• 

Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders

 of the U.S. De-

partment of Transportation or the National Standard 

of  Canada, 

CAN/CSA-B339,  Cylinders,  Spheres 

and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods;

Approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 inches 

• 

high.

The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 

gallons.    Full  cylinder  weight  should  be  approximately 

38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill the 

cylinder beyond 80% full.

Place the dust cap on the 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 Gas Hook Up

An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by 

openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor 

level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes of 

ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas supply 

cylinder in place.  This shall be accomplished in one of 

the following manners:

One  side  of  the  enclosure  shall  be  completely 

1. 

open.
Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top 

2. 

and bottom:

At  least  two  ventilation  openings  at  cylinder 

a. 

valve  level  shall  be  provided  in  the  sidewall, 

equally  sized,  spaced  at  180º  (3.14  rad),  and 

unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total 

free area of not less than one square inch per 

pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and 

not less than a total free area of 10 square inch

es (64.5 cm²).
Ventilation  openings  shall  be  provided  at  floor 

b. 

level and shall have a total free area of not less 

than  one  square  inch  per  pound  (7.1  cm²/kg) 

of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total 

free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm²).  If ven

there shall be at least two openings.  The bot

-

the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) 

above the floor. The openings shall be equally 

sized, spaced at 180º (3.14 rad) and unobstruct

-

ed.

Every opening shall have minimum dimensions 

c. 

so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2

-

inder is secured in an upright position with the control 

valve turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylin

-

ders outdoors and out of reach of children. Do not store 

cylinders  in  a  building,  garage,  or  any  other  enclosed 

area.

supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is 

manufactured for.

IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an unregulated 

gas supply.
The installation of this appliance must conform with lo

-

cal codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the na-

tional fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998. Installation in

Ensure that the service supplying the grill is fitted with a 

shut off valve conveniently positioned near the grill and 

giving ease of access.

The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping sys

-

tem by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during 

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at 

test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-

nected  from  the  gas  supply  piping  system  during  any 

pressure testing of that system at test pressure in ex
