Barbeques Galore EDV27-BQ Use And Care Manual - Gas Requirements
6
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either
natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the
appliance rating plate 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, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and
the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-1988.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and
resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use
pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections
should be made by a qualified technician and in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must
comply with the national fuel gas code
ANSI Z223.1-1988. Gas conversion kits are
available from the factory. When ordering gas
conversion kits have the model number, and the
type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE
GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
EDV27-BQR - 54,000 Btu/hr
EDV27-BQ - 40,000 Btu/hr
EDV36-BQA - 60,000 Btu/hr
EDV36-BQAR - 74,000 Btu/hr
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of
this appliance must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the national fuel
gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1988. Installation in
Canada must be in accordance with the Standard
Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas
burning appliances and equipment) and local
codes.

NATURAL GAS HOOK UP:
Connection:
1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare
adapter.
Operating pressure:
4.0" W.C.
Supply pressure:
5" to 14" water column. If in
excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is
required. Check with your local gas utility
company or with local codes for instructions on
installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on
type and size of run, and how deep to bury the
line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not
function properly. Any joint sealant used must be
an approved type and be resistive to the actions of
LP gases.
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED
WITH THE GRILL:
Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading
compound on male threads only. Do not use
threading compound on the male end of the 1/2
NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe
wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting
any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the
regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow
towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not
forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an
accessible location.
