stored fuel capacity.
If one side of the enclosure is to be left open, a chain located 12 inches above the floor of the enclosure must span the
opening to prevent the tank from tipping. One end of the chain should be attached with a hook for easy removal of the
tank.
Ventilation openings must be provided at floor level of the enclosure and must have a total free area of not less than 1/2
square inch per lb (7.1 cm

/kg) of stored fuel capacity. If ventilation openings at floor level are in a sidewall, there must
be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings must be 1 in (25.4
mm
) or less from the floor level and the upper
edge no more than 5 in. (127
mm
) above the floor level. The openings must be equally sized, spaced at a minimum of
90 degrees (1.57 rad) and unobstructed. Every opening must have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance
of a 1/8 in. (3.2

of the fireplace. The propane cylinder enclosure MUST be isolated from the fireplace but can be part of the fireplace
enclosure. See the example below.
A regulator hose with a QCC-1 connection and an outlet pressure set for 11” w.c. can be purchased at any retail outlet
that offers gas grill replacement parts. All parts of the hose must remain inside the enclosure.
