For your benefit, we’ve created some tools to assist you in discovering that value. The following information will help you get the most out of your purchase, whether you’ve already placed your order and are now waiting for your new barbecue grill to appear.
Let’s get your outdoor kitchen set up right away, without further postponement or delay! Before you schedule the installation of your next gas grill, here are some important questions you should ask yourself.
Do You Have an LP Tank Ready?
Since transporting LP tanks could be dangerous, buy propane BBQ grills that don’t come with them. When you want to connect your gas grill to your LP tank, most of them already have the right threaded connection ready to go.
If you want to use your new grill right away, make sure the tank is full. There are building stores and petrol stations near you where you can buy one.
Is Your Natural Gas Connection Ready?
Within 10 feet of your new grill, you must have a natural gas line ready to go. This new line can only be put in by a licensed plumber, and your town will check for leaks. Also, they will check to see if your new line meets the building rules in your area.
Installing appliances is not the same as being a plumber, so they won’t be able to change your house connection. In the event that you contact reputable experts and decide to go ahead with the new natural gas line installation, they will usually do the following:
- Putting the gas off button in your house
- Looking at which parts will work best with your pipes
- Making sure your new gas line is installed so it doesn’t let air in
- Connecting the wire to your built-in or dual-fuel grill
The worker might look for a bubble or a group of bubbles around the adapters to see if the air tightness is good. Leaks are very likely to be present if there is even a single bubble of liquid around a connection.
Leak tests and inspections can take time, so you should start this process as soon as you buy your grill, if not before.
Does Your Grill Come With a Natural Gas Hose and Connection Kit?
A natural gas hose and connection kit is something that more and more gas grill makers are skimping on. Make sure you read the online product instructions to see if your grill comes with installation parts like a natural gas hose.
If you decide to buy a built-in grill, most of the time, the customer manual will give you clear directions on how to install, put together, and take it apart. From dozens to thousands of parts, and from minutes to hours, the process of putting them together.
So, whether you have a built-in natural gas grill installation or a dual fuel type, a good product manual should make it very clear how to connect the fuel line to your grill. We don’t want a grill that doesn’t work if it doesn’t have a fuel line, do we?
