Connection:
The Type I (Q.C.C.1) cylinder valve is recognizable by the large external thread on
the outlet part of the valve. Standard valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to
fit the regulator(s) with anything other than the mating Type I (Q.C.C.1) connector, (recognized
by the large plastic features designed into the Type I (Q.C.C.1) system. Fitting a standard #510
P.O.L connector, will not provide the flow control or temperature shut-off safety features built
into the complete Type I (Q.C.C.1) system. This regulator is equipped with the Type I (Q.C.C.1),
quick closing connection system, which incorporates the following features:
• Will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made.
• Has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to temperatures
between 115° and 150°C (240° & 300°F).
• Has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet
per hour (25000 BTUs). It activates each time you open the cylinder valve, so be sure the
appliance is turned OFF before you open the valve. If the appliance is not turned OFF when
you open the valve, the Flow Limiting Device will not be able to reset and will restrict gas
flow to the appliance.
