Installation Tips
- Ensure the propane cylinder valve is fully closed before installation or removal.
- Hand-tighten the green or black Acme nut onto the propane cylinder valve. Do not use tools.
- Use a wrench to secure the 1/4″ inverted flare fitting to the regulator inlet port. Use a second wrench to hold the regulator fitting to prevent damage.
- After installation is complete, slowly open the cylinder valve and check all connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.
- Position the hose to prevent sharp bends, kinks, and contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
