Procedure for LP Gas Cylinder Connection (20 lbs)
The LP Gas Cylinder must be in compliance with the specifications for LP‐Gas Cylinders of the US
Department of Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA‐ B339. The basic tank
size is 12” in diameter and 18” High with a QCC‐1 cylinder valve.
1. Turn the “Hand Wheel” on cylinder clockwise until it stops to ensure the Cylinder Valve is fully
closed.
2. Turn all of the burner knobs to the OFF position.
3. Connect the 3/8” Flare end of the hose to the 3/8” Flare end of the brass coupling on the unit
using a 3/4” open wrench.
Do not apply pipe sealant. (These are flared fittings.) Note: remember
the rubber line on the hose and regulator must be protected from sharp edges, hot surfaces,
aggressive building materials that could cut, melt, or damage the line. A separate approved gas
line might be needed to go between the hose and regulator and the appliance to position the
rubber line in a safe location.
4. Connect the regulator to the LP cylinder. Only hand-tighten the regulator.
5. Check
for leaks using a soapy water solution by spraying on all connections, including all of the
valves, fittings, lines etc. (any and all gas connections have the ability leak and therefore it is
critical to check for leaks before each use)
6. To d
isconnect after you have used the appliance, turn the burner knobs to the OFF position.
7. Close the Cylinder Valve by turning the Hand Wheel counter-clockwise until it stops.
8. Disconnect the regulator from the LP cylinder after use.
