LP GAS CYLINDER
3
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/
CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that LP gas cylinders used with LP gas
appliances be equipped with both
• An Overfill Prevention Device (OPD)
• A QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling system
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential of over filling propane
cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of
raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation.
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
The QCC®-1 system incorporates safety features required by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA).
•
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 / hour
The LP gas cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill.
Be sure to use an LP gas cylinder equipped with the OPD and the
QCC® valve.
IDENTIFICATION
The QCC®-1 valve is recognized by the external threads on the inlet
port of the LP gas cylinder valve.
The OPD hand wheel has been standardized to the shape shown.
QCC® /OPD equipped LP gas 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 in
the QCC®-1 system.
