FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
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).
