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:
Overfill Prevention Device (OPD)
•
•
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling System
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.
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The OPD 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.
IDENTIFICATION
To identity an OPD equipped cylinder look for a hand wheel with the
standardized shape as shown below.
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
IDENTIFICATION
The QCC®-1 valve is recognized by the external threads on the inlet port
of the LP gas cylinder valve.
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.
SPECIFICATION
1.
All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP gas cylinders of
the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes
for Transportation of Dangerous Goods ; and Commission, as
applicable.
2.
The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not have a capacity
exceeding 20 lb. (9 kg). Approximately 18" (46cm) high and 12"
(31cm) diameter.
3.
All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be inspected at
every filling and re qualified by a licensed service outlet at the expiry
date (10 years), in accordance with the DOT (USA) and Canadian
Transport Commission (Canada) codes for LP Gas Cylinders.
4.
All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be provided with a
shutoff valve terminating in a cylinder valve outlet No. 510, specified
in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet
Connection (USA) ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977 (Canada) CSA B96.
5.
The LP gas cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
6.
The LP gas cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
7.
The LP gas cylinder must be installed as per assembly instructions.
8.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80% full. A fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
9.
The LP gas cylinder valve must include a safety relief device having
direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
HANDLING
1.
Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas cylinders. You
must take your new cylinder to a LP gas dealer for filling.
2.
A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always handle
carefully and transport in the upright position. Protect the valve from
accidental damage.
3.
Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the regulator.
Fasten the LP gas cylinder securely during transport, use and
storage.
4.
If the LP gas cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator,
shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and have it checked before
using it again.
STORAGE
1.
Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
2.
Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near a source of
heat or combustion.
3.
Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder in an enclosure. Disconnected
cylinders must have a dust cap installed and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any enclosed area.
4.
Keep out of the reach of children.
5.
When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the gas grill
and LP gas cylinder must be operated outside in a properly ventilated
place.
OPERATION
1.
Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder without the
regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN UNREGULATED LP GAS
SUPPLY. The regulator supplied with the barbecue must be used.
2.
Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection when
connecting the LP gas cylinder to the appliance. See "Leak Testing"
(pg 5).
3.
Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish
all flame and determine source of LP gas leak before proceeding. Do
not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak has been found and
sealed.
4.
Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in
use.
