SECTION 7-PROPANE SYSTEMS
Be sure to securely re-install DOT cylinder(s) to the recreation vehicle after they have been
removed for filling or replacement. Always close the service valve and install a dust cap
or plug when transporting or storing disconnected containers whether full or empty.
ASME tanks are permanently mounted to the RV and are commonly used on RV motor
homes.
The capacity of ASME tanks is expressed in gallons. ASME tanks are filled while the tank
is tank is attached to the motor home by a qualified propane facility. ASME tanks are
equipped with an automatic stop fill valve designed to reduce the potential of overfilling.
ASME propane tanks are also equipped with a P.O.L. service valve that is for connection
of the supply hose with a left hand threaded brass P.O.L. fitting from the tank service valve
to the two-stage regulator. Not for use on gas grills and other low pressure devices.
DOT propane cylinders must be transported and stored in an upright position so the
pressure relief device will function properly. Laying a DOT propane cylinder on its
side may potentially create a very dangerous situation.
NOTE: Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance to State
and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.
Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from the
container, it changes to vapor which is then used for the operation of the appliances.
Propane will not run through the appliances in the liquid state.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It is
imperative to leave sufficient space inside the container to allow for natural expansion of
gas during warmer weather.
The main shut off valve must be kept closed at all times unless you are using the propane
system or filling the propane cylinder. When the cylinder is disconnected from the hose,
install the valve cover that is attached to the container.
Close the propane cylinder main shut off valve by hand tightening only. Use of tools
creates a potential to over tighten the valve (damaging the interior seals on the cylinder
valve seat). If this type of damage occurs, the cylinder will not close properly.
The following label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
