Fig. 8.5 Single cylinder
1. Connect the 3/8" low pressure hose to the
outlet of the two stage regulator.
2. Attach the regulator with the “Z” bracket
on the center of the front wall with the vent
pointing down.
3. Attach the protective plastic cover to the
regulator.
4. The regulator has a 90° elbow that directs
the inlet toward the trailer curbside.
5. Place the cylinder on the bracket provided
on the A-frame and position it so the outlet
of the cylinder valve is pointed directly
outward to the curbside wall.
6. If a vinyl cylinder cover is provided, slip it
over the cylinder and leave the zipper
open (if so equipped).
7. Attach the 1/4" inverted flare x 24" Type 1
pigtail hose to the regulator inlet and the
right hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
8. If applicable, close the cylinder cover
zipper (if so equipped) up to the hose.
9. Secure the cylinder to the A-frame bracket
using the bolts, nuts and washers
provided.
Double Cylinder Mounted On A-Frame
When a second cylinder is installed, a tee
check valve is used to replace the 90° elbow
at the top of the regulator and another 1/4"
inverted flare x 24" Type 1 pigtail is added.
The regulator stays in the original position.
Fig. 8.6 Double cylinder
1. Place the second cylinder on the A-frame
bracket so the cylinder valve is pointed to
the roadside of the folding camping trailer.
2. Secure the second cylinder to the A-frame
using the bolts, nuts and washers
provided.
3. If a vinyl cylinder cover is used, slip it over
the new single cylinder, or a double
cylinder cover may be used in lieu of
single covers.
4. Attach the second 24" hose to the tee
check valve on the regulator and the right
handed swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid
tension or pulling stress at either end of
the hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from
sharp edges of the cylinder collar, rigid
corners, walls, doors or other compartment
structures including the cover.
Ensure that all fasteners are secured
before traveling.
