LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) SPECIFICATIONS:
LP gas cylinder (not supplied with this grill)
The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this grill must be
12" (30.5 cm) diameter x 18" (45.7 cm) tall and have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1
cylinder valve and an over-filling protection device (OPD).
This grill is designed to fit Worthington, Manchester or SMPC brand 20 lb. (9.1 kg) cylinders. Other brand
DOT cylinders may fit this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top and bottom rings.
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:
All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:
•
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54
•
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1
•
Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)
•
Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)
To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not
intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line. If an external electrical source is utilized, it must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1.
When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation
of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed over-filling prevention
device (OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor
cooking appliances.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
•
A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.
•
A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.
•
An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
•
A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
•
A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
•
A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK):
•
Allow only qualified licensed LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
•
New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
•
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
•
Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
•
If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, the new cylinder must have
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
•
Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A
damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire or severe
bodily harm.
