GAS HOOK-UP'S AND WARNINGS
What is liquid petroleum (LP) gas?
•
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP gas, liquid propane or propane is non-toxic, odorless and
colorless when produced. For your safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so
that it can be detected.
•
LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP gas cylinder valve must have:
•
Shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve output
as specified in current standards. ANSI Z21.58-2018 / CSA 1.6-2018 Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances.
•
Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill. The type 1 valve is easily recognized by the large external
thread on the outside of the valve.
•
Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapor space of the cylinder.
•
UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature
is identified by a unique triangular
hand wheel.
•
Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.
•
A device for vapor withdrawal.
•
A collar to protect the LP gas cylinder shut-off valve.
•
A ring on the bottom of the LP gas cylinder to secure it to the
support assembly.
•
Place dust cap on 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.
ATTENTION
Any attempt to connect a regulator to any connectors other than the mating TYPE -1 connector
could result in fires, explosions, injuries, or property damage. Use only LP gas cylinders
equipped with this type of valve.
DO NOT connect to a LP gas cylinder exceeding 9 kg capacity or use a cylinder with any other
type of cylinder valve connection device. Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling
nut for tightness.
LP GAS CYLINDER RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
Cylinder Rubber Seal Inspection
•
Inspect LP gas cylinder valve rubber seal for
cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A
damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak,
possibly resulting in an explosion, fire or
severe bodily harm.
•
Inspection should be done each time LP
gas cylinder is connected to grill, has been
refilled, exchanged or has not been used for
more than 60 days.
•
Do not use a LP gas cylinder with a damaged
rubber seal. Exchange LP gas cylinder or
have rubber seal replaced at a qualified
propane filling station.
