Important Information about LPGas &
Gas Connections
What Is LP Gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane,
or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-
based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate
temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at
moderate pressure inside a container, such as a tank, LP is a
liquid. As pressure is released from the tank, the liquid readily
vaporizes and becomes gas.
Safe Handling Tips for LP Gas Cylinders
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need
to keep in mind when using LP gas. Carefully follow these
instructions before using your WEBER gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP cylinder.
• Although your LP cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may
still be present, and the cylinder should be transported and
stored accordingly.
• LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures
can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cylinder will become too hot
to hold by hand). For example: do not leave the LP cylinder in
a car on a hot day.
• LP cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
• The LP cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders,
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard
for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• Cylinders must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a CGA #600 cylinder connection.
The cylinder connection must be compatible with the grill
connection.
Regulator Connections
Your WEBER gas grill is equipped with a pressure regulator,
which is a device to control and maintain uniform gas
pressure as gas is released from the LP cylinder. Each WEBER
pressure regulator is designed for vapor withdrawal.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the WEBER gas grill
must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches of water
column pressure.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or
near this grill. Never fill the tank beyond 80% full.
Failure to follow these statements exactly may
result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the
connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
m CAUTION: Use cylinders that are marked "Propane"
only.
m WARNING: It may be hazardous to attempt to fit
other types of gas containers.
m IMPORTANT: We recommend that you replace the
gas hose assembly on your gas grill every five
years. Some countries may have requirements
that the gas hose be replaced within less than five
years, in which case that country’s requirement
would take precedence.
For replacement hose, regulator, and valve
assemblies, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site.

connection to a reticulated gas supply.
GETTING STARTED
Installing the LP Cylinder
Use disposable LP cylinders with a capacity of 16.4 oz./465 g
(1.02 lbs) equipped with a CGA #600 connection and marked
"propane" only.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o (
) position.
2) Push LP cylinder into regulator and turn clockwise until
tight.
Removing the LP Cylinder
If your LP cylinder needs to be replaced, follow these
instructions to remove it.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o (
) position.
2) Unscrew LP cylinder from regulator and remove it from
the grill.
Storage and/or Travel
Disconnect the cylinder if: 1) the cylinder is empty; 2) the grill
is being transported; 3) the grill is being stored in a garage or
other enclosed area; 4) the grill is not in use.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
• Do not store a disconnected LP cylinder in a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area.
• Do not store or transport a disconnected LP cylinder inside
the grill.
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is
important to follow these guidelines:
• The WEBER gas grill should be checked for gas leaks
and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used.
(Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE.”)
• Check that the areas under the cookbox and the removable
catch pan are free from debris that might obstruct the flow
of combustion or ventilation air.
• The spider/insect screen should also be checked for any
obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
