When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder: a 510 POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regula- tor.

that will not permit gas to flow until an evacuation device is installed. To purge the L.P. gas cylinder, the back-check module must be opened with an evacuation device.

FILLING AND PURGING

TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS

DANGER: Purging and filling of L.P. gas cyl- inders must be performed by personnel who have been thoroughly trained in accepted L.P. gas industry procedures. Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT: Purge new cylinders before filling. This tank is easily filled with a standard CGA 510 POL filling connection.

PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES FOR L.P. GAS CYLINDER WITH TYPE 1 CYLINDER VALVES

A.Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purg- ing can be accomplished using a hose- end valve containing a bleed port, which also allows for evacuation without the use of an adapter.

B.Hose-end valve without a bleed port: When a hose-end valve does not have a bleed port, a separate device must be used for evacuation.

C.Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P. gas cylinder evacuation can be accom- plished during each purging by using a Type 1 connection. The Type 1 valve out- let has 1-5/16” external ACME right-hand thread that will accept this connection.

CAUTION: After purging or filling an L.P. gas cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into the valve outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent the back-check from closing. Use ONLY the provided cap and strap attached to the outlet. Close the cylinder valve knob before returning the cylinder to the customer.

For proper purging procedures in the USA, refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA#133, “Purging L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling Cylinders.”

DANGER: Do not fill an L.P. gas cylinder beyond 80% full. If this information is not fol- lowed exactly, a fire causing serious injury or death may occur.
