LP Gas and Cylinder Information
Your new gas grill operates on LP (Liquid Propane) Gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when produced.
You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to rotten cabbage for your safety.
Your grill uses the newest and safest LP Gas Cylinder.
1.
A listed O.P.D. (Overfill Protection Device) must be used. This prevents
accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the tank. Each tank contains
a float that closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows
room for the LP gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand
wheel distinguishes this type of tank.
2.
Q.C.C.1 Type 1 Quick Connect Valve – provides fast tank hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by
hand. Large external threads on the outlet part of the valve distinguish this.
In addition, the LP tank you use with your grill must meet the following requirements
1.
Required Measurements: 12-1/2” (317mm) in diameter and 18-1/2” (472mm) in height.
2.
20-pound (9.1kg) propane cylinder.
3.
Constructed and marked with U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) for the US or CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, for
Canada.
4.
A safety release valve.
5.
A means for vapor withdrawal.

A collar to protect the tank valve.
