Important Information about
LP Gas & Gas Connections
What is LPG?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG or LP gas, is
the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel
your barbecue. It is a gas at moderate temperatures
and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate
pressure inside a container, such as a cylinder, LPG is
a liquid. As pressure is released from the cylinder, the
liquid readily vaporises and becomes gas.
Safe Handling Tips for LPG Cylinders
• A dented or rusty LPG cylinder may be hazardous and
should be checked by your LP gas supplier. Do not use
a cylinder with a damaged valve.
• Although your LPG cylinder may appear to be empty,
gas may still be present, and the cylinder should be
transported and stored accordingly.
• The LPG cylinder must be installed, transported, and
stored in an upright, secure position. Cylinders should
not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LPG cylinder where
temperatures can reach 50°C (125°F) (the cylinder will
become too hot to hold by hand).
LPG Cylinder Requirements
• Use cylinders with a minimum capacity of 3 kg and
a maximum capacity of 13 kg.
What is a Regulator?
Your gas barbecue is equipped with a pressure
regulator, which is a device to control and maintain
uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the
LPG cylinder.
Regulator and Hose Requirements
• In the United Kingdom, this barbecue must be fitted
with a regulator complying with BS 3016, having a
nominal output of 37 millibars.
• The length of the hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be
as specified by Weber-Stephen Products LLC.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you replace
m
the gas hose assembly on your gas barbecue
every five years. Some countries may have
requirements that the gas hose be replaced
within less than five years, in which case that
country's requirement would take precedence.
For replacement hose, regulator, and valve
assemblies, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site.
