- The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve (see picture) terminating
a Type 1 L.P.
- A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a
back-check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal
has been obtained.
- The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety relief device
having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be
provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled
overheated which could result in fire or explosion.
- All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 , Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling
prevention device.
- Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.
- New cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.
- Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your L.P. gas supply cylinder.
- Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.
- After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains free to
function.
Hose and Regulator
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection
been made.
NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off before
any connection is made or removed.
- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas
in the event of a fire.
- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will
limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
- NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.
LP(Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1. The tank valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the knob
clockwise until it stops.
2. Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
3. Always connect the gas supply regulator as follows:
Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the coupling nut
clockwise until the coupler tightens up (see picture). Do not over
tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner
control valves on the unit to the “HIGH” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to
purge before attempting to light the burners.
