When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection between the propane supply cylinder(s) and
the heater must be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from the heater and
stored in accordance with the Standard for the Storage and
Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.
7.1.
LP models only – Regulator and hose assembly instructions
7.1.1. Attach the POL fitting on the regulator to the LP gas tank / cylinder as
shown in Figure 2 ”Regulator and hose assembly” on page 6. Use a wrench to tighten the connection.
Note: This fitting has left hand threads (like a gas barbecue and tank). Screw the POL fitting counter
clockwise
.
CAUTION: DO NOT try to overtighten this connection. Overtightening may damage the “Excess
flow control safety device” in the POL fitting regulator.
7.1.2. Remove the plastic cap from the end of the 3/8” flare fitting. Connect the 3.8” flare swivel nut
on the end of the regulator/hose assembly to the 3/8” flare tube fitting on the
burner assembly, as shown in Figure 2 ”Regulator and hose assembly” on page
9. Use two wrenches to tighten this connection, screwing
the swivel nut clockwise onto the supported 3/8” flare fitting.
7.1.3. After all the connections are made, they must be checked for leaks prior to operation. The following
instructions describe the leak checking procedure.
i.
Make sure the control knob on the heater is turned to “OFF” prior to opening the valve on the
LP tank/cylinder.
ii. Open the tank/cylinder valve fully (turn tank knob counterclockwise). Apply a rich soap and water solution
to the POL fitting into the tank/cylinder as well as the 3/8” flare swivel fitting at the heater.
Bubbles indicate leaks which must be fixed before the heater is operated.
iii. Tighten the joints to stop any leaks. Repeat steps i. and ii. after any tightening.
If you are unable to stop the leaks, DO NOT operate the heater. Contact your local LP dealer.
