5.  Connects to all standard or quick-connect couplings.

6.  The Overfill Protection Device affects incoming liquid propane flow 

only. Does not affect normal propane gas discharge when properly 

connected to the appliance regulator.

7.  All  propane  cylinders  should  be  filled  by  qualified  professionals 

only.

Purging

1.  Due to the decreased Btu delivery, purging may take longer.

2.  To  increase  the  speed  of  purging,  open  the  outage  valve  during 

release.

3.  Reminder: Each new cylinder must be purged before filling.

4.  For purging instructions, refer to NPGA 133-89(a).
Btu Delivery

The OPD valve has a size 56 orifice through which the propane is released 

for consumption. Depending on the propane's temperature and pressure, 

the release from the cylinder is approximately 125,000 Btu/hour.

OVERFILL  PROTECTION  DEVICE  (OPD)  ON  20  LB. 

PROPANE CYLINDER

Attention: Consumer be advised, this gas grill must be connected 

to an LP gas cylinder incorporating an OPD.

The OPD will help reduce the potential for the overfilling of the pro-

pane cylinder, thus reducing the possibility of hydrostatic relief valve 

discharges.
Overfill Protection Device Valve Function

1.  As the cylinder is filled, the rising level of liquid propane lifts the 

float to the stop position to prevent dangerous overfilling.

  Does not affect the filling process or use of the cylinder.

2.  At a safe filling level, the float cam triggers the pin to fall into the 

recess of the cam, sealing this path off and preventing any more 

liquid propane from flowing through the lower valve body into the 

cylinder.

3.  The propane builds up pressure in the chamber (center spring) and 

pushes the piston up to form a seal, effectively stopping the filling 

process.

4.  The use of the propane from the cylinder allows the OPD to reset 

itself for the next fill.

WARNING:  Inspect the fuel supply hose before each use of 

the outdoor cooking gas appliance.  The hose can be accessed 

by opening the front door on the outdoor cooking gas appli-

ance.  If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the 

hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking gas 

appliance being put into operation. Contact Empire Comfort 

Systems, Inc. to obtain a replacement fuel supply hose. Keep 

the  ventilation  opening(s)  of  the  cylinder  enclosure  free  and 

clear from debris.

WARNING: Do not store a second 20 lb. propane cylinder within  

the utility cart. The utility cart is designed for the use and storage 

•  LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked 

in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the 

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard 

of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the 

Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

  If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be 

turned off at the supply cylinder.

•  Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible 

only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor 

cooking gas appliance.

  Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and 

must not be stored in a building, garage or any enclosed area.

•  The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the out-

door cooking gas appliance must be used. A replacement pressure 

regulator and hose assembly for this outdoor cooking gas appliance 

can be obtained by contacting Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.
