Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
The propane piping system is designed for use with
propane only. Do not connect natural gas to this system.
This label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
Refer to your Warranty Packet for more information on the LP
gas system components.
Maintenance
Propane gas is normally non-corrosive - you need not worry
about the inside of your container. However, the outside should
be kept free from rust by a periodic coat of paint in a light re-
flective color. Rust, scratches and/or dents can affect the safety
of the cylinder. Inspect the cylinder at regular intervals.
Ifs a problem, have it evaluated by a qualified technician and
discard it. DOT requires that a visual inspection be made prior
to each filling.
Any cylinder that has been exposed to fire, leaks or seems dam
-
aged should not be refilled.
Do not attempt to repair any containers, container valves, regu-
lator or appliances by yourself. Use only trained certified pro
-
pane gas service technicians to perform repairs.
Propane Cylinder Recertification
DOT cylinders may only be used for 12 years after their manufacture date (the number of
years for certification may vary in your area). After that, the cylinders must be “recertified”
which provides another five years of use.
The cylinders can be recertified every five years thereafter. Federal DOT (Department of
Transportation) regulations require periodic inspections and re-qualifications of the propane
cylinders. DO NOT USE damaged or rusted containers.
Verify with your local propane dealer that all required inspections and certifications have
been completed on the propane cylinder within the correct time period before refilling the
cylinder. Have the LP system checked for leakage each time a cylinder is refilled or after
any part of the propane system has been disconnected.
Hoses, Pipes, Tubes and Fittings
The hoses, pipes, tubes and fittings used in your propane system are designed to withstand
pressures 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).
Fittings are used to connect the various system components to each other. The P.O.L. fitting
at the end of the propane supply hose is made of brass so that pipe sealants are not necessary
to prevent leaking.
It also has a left-handed thread, which means that it is turned clockwise to remove, and
counter-clockwise to tighten. The P.O.L. fitting has been designed to help restrict the flow
of LP gas in the event of a regulator failure or hose malfunction.
