LP GAS CYLINDER
QCC
®
-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
The QCC
®
-1 system incorporates new safety features
required by the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
* Gas will not
fl
ow until a positive connection
has been made.
* A thermal element will shut off the
fl
ow of gas
between 240° and 300° F.
* When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will
limit
the
fl
ow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be
sure to purchase one with the QCC
®
valve. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the
valve. QCC
®
equipped cylinders are available from your
Gas Grill Dealer.
Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of adapters
or any other means, to any other valve could result in
damage,
fi
re or injury and may negate the important safety
features designed into the QCC
®
-1 system.
