the appliance rating label agrees with that of the supply.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe
sealant on flare fittings. The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Natural Gas and

A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed. Do not
store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other
building. Never leave a LP tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.
The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be
provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated which could result
in fire or explosion.
