Propane Cylinder Requirements
Your Broilmaster Infrared Grill requires a standard 20-lb propane
gas cylinder, which is available from your grill dealer, your LP
supplier, and at most hardware and home stores.
CAUTION
D
o not use a propane gas cylinder which has a capacity
greater than twenty pounds with this grill.
The propane gas cylinder used must be:
1. Constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications
for LP gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods, and Commission as applicable.
2. Provided with a listed overfilling protection device (OPD).
3. Provided with a listed safety device having direct access
with the vapor space of the cylinder and the cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor removal. (Which means
the valve assembly is located at top of the LP cylinder and
the cylinder must remain upright for the propane to come
out of the valve as vapor.)
4. Provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a valve outlet
as specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder
Outlet and Inlet Connections, ANSICGA-V-1.
5. Provided with a plug to effectively seal off the cylinder outlet
when the cylinder is being stored or transported.
6. Provided with a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Connection Requirements
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-
B149.2 Propane Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural
Gas Installation Code, and local codes where applicable. Consult
your local gas supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations
and recommended procedures.
CAUTION
N

for Natural gas, or use Natural gas in a grill designed for
Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different types
of gases should be directed to your local gas supplier.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS
WARNING
U
se Propane gas cylinders equipped with an Overfill
Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly filled
propane cylinder can cause a fire or explosion.
ATTENTION: Propane gas cylinders must comply with Cylinder
Requirements and Connection Requirements above.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible.
Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as external
fitting threads.
All Broilmaster pressure regulators and hose assemblies require
Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.
See Figure Below.
TYPE 1 LP CONNECTION
Inspect the threaded outlet on the tank and the threaded inlet on
the grill’s pressure regulator for dirt, nicks, or corrosion that might
interfere with a gas-tight connection. If the tank outlet shows
damage, return the tank to the supplier for a replacement. If the
grill’s pressure regulator shows nicks or other damage, contact
your dealer for genuine Broilmaster replacement parts.
