LP/Propane Tank Connection
Outdoor side burners orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly
for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector. (See LP/Propane tank
requirements on page 6).
Built-in installations must be plumbed using a fixed/hard line if the unit is going to be operated at a distance exceeding 3
feet (0.91 meters) from the fuel supply per ANSI Z21.24. Also, in a built-in construction where an LP/Propane tank is going
to be used, there MUST be some type of support (braces, cut-out, etc.) to prevent tank from moving within the installation.
The support must also allow the LP/Propane tank to withstand a horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of the tank
without tipping over. The tank can not tip over or deflect more than 1.00 inch when a 38 lb. horizontal force is applied to a
20 lb. LP/Propane tank.
Connection: 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male with a 3/8” (.95) flare adapter
Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P.
To connect to LP/Propane regulator/hose assembly:
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the quick disconnect system is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you
should always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve “OFF” after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. First
connect the regulator to the grill unit by screwing the 3/8” flare coupling ot the 3/8” flare adaptor. Connect to the tank
valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve and check the connection
between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the
connection. Repeat until all leaks have been stopped. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK
CHANGE.
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP/Propane gas.

LP/Propane Tank Requirements
A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a cylinder
with a damaged valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD (overfilling protection device). This is a DOT
requirement for all tanks purchased after October 1, 1998 and will ensure that the tank is not overfilled. The LP/Propane
tank should be a standard 5-gal, 20 lb. gas cylinder tank approximately 12” in diameter and 18” high which must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP/Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. The cylinder connection device must be compatible with the Type
1, QCC-1 connector on the outdoor cooking appliance. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in
an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-vented area out of the reach
of children.
