Exterior Gas Line Hook-Up Prep:
LP-Gas hook-up is for LP
Accesories and is to be used on
external components only. A LP-Gas
quick disconnect fitting and flexible
hose should be used to connect
accessories to the line hook-up.
Fitting should be installed by a
qualified agency as defined in the
national fuel gas code. (NFPA 54).
Every time accessory is used
check for gas leaks on all
connections, use a liquid dish
detergent to 10 parts water. Agitate
solution until bubbles form, then
apply to all fittings and accessory
control valve. If leak is detected, turn
gas off at main LP tank and contact a
qualified service center for parts.
