BLOW OUT FUEL LINE PRIOR TO ATTACHING TO THE PROPANE SUPPLY AND THE
APPLIANCE OR TAPE OVER THE FITTING WHEN INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE SO NO
DEBRIS WILL ENTER.
LPG System Installation
**In some cases the solenoid valve is installed on the low pressure side of the system (i.e. after the
LPG regulator) See solenoid manufactures’ instruction for proper installation.
1. Starting from the propane tank itself, the fuel line attachments should occupy the following
positions: (a) the tank shut-off valve, (b) the solenoid valve, (c) the pressure gauge, (d) the
regulator, and (e) the range itself.
2. If you’ve chosen the gimbaled installation option, the gas supply line should be a flexible fire-
resistant hose, UL/CGA approved for use with propane systems, 3/8” 10mm forged female flare
nut machine crimped on each end.
If your range is a built-in style, you should use either soft copper tubing or a UL/CGA approved
gas hose with a 3/8” (10mm) forged female flare nuts machine crimped onto each end.
Because every connection is a potential leak, the fuel line should be one continuous length of hose
or tubing. Do not make a “T” off the fuel line between an existing appliance and the gas cylinder
to feed another appliance. (You may install a “T” only within the fuel tanks enclosure (propane
locker).
Be sure not to kink the hose or piping connecting the regulator with the range by bending it too
sharply during installation – remember that the pressure (North American) on the downstream side
of the regulator is less than 0.433 psi (28mbar)
3. Protect the hose against vibration and damage by securing it tightly to bulkheads and hull side
with non-corrosive ties or clamps which will not cut, abrade or pinch it.
4. Fuel lines must be protected by close-fitting grommets and sealants where they pass through decks
or bulkheads, and the passage must be made vapor-tight. They should be installed so that they are
readily accessible to inspection.
