GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating
plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the underside of the drip tray. Never connect
an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use the gas regulator provided with the unit, even if the sup-
ply is controlled.
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied
parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CSA-B149.1 Natural
Gas Installation Code or CSA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.
All pipe sealants must be an ap proved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on
flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from Customer care. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the
model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
BGC48-BQR - 126,500 Btu/hr or 133.5MJ/h BGC48-BQAR - 121,500 Btu/hr or 128.2 MJ/h
BGC36-BQAR - 92,500 Btu/hr or 97.5 MJ/h
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The appliance must be isolat-
ed from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this
appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in Can ada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP: (THIS TYPE OF CON-
NECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED
OR LICENSED TECHNICIAN ONLY.)
Connection: 1/2” NPT female with 3/8” flare adapter.
Operating pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply pressure: 5” to 14”
water column. If in excess of 14” W.C., a step down regula-
tor is required. Check with your local gas utility company
or local codes for instructions on installing gas supply
lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how
deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill
will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must
be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP
gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH
THE GRILL:
Assemble as shown (Fig. 08). Use threading compound
on male threads only. Do not use threading compound
on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use
a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid
shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the
regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards
the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the
installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULA-
TOR):
Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for connection to
a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
