A warning label has been placed near the LP gas container. This label reads:
1
WARNING
THIS GAS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE OF
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT
N A T U R A L G A S T O T H I S S Y S T E M . D O N O T F I L L
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY. Securely cap inlet(s) when not connected
for use. After turning on gas, except after normal container
replacement, test gas piping and connections to appliances for
leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use
products that contain ammonia or chlorine.

OPD Overfill Protection
Supplied with your travel trailer is information that applies to the Type 1 ACME LP Gas
Connection on your LP gas tank(s). Please read all information contained in the supplied
literature.
The following instructions will supply information for correct cylinder/valve orientation,
regulator placement, hose length, hose routing and cylinder cover placement. Make sure
these steps are followed for proper LP gas connections.
DUAL CYLINDER ASSEMBLY WITH BOTTLE RACK
ON A-FRAME OR FRONT TRUNK
1. Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to
the outlet of the two-stage regulator.
2. Place the cylinders on the bracket pro-
vided on the A-frame and secure them so
the outlet of the cylinder valves point
outward from the front of the travel trailer.
3. Using the threaded center rod, position
the regulator bracket. This centers the
regulator between the two cylinders as
they are secured to the base tray.
4. Attach the inverted flare x 11” Type-1
pigtail hose to the regulator inlet and the
right hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
1
WARNING: The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or
pulling stress at either end of the hose.
1
WARNING: Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the
cylinder collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment struc-
tures including the cover.
NOTE : The regulator is typically installed with the inlet fittings at the same level as
the cylinder outlet valves. Due to bracket design, wing nut clearance or cover
restrictions, the regulator fittings may not be in perfect alignment with the
cylinder valves. A variance of two (2) inches (5 cm) above or below the line
will permit the hoses to be properly installed.
TWO CYLINDERS (20# OR 30#) (44 OR 66 KILOGRAMS) IN A RECESSED
COMPARTMENT OR HOUSING
1. Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to the outlet of the
two-stage regulator.
2. Place the cylinder on the bracket in the recess compart-
ment or housing and secure them so the outlet of the
cylinder valves are facing the “sidewalls” of the com-
partment or housing.
3. Mount the regulator on the center back wall of the
compartment or housing so the vent is pointed down-
ward.
4. Attach the 1/4” inverted flare x 18” Type-1 pigtail hose
to the regulator inlet and the right hand swivel nut to
the cylinder valve.
1
WARNING: The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or
pulling stress at either end of the hose.
1
WARNING: Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylin
der collar, rigid corners, walls, doors, or other compartment structures
including the cover.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting in
the frame of the travel trailer. The swivel brass nut on main hose will be your final
attachment. Several things to remember each time LP gas container is removed:
1. Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested with leak solution.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of gas to excess flow valve causing
gas freeze up. If you experience a gas “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait 15
minutes before trying again.
4. Listen carefully - a “hissing” sound longer than one second may indicate a gas leak.
Close the valve and search for the leak.
ALL GAS LINES HAVE BEEN CHECKED WITH AIR
PRESSURE. DEALERS ARE REQUIRED TO RECHECK AND
ADJUST PRESSURE BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS.
