of and trained on the various dangers of working with propane gas. Correct procedure is laid out in
NFPA 58, Sect. 1.6. It is recommended that all work on the propane system is done by experienced
and qualified personnel.
WARNING
Over pressurization of the propane system can cause damage to the equipment and will hinder the
ability to seal the system. This can cause leaks and potentially asphyxiation, fire, damage, and
death. If the fuel system is improperly sized, flameout can be caused, leading to leaking of propane
and fire, asphyxiation, damage, and death. The system must be properly designed to prevent this.
Improper testing of fuel system can lead to ignition of propane, causing fire, damage, and death. A
person properly trained to adjust the system is required if the propane system needs any
modification.
The propane system should be plumbed in seamless steel piping with flared ends. Use the following sizes
according to length for determining proper pipe size.
PIPE SIZE MAX LENGTH
⅜” ID 3 FT
½” ID 15 FT
Flexible hoses should only be used at the generator and at the propane tank to make connections. Use
only low permeation fuel hoses rated for propane. Attach the flexible hose to the generator propane
inlet using a ½” female 45 degree flare fitting (generator attachment is a male ½” 45 degree flare
fitting).
Do not combine or split the generator fuel line with a propane fuel supply line that is already supplying
another appliance, as the generator will starve out the rest of the system, due to its large draw with large
demands. The propane system needs to be designed to properly supply the appliances and generator
