Propane Cylinder Installation
: Set cylinder into hole in bottom shelf. Tighten strap over cylinder to secure it
in place.
Cylinder Connection
: Ensure the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap 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 patio torch. 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 torch is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line, follow the instructions for the
natural gas hook-up. Ensure that the supply pressure is 11 inches water column.
Natural Gas Hook-Up
: These connections must be made by a licensed gas fitter. This natural gas patio torch
is supplied with a gas supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural gas and certified
for outdoor use. The patio torch is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water column. Piping and
valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installation must comply with CAN B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the
United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficient to supply this 31,000 BTU/hr patio torch.
The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off
valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible. The flared end of the
hose must be connected to the fitting on the end of the control valve as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose
Attachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not use thread sealer/pipe dope.) Leak test all joints
prior to using the gas torch.
WARNING!
• The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested
before operating the patio torch.
• Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on
any hose connection.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak causing a fire.
• Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing instructions found in
the manual.
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
