GAS CONNECTIONS
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order
to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation,
have the gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is
supplied with the necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).
Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance
installer.
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as
a means of isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.
Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been
purged so that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners.
Use pipe joint compound / thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.
NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding,
ensure the appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas
type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas
consumption (BTU per hour) for each burner type is shown on the rating label affixed to the
underside of the drip tray.
Installation of this cooking appliance must be made in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code No.
Z223.1/ NFPA 54
, Natural Gas and Propane Installation code
CSA B149-1
, or Propane
Storage and Handling Code B149.2.
NOTE: See rating label for manifold pressure for the type of gas of your appliance.
CONVERSION KITS
Gas conversion kits are available from your Hestan dealer should you need to convert an LP unit
to NG, or vice-versa.
HIGH ALTITUDE KITS
If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. [610 m] or more above sea level, your grill will require
different orifices for proper combustion and performance. High altitude kits are available
through Hestan Customer Service. Please have your model and serial number information ready
when you call.
FREE-STANDING GRILL CONNECTION TO A STATIONARY SUPPLY
Natural Gas (NG) units, or propane (LP) units mounted on a cart and connected to a stationary
gas supply outside the grill must be connected using a 10 ft. approved gas hose. This hose may be
purchased as an accessory.
When routing the hose behind your grill, be careful not to roll over the hose, or place it in an area
of high foot traffic which could create a tripping hazard. Make sure there are no sharp bends in
the hose. Periodically check the hose for scratches, nicks, brittleness, cracking, which could all
lead to a gas leak. Check for gas leaks if you ever smell gas (see LEAK TESTING on page 18). As
an added safety measure, shut off the gas supply after each grill use. Do not push excess hose
length back into the rear access hole of the grill cart. There is not enough room inside the unit
and the hose would get kinked or damaged by cart movement.
