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 15). 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.
GAS CONNECTION - NATURAL GAS (NG)
NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the gas line supply pressure
is adequate. Use only the gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. This regulator is set for a
supply (inlet) pressure of 7-14 inch WC [1.74-3.48 kPa] to maintain 4 inch WC [1.00 kPa] nominal outlet
(manifold) pressure. Use a minimum 1/2” ID flex hose to prevent gas starvation. Ensure that the service
pipe supplying the appliance is fitted with a shut-off valve conveniently positioned and easily accessible as
an emergency gas shut-off.
