INSTALLATION

GAS HOOK-UP

LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):

All outdoor appliances orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.

Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are

included. Operating pressure: 11.0” W.C.

CAUTION!

Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all burners are in the “OFF” position and the lid has been re- moved.

To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 23) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the cou- pler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on, push and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:

A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
