CAUTION!
• Make sure cylinder valve is in its full off position. (Turn clockwise to stop).
• Check cylinder valve features to ensure it has proper external mating threads. (Cylinder Valve Marked:
USE WITH TYPE 1)
• Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged
equipment. See your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.
• When connecting regulator assembly to the cylinder valve, hand tighten black QCC1 nut clockwise
to a positive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the quick closing
coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
• Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be
subject to accidental damage.
• Open cylinder valve fully (counter-clockwise). Turn the on/off valve at the unit slowly to the on
position and use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks as indicated in the diagrams
before attempting to light the appliance. If a leak is found, turn tank valve off and do not use the
appliance until repairs can be made.
Enclosures For LP (Propane) Gas Supply Systems
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recommended specifications. You must also
follow local codes.
• An enclosure for an LP-gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at both the upper and lower levels
of the enclosure.
This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open;
OR
For an enclosure having four sides, a top, and a bottom:
a) At least two ventilation openings shall be provided in the sidewalls of the enclosure, located within
5 in (127 mm) of the top of the enclosure, equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees (1.57 rad),
and unobstructed. The opening(s) shall have a total free area of not less than 1 in
2
per lb (14.2 cm
2
/ kg)
of stored fuel capacity.
b) Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level of the enclosure and shall have a total free area of
not less than 1/2 in
2
per lb (7.1 cm
2
/ kg) of stored fuel capacity. If ventilation openings at floor level are in
a side wall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be 1 in (25.4 mm) or less
from the floor level and the upper edge no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level. The openings
shall be equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees (1.57 rad), and unobstructed.
c) Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm)
diameter rod.
Ventilation openings in sidewalls shall not communicate directly with other enclosures of the
appliance.
Cylinder valves shall be readily accessible for hand operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the
cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools. Designs
using a cover to gain access to the cylinder and cylinder valve shall be provided with handles or equivalent at a
minimum of 180 degrees apart to facilitate lifting of the cover.
There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50.8mm) between the lower surface of the floor of the LP
gas supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.
The design of the enclosure shall be such that (1) the LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected,
disconnected and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and (2) those
connections which could be disturbed when installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested
inside the enclosure.
