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
disconnected 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 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) 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 regu-
lator.
