NOTE: If freeze-up does occur, shut off the propane gas at the tank. A frozen regulator may
permit propane gas to flow at high pressure, resulting in leaks at appliances or in the lines.
If freeze-up does occur, NEVER attempt to thaw with an open flame. Once thawed, be sure to
take the proper steps to prevent a reoccurrence. Have the system checked by your propane
gas supplier if freeze-up continues.
Remember that as outside temperatures drop, the BTU value of the propane gas is lessened,
since the colder liquid propane in the tanks requires the heat from the surrounding air to
vaporize. This lowering of BTU value can significantly affect the performance of the system.
You can help insure proper performance by keeping the propane gas tank as full as possible in
cold weather, and reviewing the BTU/hr plates on propane gas appliances for proper propane
management.
The hoses, pipes, tubes, and fittings used in the propane gas system are designed to withstand
pressures far exceeding those of the propane system. However, because environment and time
can both contribute to the deterioration of these components, they must be inspected for wear
at regular intervals. Be sure to inspect the hose before each season and when having the tank
refilled. Look for signs of deterioration such as cracks or loss of flexibility.
When replacing the hose or other propane components, make sure to always replace them with
components of the same type and rating (check with your dealer).
