At least two ventilation openings at cylinder 

a. 

valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, 

equally  sized,  spaced  at  180º  (3.14  rad), 

and  unobstructed.  Each  opening  shall  have 

a total free area of not less than one square 

inch  per  pound  (7.1  cm²/kg)  of  stored  fuel

(64.5cm²).    If  ventilation  openings  at  floor 

level are in a sidewall, there shall be at least 

two openings.  The bottom of the openings 

shall be at floor level and the upper edge no 

more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the floor. 

The openings shall be equally sized, spaced

Transport  only  one  cylinder  at  a  time.  Ensure  the 

cylinder  is  secured  in  an  upright  position  with  the 

control  valve  turned  off  and  the  dust  cap  in  place. 

Store cylinders outdoors and out of reach of children. 

Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any 

other enclosed area.

LP Gas

Tank Requirements

For  plumbed-in  LP  installation,  use  a 

convertible  regulator  and  set  it  for  LP 

gas. 
Maximum  line  pressure  for  plumbed-in 

propane is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum 

line pressure for propane is 11” WC.
The  grill  unit  must  be  used  with  the 

gas  pressure  regulator.  The  regulator 

will control and maintain a uniform gas 

pressure  in  the  manifold.  The  burner  orifices  have 

been  sized  for  the  gas  pressure  delivered  by  the 

regulator.

WARNING: 

Attempting  to  operate  the  grill  unit 

without  the  gas  regulator  installed  could  cause  an 

explosion and possible death.

Cylinder Specification

Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must 

be:

Constructed  and  marked  in  accordance  with 

• 

the 

Specifications  for  LP-Gas  Cylinders

 

of  the  U.S.  Department  of  Transportation 

or  the  National  Standard  of  Canada, 

CAN/

CSA-B339,  Cylinders,  Spheres  and  Tubes 

for  Transportation  of  Dangerous  Goods; 

and Commission

, as applicable.

Approximately  12  inches  in  diameter  and  18 

• 

inches high.

The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 

gallons.  Full cylinder weight should be approximately 

38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill 

the cylinder beyond 80% full.
Place  the  dust  cap  on  the  cylinder  valve  outlet 

whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the 

type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is 

provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps 

or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP Gas Hook Up

An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by 

openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor 

level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes 

of  ventilation  shall  be  determined  with  the  LP-gas 

supply cylinder in place.  This shall be accomplished 

in one of the following manners:
