INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING
REGULATOR TO THE TANK
Only use the pressure regulator &
hose supplied with this appliance.
Replace only with low pressure
regulator model RA328.
1. Place LP tank on a secure,level,
and stable surface.
2. Turn off water supply to the
appliance.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand
wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from
LP tank valve. Always use cap and
strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL transport plug
(plastic part with external threads)
It will defeat the safety feature of
the valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B)
into LP tank valve. Hand tighten
coupling nut, holding regulator
in a straight line (C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the
connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise
to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-
check feature in LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance.
An additional one-half to three
quarters turn is required to
complete connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete
connection, disconnect regulator and
repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still
unable to complete the connection,
do not use this regulator!
• Do not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result
in explosion, fire, severe personal
injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this
appliance to the self-contained LP
gas system of a camper or trailer or
motor home.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAK TESTING
1. Turn off water supply to the
heater.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly
connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve
by turning hand wheel counter
clockwise. If you hear a rushing
sound, turn gas off immediately.
There is a major leak at the
connection. Correct before
Attempting to tighten the hose
fitting to the appliance without
using a wrench on the brass
adapter fitting on the bottom of
the appliance could damage the
product and cause a gas leak. Two

putting too much torque on the
appliance. Damage may occur to
the unit if tightened improperly.
