General Information
INSTALLING & CONNECTING GAS LINES
1. Both natural gas and LP Vapor are highly volatile substances,
so strict adherence to all safety procedures, codes, standards
and regulations is essential.
Gas line connections should be made by a certified plumber
familiar with local codes. Always use AGA-approved gas pipe
and a quality pipe sealant or joint compound.
Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the LP tank in
regards to providing sufficient fuel for both the generator and
other operating appliances.
2. Most applications will require an external manual shutoff valve
on the fuel line.

3. When connecting the gas line to the generator, use the
provided section of UL Listed or AGA-approved flexible fuel
line in accordance with local regulations. The purpose of the
flexible fuel line is to ensure that vibration from the generator
does not cause a gas leak at one of the connection points, so
it's important that the line be installed with as few bends as
possible. Installing a sediment trap is also recommended.
4. Never bend the flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow.
Bending the flexible line decreases its ability to absorb
vibrations and defeats its purpose as well as constricts the
actual fuel flow.
5. After checking for leaks, check the gas pressure at the
REGULATOR to make sure there's enough gas pressure for
generator operation. See Owner's Manual for fuel pressure
specifications and Btu ratings. If not within these limits,
contact your local gas supplier.
