Propane Cylinder Specifications
WARNING!
If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications
for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). This appliance has been designed for
use with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection
for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in
a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor
space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder
shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection
device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80 percent full.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. Do not store a spare propane cylinder
on the shelf beneath the barbecue.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type fitting.
Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a
positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also
equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the grill, the valves must be in the off
position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
