QCC1 COUPLER
The QCC1 coupler and hose assembly connects the
propane gas tanks to the propane gas regulator.
•
It has a right-hand thread.
•
Turn it to the right to tighten, turn left to loosen.
•
The mating surfaces are brass and do not require any
type of pipe sealant.
•
If it ever leaks or cannot be reasonably tightened
without excessive force, replace the complete hose
assembly and/or have the tank valve checked and
serviced.
•
The QCC1 coupler contains an excess flow control to
help restrict gas flow if the hose is cut or the regulator
is broken.
•
It is not designed to detect a leak or totally shut off the
system if a leak or regulator failure occurs.
•
The excess flow control can inadvertently restrict gas
flow to the appliances. To reduce or eliminate this
problem, try the following whenever restricted gas
flow is evident:
1.Be sure all appliances (including pilot lights, if
equipped) are off and no gas is flowing in the
system.
2.Be sure the system is leak free. Test the fittings as
outlined later in this section.
3.Open the gas tank valve slowly. DO NOT SNAP IT
OPEN. The sudden pressure fluctuation could
confuse the excess flow control into thinking that
the system was damaged.
4.Wait at least 15 seconds before lighting any pilot or
appliance.
This procedure will allow the excess flow control to settle
and supply a normal flow of gas.
PROPANE GAS REGULATOR
The regulator is the heart of the PROPANE gas system. It
works continuously and requires more care and attention
than any other part of the system.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE
REGULATOR. IT HAS BEEN PRESET BY THE
REGULATOR MANUFACTURER. IF ANY
ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE MADE
BY A QUALIFIED LPG SERVICE TECHNICIAN
USING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
LIGHTING PROPANE GAS APPLIANCES
Detailed operating information, for propane appliances,
can be found in the Owner’s Information Package. Please
read and follow these instructions.
Air trapped in the gas lines may delay initial lighting of
any appliance. Several seconds or minutes may pass for
the gas to reach the appliance. To purge some of the air
from the gas system, first light a burner on the range. The
other appliances will then light more quickly.
ALWAYS
FOLLOW
THE
APPLIANCE
MANUFACTURER’S LIGHTING AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS.
