Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to appliance.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
Do not smoke during leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area, away
from open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution.
Use mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents.
Damage to gas train
components can result.
Brush soapy solution onto all weld seams and entire valve area.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or
your file department.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a
full stop
.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always
use cap and strap supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding
regulator in a straight line (C) with LP tank valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten
to a full solid stop. The regulator will seal
on the back-check feature in the LP tank
valve, resulting in some resistance. An
additional one-half to three quarters turn
is required to complete connection.
Tighten by hand only
– do not use
tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection,
disconnect regulator and repeat step 5 and 6.
If you are still unable to complete the
connection,
do not use this regulator!
Do not use a POL transport
plug (A) (plastic part with
external threads)! It will
defeat the safety feature of
the valve.
