Double Cylinder
Two propane cylinders
6. Secure the cylinder to the A-frame bracket using the
bolts, nuts and washers provided.
Double Cylinder Mounted On A-Frame (if so
equipped)
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.
Place the second cylinder on the A-frame bracket so the
cylinder valve is pointed to the roadside of the recreation
vehicle.
1. Secure the second cylinder to the A-frame using the
bolts, nuts and washers provided.
2. Attach the second 24” hose to the tee check valve on
the regulator and the right handed swivel nut to the
cylinder valve.
Located in a recessed compartment or housing (if so
equipped)
Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to the outlet of the
two-stage regulator.
1. Place the cylinder on the bracket in the recess
compartment or housing and secure them so the outlets of the cylinder valves are facing
the “sidewalls” of the compartment or housing (opposite of each other).
2. Mount the regulator on the center back wall of the compartment or housing so the vent
is pointed downward.
3.
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.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
Attach the main supply hose from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting in the frame of
the trailer. The swivel brass nut on the main hose will be your final attachment.
Each time the propane container is removed:
1.
Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested
with a propane leak detector (or soapy
water) solution.
3.
Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to the excess flow valve
causing propane freeze up. If you experience a propane “freeze-up,” close the main
valve and wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again. Refer to the regulator
manufacturer’s operator manual.
4. Listen carefully - a “hissing” sound longer than one second may indicate a propane
leak. If you feel there may be a leak present, close the valve and contact your dealer or
qualified propane technician for repair assistance.
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system after filling. Make sure the
valve is closed and the compartment door is securely latched.
