not for use on gas grills and other low pressure devices. DOT cylinders equipped with an
OPD and ACME type 1 service valve are identified by the triangular service valve knob.
DOT cylinders are typically marked with “top” or an arrow to indicate the correct orientation
of the cylinder(s). Do not mount, store or transport any cylinder other than the in proper
position indicated.
Be sure to securely re-install DOT cylinder(s) after they have been removed for filling or
replacement. Always close the service valve and install a dust cap or plug when transporting
or storing disconnected containers whether full or empty.
ASME tanks are permanently mounted to the RV and are commonly used on RV motor
homes. The capacity of ASME tanks is expressed in gallons. ASME tanks are filled while
the tank is attached to the motor home by a qualified propane facility. ASME tanks are
equipped with an automatic stop fill valve designed to reduce the potential of overfilling.
ASME propane tanks are also equipped with a P.O.L. service valve that is for connection of
the supply hose with a left hand threaded brass P.O.L. fitting from the tank service valve to
the two-stage regulator. Not for use on gas grills and other low pressure devices.
Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As
the fuel is released from the container, it changes to vapor
which is then used for the operation of the appliances.
Propane will not run through the appliances in the liquid
state.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees
of increase in temperature. It is imperative to leave
sufficient space inside the container to allow for natural
expansion of gas during warmer weather.
The main shut off valve must be kept closed at all times
unless you are using the propane system or filling the
propane cylinder. When the cylinder is disconnected
from the hose, install the valve cover that is attached to
the container.
Close the propane cylinder main shut off valve by
hand tightening
only. Use of tools createto over tighten the valve (damaging the
interior seals on the cylinder valve seat). If this type of damage
occurs, the cylinder will not close properly.
This propane label should be kept permanently affixed to your
RV.
Servicing or Filling
Have the recreation vehicle checked for leaks at the connections
on the propane system soon after the purchase and the initial filling of each propane cylinder.
NOTE:
Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in
accordance to State and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.
