The tank must be marked in accordance with the latest DOT specification for LP gas tanks: Specifications for LP gas Cylinders (DOT CFR49).
To Connect the LP Gas Supply: 1. Ensure the 20 lb. LP tank valve is fully closed. To do so, make sure the tank handle is turned all the way clockwise. You should not hear a hissing noise or smell propane. 2. All gas control (burner) knobs must be in the off position. 3. Align the 3/8” brass coupling nut with the LP tank threads; turn the coupling nut clockwise by hand. Note that the fittings have flared ends and do not require any modifications or sealant.
