Take These Instructions to the L.P. Gas Dealer
When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the
exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder: a
510 POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regula-
tor.
FILLING AND PURGING
TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
DANGER: Purging and filling of L.P. gas cyl-
inders must be performed by personnel who
have been thoroughly trained in accepted
L.P. gas industry procedures. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in explosion, fire,
severe personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Purge new cylinders before
filling. This tank is easily filled with a standard
CGA 510 POL filling connection.
that will not permit gas to flow until an
evacuation device is installed. To purge the
L.P. gas cylinder, the back-check module
must be opened with an evacuation device.
PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES
FOR L.P. GAS CYLINDER WITH TYPE 1
CYLINDER VALVES
A. Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purg-
ing can be accomplished using a hose-
end valve containing a bleed port, which
also allows for evacuation without the
use of an adapter.
B. Hose-end valve without a bleed port:
When a hose-end valve does not have a
bleed port, a separate device must be
used for evacuation.
C. Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P.
gas cylinder evacuation can be accom-
plished during each purging by using a
Type 1 connection. The Type 1 valve out-
let has 1-5/16” external ACME right-hand
thread that will accept this connection.
CAUTION: After purging or filling an L.P.
gas cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into
the valve outlet. Insertion of this plug will
prevent the back-check from closing. Use
ONLY the provided cap and strap attached
to the outlet. Close the cylinder valve knob
before returning the cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures in the USA,
refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA#133, “Purging
L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin
NPGA#130, “Recommended Procedures for
Filling Cylinders.”
DANGER: Do not fill an L.P. gas cylinder
beyond 80% full. If this information is not fol-
lowed exactly, a fire causing serious injury or
death may occur.
