LP/PROPAN E TAN K CON NECTION
Outdoor grills orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector. Hose assembly must
comply with Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA-8.1 standard
or the Theromp/astic Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas CAN 1-8.3 standard. (See
LP/Propane tank requirements below). Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Operating Pressure: 10.0" W.C.R
To connect to LP/Propane regulator/hose assembly:
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the quick disconnect system is disconnected as part of its safety feature,
you should always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve "OFF" after each use and during transport of the tank or
unit. First connect the regulator to the grill unit by screwing the 3/8" flare coupling to the 3/8" flare adapter.
Connect to the tank valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve
and check the connection between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water
solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection. Repeat until all leaks have been stopped. ALWAYS CHECK
FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK CHANGE. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and
be resistive to the actions of LP/Propane gas

position for proper ventilation. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP/Propane gas
supply cylinder valve outlet specified. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and provided
with a listed overfilling prevention device. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and
removed from the appliance. Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve.
Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-vented area
