LP GAS CYLINDER
4
QCC
®
-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
1. All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder
equipped with the QCC
®
-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
2. The QCC
®
-1 system incorporates new safety features required
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between 240° and
300° F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow of gas
to 10 cubic feet per hour.
3. The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be
sure to purchase one with the QCC
®
valve. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the valve.
QCC
®
equipped cylinders are available from your Gas Grill
Dealer.
NOTE: Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of adapters
or any other means, to any other valve could result in damage,
fire or injury and may negate the important safety features
designed into the QCC
®
-1 system.
