of the hole should be such that
the cooking surface is 34-35" above ground level.
2. Verify that the gas supply line fi ts through the gas line
clearance hole in the bottom of the post (see Fig. 14- 3).
The clearance hole is the larger of the two holes in the
bottom of the post and is off center.
3. Verify that the fl ex connector coming from the inside of
the post will connect properly with the gas supply line.
