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.

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 Tanks
• A dented or rusty liquid propane tank may be hazardous and
should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Donot
use a liquid propane tank with a damaged valve.
• Although your liquid propane tank may appear to be empty,
gas may still be present, and the tank should be transported
and stored accordingly.
• The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an
upright, secure position. LP tanks should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures
can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the tank will become too hot to
hold by hand).
• 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.
LP Tank Requirements
• The tank must be approximately 18¼inches (46.35 cm) high
and 12¼ inches (31.1 cm) in diameter with a marked 20
pound (9.07 kg) LP capacity or 47.6 pound (21.6 kg) water
capacity as stated by the manufacturer. Other tanks may
be acceptable provided they are compatible with the grill
retention means (tank scale).
• The tank used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.); or the
Canadian Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/
CSA-B339, as applicable.
• Tanks must be provided with a listed OPD (Overfilling
Prevention Device) and a Type 1 (CGA 791) tank connection.
The tank connection must be compatible with the grill
connection.
• The tank must include a collar to protect the tank valve.
• Tanks must have a D.O.T. certification (A), and a testing date
(B) that is within five years of current use.

LP tank behind grill on the right-hand side.
LP Tank Position
What is a Regulator?
Your 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 tank.
Regulator Requirements
• Each WEBER pressure regulator is designed for vapor
withdrawal. Cylinder must be upright when grill is in use.
• The regulator and hose assembly supplied with this grill
must be used. This regulator has a flow limiting device built
into the unit that will restrict the flow of gas in the event that
a leak is detected.
• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be as
specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC (UL-listed Type 1
(CGA 791) tank connection device as described in the latest
edition of ANSI Z21.81).
