Propane Cylinder:
A worn cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged
valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.). This appliance has been designed for use with a 20lb or 30lb size propane cylinder only (not
supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor
appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type
QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The
cylinder shall incorporate listed OPD (overfill protection device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this
appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this appliance. Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches water column to the
appliance and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A
QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It
is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the appliance, the valve must be in the off
position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
Locating the LP tank:
WARNING:
Locate the LP Tank and enclosure out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the LP tank
enclosure may be subject to accidental damage.
Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subject to accidental
damage.
Securing the LP tank:
1.
Fasten the L-bracket to the bottom of the propane tank using the nut and bolt supplied. Ensure the nut is tight and will not
loosen.
2.
Select location for the propane tank following the guidelines above and screw the bracket to the mounting surface. For
concrete surface, use a concrete anchor (not supplied). Ensure that screw is tight so that the cylinder cannot move.
WARNING:
Always ensure L-bracket is securely fastened to avoid tipping of LP tank.
Cylinder Connection:
Ensure the gas regulator has no kinks and is smooth. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1
regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve and tighten until snug. Do not use tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the gas
appliance. A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
Follow the instructions for natural gas hook-up if the appliance is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line.
5.
Connecting kit to fire pit
1.
Utilizing fitting connected to flex line, thread the NPT side to your fire pit with the use of approved thread sealant for gas.
2.
Connect flex line to flare side of fitting that is now attached to your fire pit. (Do not use any thread sealant on flare threads.)
3.
Ensure that connection to flare fitting is tight.
4.
After installing your fire pit into your enclosure, run your STLPK hose to your LP tank.
5.
Connect tank adapter (QCC1-quick connect) to your LP tank.
6.
Ensure fire pit is turned off.
7.
When all connections are assembled, slowly open the valve on your LP tank.
8.
Check for any leaks using gas leak detector or soapy water.
IMPORTANT: The propane cylinder is equipped with an excess flow device. If LP tank valve is opened quickly or fire pit is
on before opening the tank valve, this may cause excess flow valve on the tank to close resulting in low flame height. Turn off
fire pit and disconnect tank adapter (QCC1) and repeat connection steps.
WARNING:
Failure to follow location and
mounting guidelines for the LP tank could
result in serious injury.
