QCC1 COUPLER

gas tanks to the propane gas regulator.
· It has a right-hand thread.
· Turn it to the right to tighten, turn left to loosen.
· The mating surfaces are brass and do not require any
type of pipe sealant.
· If it ever leaks or cannot be reasonably tightened
without excessive force, replace the complete hose
assembly and/or have the tank valve checked and
serviced.
· The QCC1 coupler contains an excess ow control to
help restrict gas ow if the hose is cut or the regulator
is broken.
· It is not designed to detect a leak or totally shut off the
system if a leak or regulator failure occurs.
· The excess ow control can inadvertently restrict gas
ow to the appliances. To reduce or eliminate this
problem, try the following whenever restricted gas
ow is evident:
Be sure all appliances (including pilot lights, if1.
equipped) are off and no gas is owing in the
system.
Be sure the system is leak free. Test the ttings as 2.
outlined later in this section.
Open the gas tank valve slowly. DO NOT SNAP3.
IT OPEN. The sudden pressure uctuation could
confuse the excess ow control into thinking that
the system was damaged.
Wait at least 15 seconds before lighting any pilot4.
or appliance.
This procedure will allow the excess ow control to settle
and supply a normal ow of gas.
PROPANE GAS REGULATOR
The regulator is the heart of the PROPANE gas system. It
works continuously and requires more care and attention
than any other part of the system.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
THE REGULATOR. IT HAS BEEN PRESET BY
THE REGULATOR MANUFACTURER. IF ANY
ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE MADE
BY A QUALIFIED LPG SERVICE TECHNICIAN
USING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
LIGHTING PROPANE GAS APPLIANCES
Detailed operating information, for propane appliances,
can be found in the Owner’s Information Package. Please
read and follow these instructions.
Air trapped in the gas lines may delay initial lighting of
any appliance. Several seconds or minutes may pass for
the gas to reach the appliance. To purge some of the air
from the gas system, rst light a burner on the range. The
other appliances will then light more quickly.
