Gas Hook-Up
L.P. TANK REQUIREMENT
A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a
damaged valve. The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or
the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission, as applicable. Overfilling prevention device
(OPD) shall be provided on cylinder & QCCI connection on
the cylinder valve, ANSI/CGA-V-1. The cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder
must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The
cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminal in an
L.P. gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable,
for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed
gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Manifold pressure: 11” water column (W.C.).
L.P. GAS HOOK-UP
Ensure that the black plastic grommets on the LP
cylinder valve are in place and that the hose does not
come into contact with the grease tray or the grill head.
CONNECTION
Your stainless steel grill is equipped with gas supply
orifices for use only with liquid propane gas. It is also
equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly
for connection to a standard 20lb. L.P. cylinder 469.9 mm /
18-1/4 in. high, 304.8 mm / 12-1/4 in. diameter).
To connect the L.P. gas supply cylinder, please follow the
steps below:
1.
Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn
clockwise to stop)
2.
Check tank valve to assure it has proper external
male threads (type 1 connection per ANSIZ21.81)
3.
Make sure all burner valves are in their off position.
4.
Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator assembly.
Look for any damage or debris. Remove any debris.
Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use
damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local L.P.
gas dealer for repair.
5.
When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand
tighten the quick coupling nut clockwise to a complete
stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench
may damage the quick coupling nut and result in a
hazardous condition.
6.
Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Apply the
soap solution with a clean brush to all gas connections.
See below. If growing bubbles appear in the solution
the connections are not properly sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
7.
If you have a gas connection leak you cannot repair,
turn gas OFF at supply tank, disconnect fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-913-8999 or your gas supplier
for repair assistance.
8.
Also apply soapy solution to the tank seams. See below.
If growing bubbles appear, shut tank OFF and do not
use or move it! Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire
department for assistance.
To disconnect L.P. gas cylinder:
1.
Turn the burner valves off.
2.
Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3.
Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by
turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
