Cylinder Specifications
Any refillable L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be
approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum
fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane.
The maximum weight of a properly filled cylinder will be approximately
38 pounds (47.7 lbs. nominal water capacity).
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1
L.P. gas cylinder valve outlet (see item [F], Fig. 1).
• A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-
check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal has
been obtained.
• The cylinder must be arranged in an upright position for vapor
withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A
safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of
cylinder must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the
cylinder is over filled or overheated which could result in fire or
explosion.

L.P. Gas Cylinder
Fig. 2
Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly
flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a
cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and
tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking
connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the
section titled “LEAK TESTING”).
Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised
of a valve [A], a hose [B], a regulator [C] with vent hole [G], an L.P. gas
supply cylinder [D], a Type 1 coupling nut [E] and a Type 1 cylinder valve
[F], (Fig. 1).
