Gas Hook-Up Instructions
LP (Propane) Gas Cylinder Mounting
Attach cylinder retaining bracket to the base of the cylinder. Then secure to the surface to which it sits.
Cylinder should be on a level surface.
Cylinder Connection : Ensure the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder
fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not
use tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the appliance. A leak test must be performed annually and each
time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
If this appliance is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line, follow the instructions
for the natural gas hook-up.
CAUTION!
• Make sure cylinder valve is in its full off position. (Turn clockwise to stop).
• Check cylinder valve features to ensure it has proper external mating threads. (Cylinder Valve
Marked: USE WITH TYPE 1)
• Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged
equipment. See your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.
• When connecting regulator assembly to the cylinder valve, hand tighten black QCC1 nut clockwise
to a positive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the quick closing
coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
• Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be
subject to accidental damage.
• Open cylinder valve fully (counter-clockwise). Turn the on/off valve at the unit slowly to the on
position and use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks as indicated in the
diagrams before attempting to light the appliance. If a leak is found, turn tank valve off and do not
use the appliance until repairs can be made.
WARNING!
If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
Propane Cylinder Specifications
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. The LP-gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the U.S. D.O.T. Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Good and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable.
This appliance has been designed for use with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) or 30 lb (13.6 kg) size propane cylinder only
(not supplied).
The LP-gas supply cylinder must be provided with a cylinder-connection device compatible with the
connection for the appliance. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in
a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor
space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder
shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The LP-gas cylinder must be provided with a listed
overfill protection device (OPD). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never
fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this appliance. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. The regulator supplies a pressure
of 11 inches. water column to the appliance and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this
unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection,
which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess
flow device. In order to attain full flow to the appliance, the valve must be in the off position when the
cylinder valve is turned on.
WARNING!
A fire will result if the gas supply hose makes contact with the underside of the
appliance.
