Remote LP Tank System Enclosure Requirements - If Applicable
Securing the LP tank:
1. Fasten the L-bracket to the bottom of the
propane tank using the nut and bolt
(supplied). Ensure the nut is tight and will
not loosen.
2. Select the location for the propane tank
following the guidelines above, Figure 6.2.
3. Screw the bracket to the mounting
surface. For concrete surface, use a
concrete anchor (not supplied).
Ensure that screw is tight so that the
cylinder cannot move.
Connecting the Cylinder:
1. Ensure the gas regulator has no
kinks and is smooth.
2. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel
valve.
3. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple
onto the QCC1 fuel valve and tighten
until snug. Do not use tools.
4. Perform a leak test on all joints prior to
using the gas appliance. A leak test must
be performed annually and each time a
cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the
gas system is replaced.
5. Follow the instructions for natural gas
hook-up if the appliance is to be
connected directly to a house propane
gas supply line.
