GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the
action of liquefied petroleum gases.
The gas inlet is located at the middle rear (offset to right on HGB71). Codes require that a gas shutoff
valve (not included) be installed in the gas line ahead of the charbroiler. The gas supply line must be
1
1
/4" (32 mm) NPT (inside diameter). Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and
piping compound.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
CASTER-EQUIPPED CHARBROILERS
If the charbroiler is equipped with casters, the gas connector (not supplied by Vulcan-Hart) must
comply with the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition),
and CAN/CGA-6.16 (latest edition) and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition) and CAN/CGA1-6.9
(latest edition).
Provide a gas line strain relief to limit movement of the charbroiler. Do not depend on the connector and/
or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement. Attach the
strain relief to the rear of the charbroiler (Fig. 3).

If it is necessary to disconnect the strain relief, turn off the gas supply before disconnection.
Reconnect the strain relief before turning the gas supply on and returning the unit to its installation
position.
