INSTALLATION
Gas Hook-up
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 a gas regulator
even if the supply 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
BE1-48R - 118,000 Btu/hr or 124.5 Mj/hr BE1-36R - 89,000 Btu/hr or 93.3 Mj/hr
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 isolated 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 built-in hook-up
(This should be performed by a technician only.)
Connection:
1/2” NPT female. Operating pressure:
4.0” W.C. Supply pressure: 5” to 14” WC. If in excess
of 14” W.C. a step down regulator 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. 07). Use threading
compound on male threads only. 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.
