Lp Gas - Cal Flame 2008 Owner's Manual

LP Gas

Tank Requirements
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a
convertible regulator and set it for LP
gas.
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in
propane is 14" WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum
line pressure for propane is 11" WC.
The grill unit must be used with the
gas pressure regulator. The regulator
will control and maintain a uniform gas
pressure in the manifold. The burner
orifices have been sized for the gas pressure delivered
by the regulator.
WARNING: Attempting to operate the grill unit without
the gas regulator installed could cause an explosion and
possible death.
Cylinder Specification
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be:
• Constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable.
• Approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 inches
high.
The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5
gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately
38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill the
cylinder beyond 80% full.
Place the dust cap on the 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 Gas Hook Up
An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by
openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor
level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes of
ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas supply
cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of
the following manners:
1. One side of the enclosure shall be completely
open.

valve level shall be provided in the sidewall,
equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad), and
unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total
free area of not less than one square inch per
pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and
not less than a total free area of 10 square
inches (64.5 cm²).
b. Ventilation openings shall be provided at floor
level and shall have a total free area of not
less than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm²/
kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a
total free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm²).
If ventilation openings at floor level are in a
sidewall, there shall be at least two openings.
The bottom of the openings shall be at floor
level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches
(127 mm) above the floor. The openings shall
be equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad) and
unobstructed.
c. Every opening shall have minimum dimensions
so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2
mm) diameter rod.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cylinder
is secured in an upright position with the control valve
turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylinders
outdoors and out of reach of children. Do not store
cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area.
