LP Gas:
IMPORTANT:
A 20 lb LP gas fuel tank must be purchased
separately.
IMPORTANT: The gas pressure regulator/hose assembly
supplied with the grill must be used. Replacement gas pressure
regulator/hose assembly specific to your model is available from
your outdoor grill dealer.
To Connect the 20 lb LP Gas Fuel Tank:
1. Check that the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank is in the “Off”
position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Check that the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank valve has the proper
type-1 external male thread connections per ANSI Z21.81.
3. Check that the burner control knobs are in the “Off”
position.
4. Remove any debris and inspect the valve connections,
port, and gas pressure regulator/hose assembly for
damage.
NOTE: Always keep the LP cylinder at 90
°
(upright)
orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.
5. Using your hand, turn the gas pressure regulator/hose
assembly clockwise to connect to the 20 lb LP gas fuel
tank as shown.
Hand tighten only. Use of a wrench could damage the

counterclockwise. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
7. Before lighting the grill, test all connections by brushing
on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution.
Bubbles will show a leak.
8. If a leak is found, turn the tank valve off and do not use
the grill. Contact a qualified gas technician to make
repairs.
