How do I connect my ELEMENTI OFG415NG Riviera Fire Table to natural gas?

[DiDonovan]

Connecting your ELEMENTI OFG415NG Riviera Fire Table to a natural gas source requires careful attention to safety and procedure. Here's how, based on the user manual: First, ensure a professionally installed shut-off valve is in place between your gas supply piping and the socket, as per the National Fuel Gas Code. This socket connection must be outdoors. To connect the socket: Apply a gas-resistant pipe compound or approved Teflon PTFE tape to the gas supply pipe. Then, thread the socket onto the gas supply pipe (your house gas source) and tighten it with a wrench. Note that the quick disconnect socket on your fire table should never be directly connected to the gas supply. The direction of gas flow is indicated on the socket itself. To use the quick connect socket on your fire table: Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket and insert the unattached end of the gas hose into the socket. Release the sleeve and push the hose in until the sleeve snaps into the locked position. After completing all connections, perform a thorough leak test as detailed in your manual. Make sure all connections are secure and leak-free before using your fire table. If you run into any problems, consult the troubleshooting section of your manual or contact ELEMENTI for technical assistance.
