LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
 Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
 Do not smoke during leak test.
 Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
LP tank must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from open
flames or sparks.
Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution.
Use mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to
gas train components can result.
Brush soapy solution onto all weld seams and entire valve area.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire
department.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always use dust cap and strap supplied with
valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank
valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding
regulator in a straight line (C) with LP tank valve
so as not to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a
full solid stop. The regulator will seal on the
back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three
quarters turn is required to complete connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and repeat step 5 and 6. If you are still
unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
WARNING
 Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage
the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or
death.
 Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper, trailer or
motorhome.
 The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used. Replacement
pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
WARNING
 Do not use appliance until leak checked.
 If leak is detected at any time, STOP.
 If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve, leave area of appliance, and call LP
gas supplier or your fire department!
Do not use a POL transport plug (A) (plastic
part with external threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
