latched before towing.
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Fill Valve
The LPG tanks are equipped with fill valve connections
RV Type I Acme � The large, green, nylon swivel nut is
a right-hand thread and is designed for hand operation
only�
The valve features an internal spring-loaded module
that will not allow gas to flow from the cylinder until a
positive seal has been made at the connection� The
valve outlet has 1-5/16 in� Acme threads on the outlet
exterior, and female POL, left-handed threads on its
interior� This feature allows for connection of the new
wrenchless, right-handed, Acme RV connection while
still accommodating the standard left-handed POL
fittings used for filling propane cylinders.
The mating, green swivel nut and brass nipple also
incorporate new features: the green nylon nut swivels
on a black bushing that is heat-sensitive� Between 240
and 300°F, the bushing will yield (melt) allowing the
spring-loaded module in the valve to push the brass
nipple back (approximately 1/4 in�), closing the module
and stopping the flow of gas from the cylinder. Inside
the brass nipple is a flow-limiting device designed
to sense excessive gas flow. If an excessive flow is
sensed, the flow-limiting device shuts the flow down
to a maximum of 10 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per
Hour) or less� This is also referred to as the bypass
flow.
