LP Tank Leak Test
For your Safety
WARNING
Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated
area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or
electrical appliances. During leak test, keep appliance away
from open flames or sparks.
• Leak test must be repeated each
time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to
check for gas leaks.
Use a clean paintbrush and
50/50 soap and water solution.
Use mild soap and water. Do not
use household cleaning agents.
Damage to gas train components
can result. Brush soapy solution
onto all weld seams and entire
valve area.
WARNING
If "growing" bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP
tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department.

3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the
right side or the front of the grill, and so that the hose is not
kinked or damaged.
4. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when
cylinder is at rest in tank holder.
5. Remove the protective cap from
LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads). It will defeat the safety
feature of the valve.
6. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B)
into LP tank valve. Hand tighten
coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line (C) with LP
tank valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
(B) Nipple has to be centered

into the LP tank valve
regulator as shown for proper
connection to LP tank valve
7. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid
stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in LP
tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-
half to three quarters turn is required to complete
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 6 and 7. If you are still unable to complete
the connection, do not use this regulator!
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You
may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane
may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained
LP gas system of a camper or trailer or motor home.
