Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks

Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting valve that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden change in pressure. This can often activate without your knowledge. You will notice among other things that your grill does not get as hot as it should, will take longer to heat up, or you may not be able to light all burners. If you notice any of the above, then you should reset the valve and clear your gas line.

To do this

1.Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFR

2.Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank.

3.Open all burner control knobs including the side burner to Hi at the same time.

4.Close all burner control knobs to OFR

5.Let the LP gas tank stand for at least 10 minutes.

6.Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas tank.

7.Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn on the LP gas valve.

8.Follow the burner lighting procedures to light the burner farthest away from the gas source.

9.The flow limiting valve should now be reset.

This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty connection of the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off before turning the burner control knobs to off. Note: always turn off your burners using the burner control knobs first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.

Transportation and Storage

1.Place a dust cap on the 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 of propane valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage.

2.Always transport your cylinder in an upright position.

3.Do not smoke when transporting your cylinder.

Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use, at the beginning of each season or every time your LP Gas tank is changed you must check for gas leaks. Follow these three steps:

Hake a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water

Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position. Then turn the gas ON at the source.

Apply the soap solution to all gas connections indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If bubbles appear in the soap solution the connections are not properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
