LP Gas connection cont.
Note for Gas Installers : Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with a bulk cylinder,
require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by
removing the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger to see what fuel type is
visible. This is the regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can
be further identified by the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change from one gas to the
other simply push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads the desired
gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then replace the cap
into the regulators.
LP connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible for the valve to be open without releasing gas
but, as soon as you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the connection.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler nut clockwise until the coupler
nut is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection. See Figure 1 & 2.
To disconnect the coupler nut, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler nut
and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
Always leak-test the connection after refilling or exchanging LP cylinders. (See Leak Testing on Page 27.)
Dust Cap - Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs
may result in leakage of propane.)

LP cylinder requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the provided cylinder retention system to avoid
accidental movement.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange only for a Type 1 -20lb cylinder with an over-fill
protection device.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your
LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See Leak Testing instructions on Page 27.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the grill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored
indoors, the LP cylinder must be detached from grill and stored outside.
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20
lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are included.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
