CONNECTING THE LP CYLINDER
ALL NEW LP CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE
THE FIRST FILLING.
Purging and filling of LP cylinders must
be performed by personnel who have
been thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas industry
procedures. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in ex plosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
- To connect hose and regulator assembly, rotate fitting on
hose/regulator COUNTERCLOCKWISE into threads on tank
valve (see Figure 5). Be sure to tighten firmly. Important: Be
sure to position the regulator so that the regulator is horizontal,
also as shown in Figure 5.
- To connect to heater inlet, rotate clockwise and tighten firmly
with a wrench
NOTE:
Once the gas connection has been made, air may be
trapped in the gas line. Before lighting the heater it will be neces-
sary to purge any air trapped in the line. Once this is done the
heater will light and operate normally. Purging the gas line will be
necessary every time the gas cylinder is replaced.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
- To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution of dish soap and
water. Apply this solution to all gas connections. If bubbles
appear, there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas sup-
ply, and re-connect the leaking connection. If the leak persists
after several tries, contact Pinnacle Customer Service at 215-
891-8460.
- The installation of this heater must meet all local codes and/or
gas utility requirements. In the absence of local codes, the
National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed.
- The minimum clearances to any combustible construction
materials must be maintained at all times (See Page 3).
