1. SPECIFICATIONS
Self-contained propane gas grill systems are designed to be used only with a 20 lb (9.1
kg) propane cylinder, equipped with a Type 1 cylinder valve and incorporating an overfill
protection device (O.P.D). This grill cannot be connected to an existing #510 P.O.L. type
valve (ones with left-hand threads). The cylinder for your gas grill must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specifications of L.P. gas cylinders:
In Canada:
The National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
In the U.S.:
U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
DO NOT CONNECT TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY, OR USE A
CYLINDER WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF VALVE CONNECTION DEVICE.
The Type 1 valve is recognizable by the large external thread on the outlet part of the
valve. Standard existing valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to connect
a regulator, with other than the:
i) Mating Type 1 connector (recognized by the large black coupling nut)
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
a. A shut-off valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specified in current
standards:
• Canada: CAN/CGA - 1.6a - M98 - Outdoor Gas Grills - Amend. 1.
• U.S.: ANSI Z 21.58a-1998 OUTDOOR COOKING APPLIANCES.
b. A listed overfilling protection device (O.P.D.).
c. A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapor space of the
cylinder.
d. A collar to protect the tank shut off valve.
e. An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
f. A bottom ring for mounting.
THE CYLINDER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 18 1/2" (472 MM) IN HEIGHT AND 12 1/2"
(317 MM) IN DIAMETER.
SAFETY:
• Always turn off the cylinder valve tightly when your grill is not in use.
• Handle tank valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to your grill.
• Never store a spare cylinder under or near your grill when in use.
• Never subject any cylinder to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
• Always keep your in-use cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the
back-check. A damaged back-check can be the source of a leak. Leaking propane
may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
•
DO NOT
fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
WARNING
If the above instructions are not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
