LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):
Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lb.LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and
fittings are included. Operating pressure:10.0" W.C.
To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on
the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is discon-
nected as part of of its safety feature,you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig.02) after each
use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the
black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main
tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI”position for about 20 seconds to
allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the
burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn
counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage, remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has
not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper
equipment to fill your tank.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the
regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose
assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve
terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the
appliance is stored indoors,the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
NOTE:When an LP unit is directly attached into an LP house system,the step down regulator MUST be
used to reduce the supply pressure to a max.14”W.C.and min. 11”W.C.to the grill regulator.
