The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided with a shut off
valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type
QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.
LP GAS CONNECTION TO LP TANKS:
Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for use with LP gas comes equipped with its own regulator, which
MUST NOT be removed. There is also a secondary high capacity, hose/regulator assembly for connec-
tion to a standard 20 Lb. LP cylinder. The LP gas pressure regulator and hose supplied with this unit
must be used without alteration.
If this assembly needs to be replaced use only the type specified by ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for this
appliance. 30” grills require a 90,000 BTU minimum regulator / hose assembly. All other sizes require a
160,000 BTU minimum two-stage regulator / hose assembly.
To connect the regulator / hose assembly follow the next steps:
1. Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the
rear right side of your BBQ unit (remove the rear panel
from the BBQ cart to gain access - in cart mounted
models).
2. Attach a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) elbow to
the regulator ( see figure # 2 ).
3. Fasten the hose connection to a 1/2” MPT x 3/8” COMP
(compression flare fitting) connected to the elbow.
( see figure # 2 ).
