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.

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!
Hold coupling nut
and regulator as
shown for proper
connection to LP
tank valve.

• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in
enclosed areas.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled
spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas
released from the safety relief valve. The safety relief
valve on a LP tank could activate releasing gas and
cause a fire, resulting in serious injury, property
damade or death.
• If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately
get away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire
department.
• All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on
the LP tank outlet.
