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 hand wheel clockwise to a
full
stop
.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always
use 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!

2. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a
full stop
.
3. Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise to loosen the connector. Loose by hand only

4. When disconnected, the regulator should be hung on the hook attached to the
appliance.
Do not use a POL transport plug
(A) (plastic part with external
threads)! It will defeat the safety
feature of the valve.
