GAS SUPPLY
GAS LINE PIPING
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet has its own installation
guide.
If you do not use the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet, you
need to hire a licensed contractor or licensed plumber and
they need to follow the requirements described in the ANSI
Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA
1.6 for LP enclosures.
The requirements described in the Standard for Outdoor
Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6. are as follows;
A remote enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be ventilated
by openings at both the upper and lower levels of the cylinder.
This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
•
•
Refer to the piping chart at the bottom of previous page.
The corrugated gas line from the manifold is 58 inches
long. Do not extend the gas line.
•
•
We have provided the means to make an SAE 45° flare
connection. Do not use pipe sealant on this connection.
If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet,
use a 5/8” O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for
lengths greater than 50 feet. Refer to piping chart.
Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethyl-
ene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062
inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought
iron pipe.
•
•
Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more
than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of
gas.
a). One side of the remote LP cylinder enclosure shall be
completely open; or
•
•
Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground
use.
Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material
which may corrode the piping, must be protected against
corrosion in an approved manner.
b). If the remote LP cylinder enclosure is designed to have
four sides, a top and a bottom, ventilation is required for
the remote LP cylinder enclosure;
1). There should be at least two ventilation openings,
(a hole or group of holes, for the purpose of ventila-
tion) in the sidewalls of the enclosure. The openings
should be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the
top of the enclosure. The ventilation openings should
be equally sized and spaced at a minimum of 90
degrees, and be unobstructed. The openings shall
have a total free open area of not less than 20 square
inches. (This relates to1 square inch of ventilation
area, per pound of stored fuel capacity).
•
Underground piping must have a minimum of 18” cover.
TEST CONNECTIONS
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks
in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures
in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the
area while you check for gas leaks. This will result
in a fire or explosion which can cause serious
bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
2). Ventilation openings (a hole or group of holes, for the
purpose of ventilation) should be provided at floor
level. The ventilation openings should have a total
free area of not less than 10 square inches. (This
relates to square of ventilation area, per pound of
stored fuel capacity). There should be at least two
ventilation openings if the ventilation openings at floor
level are in the sidewall. The ventilation openings
should be within 5 inches (127mm) of the floor. The
ventilation openings should be of equal size and be
spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees, and should be
unobstructed.
Typical 20 LP propane gas supply Instal-
lation
We strongly recommend that you use the Summit® Built-In
Tank Cabinet (#21280) for installations using a 20 lb LP cylin-
der, mounted remotely in an “island” structure.
3). The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should
not be less than inch.
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet is a CSA listed acces-
sory for installing a remote mounted 20 lb LP cylinder, in an
“island” structure. Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet has a hose
and regulator assembly and gas connections, for connecting
a remote mounted LP cylinder to the Summit® Built-In gas
grill. The hose and regulator is listed as a required part of the
CSA listed Summit® Built-In gas grill.
4). The ventilation openings in the sidewalls should not
allow venting into the empty or “hollow” area of the
“island”. If a gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder
should vent in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas
should not be allowed to vent or migrate into the
empty or “hollow” area of the “island”. Ventilation
openings in the sidewalls of the enclosure should
only communicate with the outside of the “island”
structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of the
“island” structure.
The Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet also meets the require-
ments for venting, tank retention and separation of the LP
cylinder from a heat source as outlined in the ANSI Standard
for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.58/CSA 1.6 for LP
enclosures.
c). If the remote LP cylinder enclosure has four sides, a top
and a bottom, and is intended for installation in a built-in
“island” enclosure;
4
1). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of
holes, for the purpose of ventilation) needs to be on
one side of the enclosure that communicates with
the outside of the “island” structure. If a gas leak
should occur or the LP cylinder should vent in the LP
cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be allowed to
vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow” area of the
“island”. Ventilation openings should only communi-
cate with the outside of the “island” structure, so that
If your, licensed contractor or licensed plumber, builds an LP
cylinder enclosure following the guidelines in the ANSI Stan-
dard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances,
Z21.58 CSA 1.6, you need to order kit number (#21287),
which will contain the hose and regulator assembly, mount-
ing bracket for the regulator, connection fittings and LP tank
bracket for retaining the LP cylinder that must be used with
the Summit® Built-In gas grill. The hose and regulator in the
kit (#21287) is listed as part of the CSA listed Summit® Built-
the gas can dissipate outside of the “island” structure. In gas grill.
The ventilation opening should be located within
5 inches (127mm) of the top of the enclosure, and
should have a total free area of 20 square inches.
DANGER
Use of any other hose and regulator assembly could be
dangerous, and may not provide adequate gas supply
to the Summit® Built-In gas grill, and could result in a
fire or an explosion causing serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
(This relates to 1 square inch of ventilation area, per
pound of stored fuel).
2). At least one ventilation opening (a hole or group of
holes, for the purpose of ventilation) needs to be on
one side of the enclosure that communicates with the
outside of the “island” structure, at the bottom. If a
gas leak should occur or the LP cylinder should vent
in the LP cylinder enclosure, the gas should not be
allowed to vent or migrate into the empty or “hollow”
area of the “island”. Ventilation openings should
only communicate with the outside of the “island”
structure, so that the gas can dissipate outside of
the “island” structure. The ventilation opening should
be located within 5 inches (127mm) of the bottom of
the enclosure, and should have a total free area of
10 square inches. (This relates to 1/4 square inch of
ventilation area, per pound of stored fuel).
DANGER
Failure to use the the Summit® Built-In Tank Cabinet for
a 20 lb cylinder or failure to build a LP cylinder enclo-
sure for a 20 lb cylinder following the requirements for
ventilation, cylinder retention and separation of the LP
cylinder from a heat source, listed in the ANSI Stan-
dard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.58
CSA 1.6, could be dangerous, and could result in a fire
or an explosion causing serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
3). The minimum size of the ventilation hole (s) should
not be less than inch.
d). The remote LP cylinder enclosure should be constructed
with non-combustible materials. The remote LP cylinder
enclosure should isolate the LP cylinder from the burner
compartment, so that it provides shielding from radiation,
be a flame barrier and provide protection from foreign
material such as hot drippings.
If you do not follow the DANGER statements exactly, the
Warranty on the Summit® Built-In gas grill will be voided.
e). There should be a minimum of 2 inches (50.8mm) be-
tween the ground and the floor of the remote LP cylinder
enclosure.
f). The LP cylinder valve should be readily accessible for
hand operation. A door on the remote LP cylinder enclo-
sure to gain access to the LP cylinder valve is acceptable,
provided it is non- locking and can be opened without the
use of tools.

VENTILATION
A 58" inch corrugated gas line is supplied with the grill. This
line needs to pass through the gas inlet opening to the main
gas supply.
WARNING: Air holes must be provided in the
structure at the top and bottom to provide ventilation in
the event of a gas leak.
1) Connect the corregated gas line to the manifold located
on the right hand side of grill under the control panel.
Air holes can be located in a low visibility area and should
be protected by screening material to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the structure. Air holes will also help
dry moisture.
