PLUMBING
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing
downward. Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a
protective cover. Make sure that regulator vent faces downward and that cover
is kept in place to minimize vent blockage that could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire or explosion.
The regulator at the L.P. tank is under a gray plastic cover. The protective cover cer-
tainly helps to keep the vent on the regulator from being clogged by wasps or ice, but
should still be checked regularly to make sure the vent remains clear.
WARNING: Do not attempt to seal regulator cover.
WARNING: Check vent each time tank is filled to make sure it is clear
of obstructions.
Gas Regulator Removal/Replacement
1. Shut off main gas supply at the tank.
2. Remove the plastic protective cover from the regulator assembly
3. Using two wrenches, one to hold the line fitting and one to turn the flare nut,
disconnect the regulator from the flexible rubber line.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the tank fitting. Remove regulator.
5. To replace, reverse the removal procedures.
