Built-In Outdoor Grills
(combustible construction)
Natural Gas:
Built-in outdoor grill models are equipped for use with Natural gas.
They are design-certifi ed by CSA International for L.P. (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate conversion.
Built-in models are set for natural gas use and have a pressure
regulator with 1/2” female pipe threads.
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same area as the grill and
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing.
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning

Conversion must be made by a qualifi ed person. The qualifi ed
natural gas technician shall provide the L.P. gas supply to the
selected grill location in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54 and local codes. To convert to L.P. gas, the
L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396311 must be used. Follow
Instructions included with the kit.
L.P. gas conversion using an L.P. fuel tank:
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396311
must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
An L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20 pounds, must be
purchased separately.
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C.
(gauge) or lower:
• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff 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).
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved “outdoor”
gas supply line.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
