See "Assistance or Service" section to order High Altitude Conversion Kit. Gas Supply Line Pressure Testing Testing above ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge): The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Testing below ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge) or lower: The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Gas Connection Requirements Natural Gas Built-in grill models are equipped for use with Natural gas. They are design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane) gases with appropriate conversion. Built-in models are set for Natural gas use and have a pressure regulator with ½" female pipe threads. The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the grill and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the grill. B A C A. Gas supply line B. Shutoff valve "open" position C.
