Why get a Natural Gas Barbecue ?
Natural gas eliminates the need for propane tanks. You won't need to worry about running out of propane in the middle of cooking a meal. Your grill can be connected to the house gas with a separate line. A "quick connect" on the exterior wall is generally used. This can be easily disconnected when needed.
Lines for a natural gas barbecue can be steel, corrugated stainless steel or copper, although copper is preferred by most professionals. It is easier to install and more cost effective. Since installation is easier, costs can be kept down. Once installed, natural gas is about half the cost of propane to operate.
You should always hire a professional to hook up a natural gas line for your barbecue. A separate shut off valve should be installed for this line. This valve should be located near the grill for easy access. A separate valve allows you to turn off the gas when not in use.
How it works we use a combination of Steel and Gas Rated Copper lines to run the gas from a shut off we will provide in the home to a shut off that again we will provide outside the home near where the BBQ will be located. (Depending on the length of gas line and size of the BBQ we will use a typical ½ inch or ¾ inch Gas line.)
Then we will using a combination of couplings nipples and fittings to connect the COUPLER that came with your BBQ.
Next we do a pressure and leak test to make sure you have no dangerous leaks.
Then your are ready to use your Unit !
