IMPORTANT INFORMATON REGARDING LP GAS AND GAS CONNECTIONS
WHAT IS LP GAS?
Liquied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid
propane, or simply propane, is the ammable, petro-
leum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at
moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not con-
tained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such
as a tank. LP is a liquid. As pressure is released from the
tank, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LP TANKS
•A dented or rusty liquid propane tank may be hazardous
and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier.
Do not use a liquid propane tank with a damaged valve.
• Although your liquid propane tank may appear to be
empty, gas may still be present and the tank should be
transported and stored accordingly.
• The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored
in an upright secure position. LP tanks should not be
dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures
can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the tank will become too hot to
hold by hand).
• Place dust cap on 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 Tank Requirements:
• The tank must be approximately 18¼ inches (46.35 cm)
high and 12¼ inches (31.1 cm) in diameter with a marked
20 pound (9.07 kg) LPG capacity or 47.6 pound (21.6 kg)
water capacity as stated by the manufacturer. Other tanks
may be acceptable provided they are compatible with the
grill retention means (tank scale).
• The tank used must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with the Specications for LP gas Cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).
• Tanks must be provided with a listed OPD (Overlling
Prevention Device) and a Type 1 (CGA 791) tank connec-
tion. The tank connection must be compatible with the
grill connection.
• The tank must include a collar to protect the tank valve.
• Tanks must have a D.O.T. certication (A) and a testing
date (B) that is within ve years of current use.
