5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B)
into LP tank valve. Hand tighten
coupling nut, holding regulator in
a straight line (C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the
connection.

An additional one-half to three
quarters turn is required to
complete connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete
connection, disconnect regulator and
repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still
unable to complete the connection,
do not use this regulator!

into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result
in explosion, fire, severe personal
injury, or death.

appliance to the self-contained LP
gas system of a camper or trailer or
motor home.
