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 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 provided
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 se-
cured to the base tray.
4. Attach the inverted flare x 11” Type-1 pig-
tail hose to the regulator inlet and the right hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
WARNING: The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or pulling
stress at either end of the hose.
WARNING: Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylinder
collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment structures 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 compartment or housing and secure
them so the outlet of the cylinder valves
are facing the “sidewalls” of the compart-
ment or housing.
3. Mount the regulator on the center back wall of the compartment or housing so the
vent is pointed downward.
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.
