LP GAS CYLINDER
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/
CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that LP gas cylinders used with LP
gas appliances be equipped with both
•
An Overfill Prevention Device (OPD)
•
A QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling system
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The O P D is designed to reduce the potential of over filling
propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve
discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower
purge/fill operation.
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
The QCC®-1 system incorporates safety features required by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the
Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
•
Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been
made
•
A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between
240° and 300° F
•
When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow
of gas to 10 cubic feet / hour
The LP gas cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill.
Be sure to use an LP gas cylinder equipped with the OPD
and the QCC® valve.
IDENTIFICATION
The QCC®-1 valve is recognized by the external threads on
the inlet port of the LP gas cylinder valve.
The OPD hand wheel has been standardized to the shape
shown.
QCC® /OPD equipped LP gas cylinders are available from
your Gas Grill Dealer.
NOTE: Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of
adapters or any other means, to any other valve could
result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the
important safety features in the QCC®-1 system.
