INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting The Gas Lines To The Propane Tanks
• New propane tanks are shipped empty with no
pressure and must be purged of air and filled
with propane per NPGA (national propane gas
Association)
• Tank brackets must be mounted to the charbroiler
stand (refer to on the Lighting Instructions
section).
• Tanks must be mounted securely to the mounting
brackets (refer to paragraph “E” below).
• Install the green plastic connector onto the
external thread on the tank valve. Turn it
clockwise and hand tighten. The plastic nut is
designed for easy grip and allows user friendly,
wrench-less connection. It is thermally sensitive
and will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to
temperatures between 240°F and 300°F. Type I
(Q.C.C. 1) connection system will not allow gas
to flow until a positive seal has been made (See
Figure “A-3”).
• Make sure the vent on the regulator is facing
down (toward the ground) so that water and other
liquids do not get into the regulator.
All 20-lb LP cylinders are provided with the new
Type I ACME valve with an OPD (overfill protection
device) installed. The 40-lb LP cylinders have a
Type I ACME service valve with a one-way valve
that only allows propane to flow out of the valve.
The 40-lb cylinder cannot be filled through this
Type I ACME service valve as the 20 lb cylinders
are. The 40-lb cylinders have a 1-3/4” ACME
male fill connection with a built in OPD to protect
the cylinder from being overfilled. Be sure that
your local propane supplier has the correct
adapter to fill through a 1-3/4” ACME male filling
connector.
20-lb cylinders must be used in the vertical
(upright) position and 40-lb cylinders must be
used in the horizontal (laying down) position.
