Type 1 Connective Coupling - Ducane 04 Series Owner's Manual

Type 1 Connective Coupling

All Ducane liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a
UL-listed tank connection as per section 1.5.5 of the latest edition of
ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane tank that is similarly
equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve
This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe
hookup between your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It
eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is not properly
tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling
is fully engaged into the coupling.

WARNING: The Type 1 connective coupling (See Fig. 11)
supplied with your grill must not be replaced with a different
type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss
of warranty and, if improperly done, will result in gas leakage,
fire and severe bodily harm.
The propane cylinder valve connection provided with this grill
incorporates the three important safeguards listed below.
Hand Assembly
1. Make sure the cylinder valve and all appliance valves are in their
"OFF" positions.
2. When connecting regulator/burner valve assembly to cylinder valve,
turn large plastic nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not flow unless plastic nut is fully engaged.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

Checking Gas
Leaks
Before operating your grill
and after refueling, check
carefully to be certain that all
connections are tight and there
are no gas leaks. The easiest
way to do this is to mix up a little
soapy water, like you would for
washing dishes. Turn on the gas
and brush a little of the mixture
around fittings. If new bubbles
form, you have a leak!
