Connect Grill to Gas Source
GXL-45 Operator Manual
Liquid Petroleum Gas
The consumer must provide a regulator to connect the grill to the LP gas cylinder. Ensure the regulator is
equipped with a hose long enough to reach from the grill’s gas intake fitting to the LP cylinder. The regulator
must use a 3/8” connector to attach to the grill (below right).

Inspect the head of the gas cylinder and head of the regulator valve to ensure there is no debris; use
a soft brush to remove any debris

cause damage and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
