Plastic Hose Installation

IMPORTANT: If you are using a plastic hose, make sure it can
withstand temperatures above 120°C (248°F) and is approved
by local regulations. The hose must be resistant to abrasion and
chemicals. Check the hose expiration date before installation,
it must be replaced before it. The hose must not stay in contact
with the back part of the product and must not be exposed to
sunlight. The maximum length of the hose is 1.25 m (4.1 ft).
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with propane
gas to the plastic hose adapter following its manufacturer
instructions.
2. Attach the adapter on the pressure regulator, tightening it
and being certain not to move or turn the gas pressure
regulator.

clamp) to tighten the metal clamp and fix the hose on the
gas connection.
5. Attach a metal clamp to the other edge of the hose and
connect this edge to the pressure regulator of your gas
cylinder. Tighten the metal clamp with the flat blade
screwdriver (or other tool that fits your metal clamp).
6. Make sure the gas valve is closed before connecting it to the
gas cylinder.
7. Make sure the hose is not folded or too close to heating
sources. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
