Contained LP Gas Cylinders
For Built
-
In grill applications designed for use with an LP gas cylinder, the cylinder en-
closure within your cabinet or island must be constructed in accordance with the follow-
ing guideline restrictions:
Location: The access opening into the cylinder enclosure within your cabinet or island
must be located directly below the grill. This will allow you to remove the cylinder from
the enclosure (if necessary) without disconnecting the gas hose. The access opening
for the cylinder should be on the center line of the grill. Inside the enclosure, the cylin-
der can be mounted at the center of the grill, or the center line of the cylinder can be
adjusted
14”
to the right or left of center. The countertop surface onto which the grill will
be mounted should be at least
35”
high so that the gas hose will not touch the floor or
ground when it is not connected to the LP cylinder. Otherwise, your gas hose will not
be long enough to allow you to remove the cylinder while it is still connected to your
grill.
Dimensions: The enclosure must be a minimum of
20”
wide and
20”
deep and should
be at least
35”
high in order to accommodate a 20 lb. LP cylinder and allow access to
the cylinder valve.
Floor Height: There must be a minimum clearance of
2”
and a maximum of
5”
between
the floor of the cylinder enclosure and the ground.
Door Opening: The door opening of the enclosure must be a minimum of
15”
wide and
20”
tall to accommodate a 20 lb. LP cylinder. If a door is installed, it must be ventilating
and capable of being opened without the use of tools.
Ventilation: For your safety: All enclosures for LP gas cylinders must have ventilation
holes to prevent gas build
-
up in the event of a leak. To properly ventilate a built

in en-
closure for an LP cylinder.
1.
Leave one side of the cylinder enclosure completely open. The side left open must
be directly exposed to the outside air.
2.
Provide at least two unobstructed ventilation openings (upper and lower) in an exte-
rior side of the cylinder enclosure to achieve direct ventilation to the outside air. Im-
portant: Openings cannot vent into other enclosed areas within the island or cabinet.
The upper vent openings must be located within 5 inches of the top of the enclosure
and shall have a total free area of not less than 1 in
2
/lb. of stored fuel capacity. The
lowest vent opening(s) must be located within 1 inch of the floor of the cylinder en-
closure but can extend no higher than 5 inches above the floor. This opening must
have a total free area of not less than 1/2 in
2
/lb. of stored fuel capacity.
3.
Every opening shall have a minimum dimension so as to permit the entrance of a
1/8" (3.2mm) rod.
4.
It should be noted that the above minimum ventilation is for the purpose of not al-
lowing excessive propane gas to accumulate in the event of a leak. The enclosure
