fit this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top
and bottom rings. The LP tank used with your appliance must
meet the following requirements:
• Purchase LP tanks only with these required measurements:
12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9
kg.) capacity maximum.

specifications for LP tank of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada,

a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
