The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
Place the 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 valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LP Gas Hook Up
An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the LP- gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of the following manners:
1.One side of the enclosure shall be completely open.
2.Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom:
a.At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm²).
b.Ventilation openings shall be provided at floor level and shall have a total free area of not less than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm²). If ventilation openings at floor level are in a sidewall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at floor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the floor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad) and unobstructed.
c.Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter rod.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cylinder is secured in an upright position with the control valve turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylinders outdoors and out of reach of children. Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
