Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to a
full stop
.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always use dust cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank valve.
Hand tighten coupling nut, holding regulator in a
straight line (C) with LP tank valve so as not to cross
thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid
stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature
in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An
additional one-half to three quarters turn is required to complete connection. Tighten by hand only
– do not use
tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and repeat step 5 and 6. If you are still unable to
complete the connection,
do not use this regulator!
WARNING
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve
and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper, trailer or motorhome.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used. Replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not use appliance until leak checked.
If leak is detected at any time, STOP.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve, leave area of appliance, and call LP gas
supplier or your fire department!
Leak Testing Valves, Hoses and Regulator
1. Turn all control knob(s) to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tanks.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD hand wheel counterclockwise. If you hear
a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.
Correct before proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto indicated connections shown at right in A and B.
5.
If ‘growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and
retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair. Call for
replacement parts. Order new parts by giving the serial number, model number and
name of items needed to the Customer Service Center at
(888) 837-1380
or email at
. Use only replacement parts specified by manufacturer.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing tank leak test by turning OPD hand wheel
clockwise.
Do not use a POL transport plug (A) (plastic
part with external threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
