4. The use of the propane from the cylinder allows the OPD to reset
itself for the next fill.
5. Connects to all standard or quick-connect couplings.
6. The Overfill Protection Device affects incoming liquid propane
flow only. Does not affect normal propane gas discharge when
properly connected to the appliance regulator.
7. All propane cylinders should be filled by qualified professionals
only.
Purging
1. Due to the decreased Btu delivery, purging may take longer.
2. To increase the speed of purging, open the outage valve during
release.
3. Reminder: Each new cylinder must be purged before filling.
4. For purging instructions, refer to NPGA 133-89(a).
Btu Delivery
The OPD valve has a size 56 orifice through which the propane is
released for consumption. Depending on the propane's temperature and
pressure, the release from the cylinder is approximately 125,000 Btu/
hour.
OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE (OPD) ON 20 LB. PROPANE
CYLINDER
Attention: Consumer be advised, this gas grill must be connected
to an LP gas cylinder incorporating an OPD.
The OPD will help reduce the potential for the overfilling of the propane
cylinder, thus reducing the possibility of hydrostatic relief valve dis-
charges.
Overfill Protection Device Valve Function
1. As the cylinder is filled, the rising level of liquid propane lifts the
float to the stop position to prevent dangerous overfilling.
Does not affect the filling process or use of the cylinder.
2. At a safe filling level, the float cam triggers the pin to fall into the
recess of the cam, sealing this path off and preventing any more
liquid propane from flowing through the lower valve body into the
cylinder.
3. The propane builds up pressure in the chamber (center spring) and
pushes the piston up to form a seal, effectively stopping the filling
process.
WARNING: Inspect the fuel supply hose before each use of
the outdoor cooking gas appliance. The hose can be ac-
cessed by opening the front door on the outdoor cooking gas
appliance. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation.
Contact Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. to obtain a replace-
ment fuel supply hose. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of
the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
WARNING: Do not store a second 20 lb. propane cylinder
within the utility cart. The utility cart is designed for the use
and storage of one 20 lb. propane cylinder.

If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder.
• Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible
only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any enclosed area.
• The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the out-
door cooking gas appliance must be used. A replacement pressure
