Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always use dust cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple (B) into LP
tank valve. Hand tighten coupling nut,
holding regulator in a straight line (C) with
LP tank valve so as not to cross thread the
connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to
a full solid stop. The regulator will seal on
the back-check feature in the LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance. An additional
one-half to three quarters turn is required to
complete connection. Tighten by hand
only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and repeat step 5 and 6. If you are still unable to
complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve
and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper, trailer or motorhome.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used. Replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
Turn off gas at supply cylinder when not in use.
Do not use appliance until leak checked.
If leak is detected at any time, STOP.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve, leave area of appliance, and call LP gas
supplier or your fire department!
Leak Testing Valves, Hoses and Regulator
1. Turn all control knob(s) to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tanks.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD hand wheel counter-clockwise. If you
hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the
connection. Correct before proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto indicated connections shown at right in A and B.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and
retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair. Use only
replacement parts specified by manufacturer.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing tank leak test by turning OPD hand
wheel clockwise.
Do not use a POL transport plug (A) (plastic
part with external threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
