GAS REQUIREMENTS GAS REQUIREMENTS: Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP. Make sure the marked gas on the appliance rating plate(s) and hook-up kit agrees with that of the supply. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, ANSI/NFPS-770-1984.
GAS REQUIREMENTS To hook-up the fittings supplied with the Professional Side Burner, assemble as shown in Fig.03. Use joint compound on male threads only. Do not use joint compound on the flare end of the 1/2” NPT to 3/8” flare adapter. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow-towards the unit, away from the supply. Bottom of 131 &132 Burner Open Top Manifold 1/2" Coupling 1/2" Nipple Regulator Do not forget to place the installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
LEAK TESTING & LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent, and one part water. Never test for leaks with an open flame. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from the supply line (Fig. 02), or LP cylinder (Fig. 03) up to the manifold pipe assembly (Fig. 05).
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS MATCH LIGHTING Hold a fireplace lit match near the burner ports, turn the control knob counterclockwise to “HI”. Move your hand immediately once the burner is lit. Rotate the control knob to the desired setting. Note: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.
