PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR REGAL I DROP-IN SERIES BARBECUE
Fig. 8-1 - Ventilation Diagram
WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR GAS BARBECUE
Fire Magic barbecues are designed for outdoor use
only.
WARNING
Built-in models must be installed in masonry or other
type of fi reproof enclosure, unless an insulating liner is
purchased from the manufacturor. The unit alone is not
insulated, and therefore must be installed with 18" (45.7
cm) of side, front, and back clearance from unprotected
combustible materials, such as wood, plastic, or stucco
with wood framing.
Do not install this unit under unprotected fl ammable
surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area, including
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
In order to install the unit within combustible materials
you must purchase and utilize the Regal drop-in
insulation liner kit. See instructions received with
your liner for directions on how to install.
This is a drop-in type unit designed to fi t into countertop
enclosures. The top panel of the unit is removable for gas
hookup, servicing and burner adjustment.
Note: This unit should be installed so that it can be
removed at a later date if factory service is
required. Any protrusion into the barbecue
enclosure may obstruct the frame and prevent
the unit from dropping into place (see GAS
SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS).
INSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
VENTILATION
You must maintain proper air fl ow for your Fire Magic
barbecue to perform as it was designed (as shown, below,
in
Fig. 8-1). If airfl ow is blocked in any way, overheating
and poor combustion will result. Make sure not to block
the air inlet around the inside edges of the top panel.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the grill area should
be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An
exhaust fan with a rating of up to 1000 CFM (472 liters
per second) or more may be necessary to effi ciently
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from the
covered area. Installation in fully-enclosed patio areas
is not recommended.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
All electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue must
be properly grounded.
Note: Keep electrical supply cords away from all
heated surfaces.
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
When natural gas is to be used, rigid
1

" (1.3 cm) or

"
(.75 cm) black steel pipe, or local code approved pipe for
temperatures up to 800°F (427°C), is required to conduct
the gas supply into the enclosure opening for connection
to the unit.
Note: An external valve (with a removable key) in
the gas line is necessary for safety when
your barbecue is not in use. It also provides
for convenient maintenance and repair.
Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all
gasses on all male pipe fi ttings. Make sure to tighten
every joint securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to
connect fl are fi ttings. The gas supply pipe should enter
from the fl oor, or from the back or side wall in the right
rear corner of the barbecue enclosure, behind the valve
control zone. This pipe should terminate with a
