Liquid Propane (LP)
Requirements
The 20 lb LP gas supply cylinder used with LP models must be con-
structed and marked in accordance with the specications for LP-gas
cylinders as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the CAN/CSA B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transpor-
tation of Dangerous Goods.
Manifold Pressure: For plumbed-in LP installation, use a regulator.
Supply Pressure: Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is
14” W.C psi (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for propane is 11” W.C.
Pressure Regulator: The unit must be used with the gas pressure
regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a uniform gas pres-
sure in the manifold. The burner orice has been sized for the gas
pressure delivered by the regulator.
Cylinder Specication: Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this
repit or replace must be approximately 12 inches in diameter and
18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or
5 gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7
lbs. nominal water capacity.) Always use the cylinder dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not
connected to the repit or replace.
Transporting Gas Cylinder: Only one cylinder should be transport-
ed at a time. Transport cylinder in an upright and secure manner with
control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.
Enclosures: Ensure cylinder valves are always readily accessible. A
door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder valve is accept-
able, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of
tools.
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recom-
mended specications and follow local codes.
Enclosures for LP gas supply cylinders need to be ventilated by open-
ings at the level of the cylinder valve and at oor level. This is accom-
plished by:
1) Having one side of the enclosure shall be completely open,
Or, for an enclosure with four sides, a top and bottom:
