Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149.1 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: The infrared sear burner must be connected to a
regulated gas supply.
Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type
of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with
the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.
Gas Conversion:
No attempt shall be made to convert the infrared sear burner
from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use
with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas
supplier. The conversion kits specified must be used.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this infrared sear burner
must be used. The inlet (supply) pressure to the regulator should
be as follows for proper operation:
LP Gas:
Set pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 11" to 14" (27.9 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
Natural Gas:
Set pressure: 4" (10.2 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm)
WCP maximum.
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
(supply) pressure.
Burner Requirements for High Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level. Orifice
conversion is required. See “Assistance or Service” section to
order.
Gas Supply Line Pressure Testing
Testing above ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge):
The infrared sear burner 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 infrared sear burner 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).
Natural Gas:
Infrared sear burners are equipped for use with Natural gas. They
are design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate conversion.
Infrared sear burners are set for Natural gas use and have a
pressure regulator with ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) 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 burner 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 appliance.
LP gas conversion from a local LP gas supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualified person. A qualified
Natural gas technician shall provide the LP gas supply to the
selected sear burner location in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z2223.1/NFPA54 latest edition, and local
codes.
To convert to LP gas, the LP Gas Conversion Kit Number
W10118099 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
LP gas conversion using a 20 lb LP fuel tank:
To convert to LP gas, the LP Gas Conversion Kit Number
W10118099 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
A 20 lb (9.1 kg) LP gas fuel tank must be purchased separately.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved “outdoor”
gas supply line.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
