LP Gas Hook-Up for Type 1 or QCC1 Regulator
LP Tank Requirements:
A dented or rusted LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your local supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Always
check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and manufactured in
accordance with specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/
CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator and hose
assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator and hose
assembly with a standard 791 tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve
terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the
appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. Place dust cap on 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.
The Element by Fuego grill is orificed for use with LP gas and comes
equipped with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is
not included. LP hose and fittings are included. Operating pressure:
11” W.C.
To connect the LP regulator and hose assembly to the tank/valve
assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely
closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system
is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should always turn
off the LP tank main valve after each use and during transport of the
tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn
the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not over
tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner
control valve on the unit to the high position for about 20 seconds to
allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5
minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is
turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter-clockwise.
The inlet will then disengage, remove the inlet from the tank valve
opening if it has not already done so when disengaged. Your local LP
filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill
your tank.
