Gas Line Piping
■ If the length of the line required does not exceed 50
feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be
used for lengths greater than 50 feet.
■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;
polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thick-
ness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40)
steel or wrought iron pipe.
■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains
more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic
feet of gas.
■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, under-
ground use.
■ Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other
material which may corrode the piping, must be
protected against corrosion in an approved manner.
■ Underground piping must have a minimum of 18"
cover
Test Connections
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested

however recommend that you leak check all gas
connections before operating your Weber gas
barbecue.
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if
your barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

the right edge of the control panel.
2) Take off the burner control knobs.
3) Lift off the control panel.

ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
You will need: A soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.

and water, may be corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
