LP Gas Hook Up
An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by
openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor
level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes of
ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas supply
cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of
the following manners:
1.
One side of the enclosure shall be completely
open.
2.
Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top
and bottom:
a.
At least two ventilation openings at cylinder
valve level shall be provided in the sidewall,
equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad), and
unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total
free area of not less than one square inch per
pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and
not less than a total free area of 10 square inch-
es (64.5 cm²).
b.
Ventilation openings shall be provided at floor
level and shall have a total free area of not less
than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm²/kg)
of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total
free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm²). If ven-
tilation openings at floor level are in a sidewall,
there shall be at least two openings. The bot-

Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cyl-
inder is secured in an upright position with the control
valve turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylin-
ders outdoors and out of reach of children. Do not store
cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area.

Requirements
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas
supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is
manufactured for.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an unregulated

tem by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressure in ex-
cess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
