WHAT IS A REGULATOR?
Your Weber
®
gas grill is
equipped with a pressure
regulator, which is a device to
control and maintain uniform
gas pressure as gas is
released from the LP tank.
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS
Each Weber
®
LP regulator is designed for vapor
withdrawal and is equipped with a UL-listed Type 1 tank
connection as described in the latest edition of ANSI
Z21.58. THE LP TANK THAT YOU CONNECT TO THE
REGULATOR MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A COMPATIBLE
TYPE 1 CONNECTION IN THE TANK VALVE. This Type 1
connection allows you to make a fast and safe hookup
between your Weber
®
gas grill and the LP tank.
NOTE: Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1
coupling is fully engaged.
• The pressure regulator supplied with the Weber
®
gas
grill must be used. This regulator is set for 11 inches
of water column pressure.
• Replacement pressure regulator and hose
assemblies must be those specified by Weber-
Stephen Products LLC.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent
hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water.
This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs, etc.
• The gas connections supplied with your Weber
®
gas
appliance have been designed and tested to meet
100% of CSA and ANSI requirements.
m WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must
match the regulator connection supplied
with this Weber
®
gas appliance.
