19GAS SPECIFICATIONS
GAS SPECIFICATIONS
Before proceeding, you need to establish the gas type
which your barbecue will run on, and the style of installation
you need.
Natural gas or LPG/Propane.
Before beginning installation or assembly, check that the gas
type which the barbecue is designed for is correct for the gas
available to you. In most countries the choices are natural
gas or LPG/propane. You will find the gas type label on the
side of your barbecue. If your barbecue uses the incorrect
gas type, or if you are unsure, consult your dealer before
going any further. Using the wrong type of gas for a barbecue
is extremely dangerous.
Natural gas conversion
Most newly purchased barbecues are made for LPG/
propane. A natural gas conversion kit is available to allow
your barbecue to run on Natural Gas. This kit includes all
hoses required for installation.
Fixed Installation - Portable LP Gas/Propane.
BeefEater LPG/propane barbecues are designed to operate
at 2.75Kpa (11”WC). Connect the gas supply line to the
barbecue inlet located on the right side of the appliance
using either hard plumbing, or a flexible hose connected to a
bayonet point, also known as a quick connect fitting.Refer to
AS 5601 or your local installation code for pipe sizing details.
Secure all joints spanner (wrench) tight but do not over-
tighten.Test gas pressure by removing the last burner from
the left hand side of the barbecue and attaching a hose and
pressure gauge to the end of the gas valve.Turn on 2 burners
and check the pressure.Inlet pressure should be 11.0” WC or
2.75 kPa.
Fixed Installation - Natural Gas
(Natural Gas installation should be carried out by a qualified
gas fitter). BeefEater Natural Gas barbecues are designed as
low-pressure appliances (4.0” WC, 1.00KPa).
Fit the natural gas regulator supplied directly to the
barbecue inlet located on the right side of the appliance
using either hard plumbing, or a flexible hose connected to a
bayonet point, also known as a quick connect fitting.Refer to
AS 5601 or your local installation code for pipe sizing details.
Secure all joints spanner (wrench) tight but do not over-
tighten.
Test gas pressure by removing the last burner from the left
hand side of the barbecue and attaching a hose and pressure
gauge to the end of the gas valve.Turn on 2 burners and
check the pressure.Inlet pressure should be 4.0” WC or 1.00
kPa.
Australia only (applies to all gas types) : Where a mobile
appliance is to be connected to a fixed gas supply via a
flexible hose connection, a retaining tether of adequate
strength shall be fixed to the appliance and be suitable to be
fixed to the wall within 50mm of each connection point. The
length of the tether shall not exceed 80% of the length of the
hose assembly. In this way, if the barbecue is accidentally
moved, the chain stops the barbecue from stretching the
hose.
The barbecue appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system.
