L.P. GAS CYLINDER
Gas cylinders manufactured today have
mechanisms to provide worry free
grilling year round:
Q.C.C.1 or Type 1-Quick Connect
Coupling Valve, ensure fast tank
hook-ups requiring only hand
tightening. The redundant
valve system inhibits the flow
of gas to the burner if the
connection is not correct.
O.P.D. or Overfill Protection
Device prevents accidental
gas leaks caused by cylinder
'over-pressurization', the
leading cause of cylinder gas
leaks. The float in the tank
will automatically stop filling at
80% capacity, leaving a
20% area for the expansion
of liquid. Without this safety
feature, the relief valve may
open and discharge propane,
creating a potential safety hazard. An O.P.D. cylinder is easily
distinguished by its triangular hand wheel valve. (Figure 3)
