GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON
ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE THAT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
GRILL IS USED. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural
gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that
which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by check-
ing the rating plate.
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type. This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the heat shield behind the front panel
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Both the regulator and the manifold orifi ces have been
tuned for the type of gas specifi ed on the rating plate.
Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from your dealer and must be installed by a
qualifi ed technician.
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.Canadian installations
must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2 natural gas/propane instal-
lation code. (Canada)

16 INSTALLATION / USE & CARE

NATURAL GAS

Viking Range, LLC recommends that only qualifi ed profes-
sionals perform the required plumbing on this product.
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements mu u
of all the gas-fi red equipment that will be connected to that
line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4" inside diameter or 1"
outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to "INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs" for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: "BTU Output" for specifi c model outputs)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily acces-
sible location by a qualifi ed plumber.
