Propane Cylinder Specifications
WARNING!
occur.
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifica-
tions for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). This appliance has been de-
signed for use with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) or 30 lb (13.6 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for
outdoor gas appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a pro-
pane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space
of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection
device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80
percent 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 that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this patio heater. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. Do not store a spare propane cylinder
on the shelf beneath the heater.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water column to the patio heater and has a QCC1 type fit-
ting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has
a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also
equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the heater, the valve must be in the off
position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
