L.P. Tank Requirements
A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and
should be checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. The L.P. gas cylinder
must be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for L.P. 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.
The cylinder must be provided with a shut valve
terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder valve
outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type
QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder
valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must include a collar
to protect the cylinder valve.
Manifold pressure: (operating): 10” water column
(W.C.), (non-operating): 11.2” water column (W.C.).
L.P. GAS HOOK-UP:
Ensure that the black plastic grommets on the LP
cylinder valve are in place and that the hose does not
come into contact with the grease tray or the grill
head.
CONNECTION:
Your 720-0230 (Charmglow) grill is equipped with
gas supply orifices for use only with propane gas. It is
also equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator
assembly for connection to a standard 20lb. L.P.
cylinder (18-1/4” high, 12-1/4” diameter).
To connect the L.P. gas supply cylinder, please follow
the steps below:
1. Make sure tank valve is in its full off position
(turn clockwise to stop)
2. Check tank valve to assure it has proper external
male threads (type 1 connection per ANSIZ21.81)
3. Make sure all burner valves are in their off
position.
4. Inspect
valve
connections, port, and regulator
assembly. Look for any damage or debris.
Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage.
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed
equipment. See your local L.P. gas dealer for
repair.
5. When connecting regulator assembly to the valve,
hand tighten the nut clockwise to a complete stop.
Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench
may damage the quick coupling nut and result in
a hazardous condition.
6. Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use
a soapy water solution to check all connections
for leaks before attempting to light the grill, see
below. If a leak is found, turn the tank valve off
and do not use the grill until a local L.P. gas
dealer can make repairs.
To disconnect L.P. gas cylinder:
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to
stop).
3.
Detach the regulator assembly from the tank
valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested
at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site due to
possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks following the
procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire system
for leaks.
