HOSES AND REGULATORS 

WARNING!

Your Pro Steamer is designed to operate on L.P. (propane) vapor gas at a pressure
regulated at 0 to 10 psi. The regulator(s) supplied with the Pro Steamer is/are set to
this pressure and must be used. 

This regulator is equipped with the Type I (Q.C.C.1), quick closing connection system,
which incorporates the following features:

1) Will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made.

2) Has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to temperatures

between 115° and 150°C (240° & 300°F). 

3) Has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow of gas to 10

cubic feet per hour.

TYPE I CYLINDER CONNECTIONS: 

If the large plastic thermally sensitive coupling nut is exposed to temperatures above
115° - 150°C, it will soften and allow the regulator probe to disengage from the cylinder
valve, thereby shutting off the flow of gas. Should this occur: do not attempt to reconnect
the nut. Remove the entire hose and regulator assembly and replace it with a new one
(see parts list). 

The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before operating
your Pro Steamer again. The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensing element, which
will limit the flow of gas to the regulator to a manageable amount (10 cubic feet per
hour) in the event of a hose or regulator failure, or a severe leak. 

If it is evident that the flow-limiting device has activated, the cause of the excessive flow
must be determined and corrected before using your Pro Steamer again. 

NOTE: Improper lighting procedures can cause the flow-limiting device to activate,
resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, shut off the burner control and
cylinder valve, and carefully repeat lighting instructions step by step. Do not remove the
nut and probe and do not attempt to connect to anything other than a mating Type I
(Q.C.C.1) cylinder valve. 

• Never connect the Pro Steamer to an unregulated propane gas supply or other gas.

• Do not attempt to alter the hose or regulator in any way. 

• Do not allow the hose to come in contact with any hot surfaces of the Pro Steamer. 

• Visually inspect the entire length of the hose assembly before each use for any

evidence of damage (cuts, cracks, burns) or excessive wear. If found, replace the
assembly before using your Pro Steamer. Only a hose assembly as specified in the
parts list for your Pro Steamer can be used.

• The connection fitting must be protected when disconnected from the propane

cylinder. If the fitting is allowed to drag on the ground, damage to the fitting may occur
resulting in leaks or an incomplete connection. Dirt could also enter the small inlet
hole, blocking gas flow completely. parts list for your Pro Steamer can be used.
