GAS REQUIREMENTS
TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:
Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):
Grills 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.
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 of its safety feature, you should always turn the LP tank main valve (Fig.02) off after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on 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 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. 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) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only.
