Servicing your ZIMMER 

ZIMMER

 vaporizers are designed to require very little maintenance.  

The amount and frequency of maintenance depends on the quality 

of the LPG. The main servicing points for the system are the drip 

leg or heavy ends trap, vaporizer gas passages, the inlet strainer, 

and the inlet valve screen. 

Annual Maintenance Requirements: 

 

Component 

Action Required 

Inlet strainer  

Remove plug and clean the screen.  Replace screen if gaps or 

holes are present in the screen.  If oils or contaminants are present, 

it may be necessary to use a cleaning solution to remove them. 

Inlet valve 

Check for accumulation of heavy ends. Remove the inlet valve, 

allow heavy ends to drain. Alternatively blow out the oils through 

the holes in the valve body. 

Do not disassemble the valve! 

Ensure thermal probe is sufficiently coated in thermal grease 

and pushed all the way into the thermowell.

 Recommend 

replacing the valve after 7 years in service. 

Relief Valve 

Visually check and replace if leaks are observed.  Check for 

excessive corrosion and ensure the relief valve is covered with the 

appropriate rain cap to prevent rain and debris from entering the 

valve.  Replace rain cap if damaged or missing.  Relief valve 

should be replaced per the manufacturers’ recommended 

replacement schedule or if it relieves during normal operation. 

Electronic wiring 

and connections 

Visually inspect all connections for corrosion, loose conductors, 

heat build-up and/or charring.  Tighten or replace if necessary.  

Heat exchanger & 

system drip legs 

Check the system drip legs and vaporizer for heavy ends and oil 

build-ups.  If present, first ensure there are no sources of ignition 

within 25 feet (8 meters), then drain heavy ends to a 

safe area

. If 

necessary, the heat exchanger gas passages can be cleaned by 

removing end caps, plugs, and adapters. Use compressed air or a 

non-metallic brush to clean gas passages. Visually inspect plug, 

adapter and valve o-rings and 

always perform a leak test

 after re-

installing. 

When reinstalling plugs, torque to 44 ft-lbs (60 Nm).

 

After cleaning ensure that the gas passage inserts are installed 

back in the same passages they were removed from! 

NOTE:  In areas where LPG quality is poor it may be necessary 

for the drip legs and heat exchanger to be checked for heavy 

ends more frequently (monthly or bi-monthly depending on 

LPG quality)

 

Mounting bracket  Visually inspect mounting brackets for cracks or damage. 

 

CAUTION – HOT! 

 

When servicing the vaporizer, always make sure the vaporizer has 

cooled prior to touching!
